Metal & Engineering
From technical drawings to a draft quote.
Bring drawings, specifications and quantities together. Think matches the inquiry to your materials and manufacturing processes, then prepares a draft using your pricing calculations.
Your processes. Your pricing. Your team’s approval.
More than a material and a quantity.
Material grades, thicknesses, tolerances and finishing requirements all affect the quote. Think brings those details together so your estimators can focus on the decisions that need their expertise.
A typical engineering inquiry
Could you quote 20 steel mounting brackets to the attached drawing? Include cutting, folding, welded stiffeners and powder coating. Dimensions, material grade and finish are in the specification.
Match your materials & processes.
Match the requirements to the materials, operations and options you configure in Think.
Prepare it for your estimator.
Apply your pricing calculations to prepare a draft. Your team checks the specification, quantities and price before approving.
Your workshop. Your way of quoting.
We configure Think around your fabrication, machining or engineering work and how you calculate each job.
Your materials & operations
Configure material grades, stock sizes, operations and finishes. Your team reviews tolerances, manufacturability and the proposed production route.
