Waltham, MA—AMC Bridge has published a new case study showing how a manufacturer of custom-fabricated and finished aluminum extrusions transformed a manual, engineering-intensive quotation process into an accessible web-based 3D design and quoting experience.
Preparing a quote previously required designers and engineers to interpret customer information, clarify requirements, create or revise designs, and calculate the necessary materials. The process could take up to five days, limiting quotation speed and making it more difficult to respond efficiently to customer demand.
To address these challenges, AMC Bridge developed a proprietary web-based 3D configuration solution for creating custom assemblies from prefabricated aluminum extrusions and components. The application allows users to develop and revise designs, validate component connections, calculate bills of materials, and receive real-time pricing within a single workflow.
By bringing design, validation, material calculation, and pricing together, the application helped the manufacturer reduce quotation time, decrease repetitive work for its in-house specialists, and lower the risk of errors associated with incomplete or incorrectly specified designs. The more accessible customer experience also supported stronger customer satisfaction, quotation competitiveness, and business growth.
The case study demonstrates the value of purpose-built engineering software for manufacturers whose workflows cannot be fully addressed by off-the-shelf tools. Developed without dependency on paid third-party software components, the solution gives the client ownership of the intellectual property and greater control over future customization, integration, and product evolution.
