One request
Sheet parts and machined parts together.
Separate lines
Material, milling, setup and finishing.
An estimate
Labelled as one, and correctable with a reason.
More than cutting alone.
The flat pattern.
Sheet size and cut length follow from the flat pattern.
Bend order.
A short flange or a bend that gets in the way needs other tooling or another order.
After cutting.
Bending, welding and finishing often cost more than the cutting itself.

Underneath Blake sits Subduxion’s manufacturing world model: how a part, its requirements, your machines and your team’s decisions fit together. The cost model for this process is built on the same requirements and machines.
- Model, drawing and requirements are already in place, part by part.
- Next: time and price for this process from the same requirements, on your own machines.
- The machined parts in the same request are already estimated.
Frequently asked questions
Does Blake estimate sheet metal?
Sheet parts sit in the request with model, drawing and quantity, taken in as sheet parts beside the machined parts. Blake estimates the machined parts in the same request. Next comes the sheet metal estimate: cutting, bending and welding from the flat pattern, on your own machines.
Can I put sheet parts and machined parts in one request?
Yes. Every part gets its own line with model, drawing, quantity and revision, whether it is a sheet part or a milled or turned part.
Which requirements does Blake take from a sheet metal drawing?
Material, tolerances and finishing, as proposals beside the STEP model. You confirm or correct them.
Which files does Blake need for sheet metal?
A STEP model and a PDF drawing per part, in one upload for the whole request. Blake pairs model and drawing by file name and leaves any doubt as a question for you.
