Feasability analysis in the calculation
The 3D visualization and listing of the DFM "Design for Manufacturability" check helps the user to identify potential problems in manufacturing such as thin walls or misaligned holes during calculation. What are the advantages of this automatic geometry analysis? Saves time checking for manufacturability and minimizes the effort of manual rework.Automatic raw material visualization
With our automatic raw material visualization, users can see the orientation of the part in the raw material within the 3D viewer and check whether the automatically assigned cutting of the raw material makes sense for the part - for even more transparency and efficiency in the costing and manufacturing process.schedule.Sorting of resources in the working schedule simplified
To simplify use, it is now possible to move the process steps in the work schedule using drag and drop. If you click on the corresponding icon, hold down the mouse button and move the process step with the mouse, all process steps are displayed collapsed to improve clarity. The selected process step can then be dropped at the desired position in the working schedule.New unit for a resource available
It is now possible to select the area as a unit for a resource and to store scale prices and minimum order values.Specify customers directly when uploading multiple parts
To simplify data maintenance when uploading multiple parts, it is now possible to specify the customer of a part directly during the upload.Display of article number in geometric similarity search
The article number is now displayed in the geometric similarity search results to make it easier to find the correct part.Insertion of process steps in the working plan
It is now possible to insert another process step at any point and not only at the end of the work schedule.Easy switch from calculation to part
When editing a calculation, it is now possible to go directly to the part in order to edit it.Deleting a calculation directly at the part
When editing a part, it is now possible to delete calculations for this part directly without leaving the current page.More characters for field index status possible
The "Index status" field now has a maximum length of 100 characters.Geometric similarity search on every part upload.
When uploading a part, the geometric similarity search runs in the background. If a geometrically identical part is found, its working plan is adopted.More units available in the resources
Previously, it was only possible to create time as a unit with the values for setup hourly rate, runtime hourly rate and the average setup time. Now it is possible to select quantity, weight or volume as unit and to store minimum order values.Simple deletion of a calculation
When editing a calculation, it is now possible to delete it directly via the three-point menu. It is no longer necessary to go to the overview page of the calculations to delete one.Improvements in the display of geometric similarity search results
In the geometric similarity search results, there is now an option to adopt a working plan of a similar part in order to create the working plan for the new part faster.Automatic creation of the part name
When you create a new part, the file name of the first uploaded file is automatically used as the name for the part. Of course, you can change this before saving if necessary for your purposes.Tolerance class preselected
In order to reduce the effort for data entry, the tolerance class ISO-2768-1m is now always preselected as the default tolerance class. Of course, you can select another tolerance class before saving the part, if this should be necessary for your purposes.Duplicate check before component creation
When you upload a new component, the system checks whether there are already components with similar values for name and item number before saving. If so, the corresponding components are displayed. In this way, accidental duplicates can be avoided.Improvements in calculation
Parts that have both milling and turning feature are now automatically identified. If you have saved machines for turn milling in your resources, these are automatically selected for machining in order to produce the component in one process step. If not, separate process steps are created on the respective resources for turning and milling in the working plan.Transfer of scale price into the offer
If you have created scale prices in a calculation, these are now automatically transferred to the offer. This saves you having to transfer the data manually.Copy a calculation
In order to save time, you can copy existing calculations and use them as the basis for a new calculation. To do this, go to the overview of calculations and click on the button "Create calculation". Then you can select the corresponding calculation.Raw material with two decimal places
The dimensions of raw materials can now be created with two decimal places.Information about raw material fitting accurancy
Based on your raw material database you get an additional information in the first part analysis regarding the fitting accurancy of the chosen raw material to have as little waste as possible.Expansion of order information
From now on it shows you within a calculation of a part if offers have already been made for this component.

Who is behind up2parts?
up2parts GmbH is a software company specialist in the development of efficiency-enhancing solutions for the digitalisation of production processes. Our team consists of 80 software developers, including 15 Al experts/data scientists (as of August 2021). up2parts GmbH was founded in 2019 in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate, as the former software department of the modern contract manufacturer BAM GmbH with 150 employees. The experience and daily work of today·s sister company BAM are used by up2parts GmbH as a basis for the development of innovative software solutions.
For which machining processes is up2parts suitable?
Basically, the variety of manufacturing processes and materials that can be integrated is unlimited. Automatie calculations can be created according to the current state of development by means of a company-specific artificial intelligence (Al) for the processes milling, turning and sheet metal working or Laser cutting. The development of up2parts is ongoing.
ls there an ERP connection?
We provide our customers with an open API (standard interface). This means that our up2parts products can be integrated into your digital systems, such as ERP or CRM. Simply contact us for this. In addition, you have the possibility to carry out .csv imports & exports.
How secure is my data?
We do not allow for any compromises when it comes to the security of your data. This is why we work exclusively in accordance with the highest standards and host the data in Microsoft Azure Europe (i.e. your data is never hosted on local servers). We rely on state-of-the-art cloud technologies with multiple layers of encryption, for example, through permanent SSL & TSL encryption during data transfer. All 3D models, drawings, customer databases and other data are located in server-side encrypted data storage in accordance with the FIPS 140-2 standard (AES 256-bit). It is likely that your data has never been as secure as it is in this advanced cloud.
I don´t have a 3D model, am I able to use up2parts calculation as well?
No 3D model of the component available? No problem. Even with 2D drawings you can use the immense advantages of up2parts calculation. You only need to create the work plan manually with a few clicks based on your individual data. The software then takes over the price calculation fully automatically.
Does the AI also learn work steps? (e.g. after milling still hardening etc.)
The company-specific AI learns your work steps by creating calculations and offers them in a subsequent calculation. For example, if you always harden certain materials after they have been milled, your company-specific AI learns this and offers you the hardening step for suitable parts. It is important that you create a resource for the work steps to be learned. This is the only way the AI can learn from your work plans.
What do I need to calculation automatically?
In up2parts cloud basic, resources (machines), materials and raw materials must be created for a successful automatic calculation. It is important that suitable raw materials are available. You also need a step file of a turned or milled part. However, if you have not created any resources in up2parts cloud basic, up2parts calculation will suggest a suitable process for the part and inform you that you have not created any suitable resources. A manual calculation can also be done without a step file. You can create a work plan manually at any time.
What is the up2parts AI?
The up2parts AI, which works behind up2parts calculation, consists of a core intelligence and a shell. The core intelligence describes the company-independent WHAT on the component and is used to analyse general information, such as component size: 50x20x50 mm, 10x5 mm groove at position X/Y/Z. The shell of the intelligence describes the company-specific HOW on the component and is used by training. The intelligence envelope describes the company-specific HOW on the component and becomes more intelligent by teaching you. It serves to preserve your expertise, which is a major advantage of up2parts calculation. The information supplier for core and shell is the specially developed feature recognition.
How does the up2parts AI gets trained?
The up2parts AI learns from your calculations. We like to compare the learning process of artificial intelligence with an apprentice in the 2nd year of apprenticeship, which we provide you with up2parts calculation. This apprentice can provide you with valid calculation results, but he still needs some support to apply your company-specific knowledge. So you teach your apprentice the HOW and thus train the shell of your AI. It is important that you adjust the automatically calculated times (running time, set-up time) to your company-specific times so that the AI (your up2parts apprentice) can learn from your corrected times. Your adjusted routings are also used as learning material for your company-specific AI. In doing so, it learns from every calculation stored in up2parts (recalculations). Through continuous learning you increase the calculation accuracy. The learning speed depends on the variety of parts and production. Due to the high computing power required for this, we always train your company-specific AI at the weekend.
How fast does the AI learn?
The artificial intelligence learns from 10 stored calculations. Due to the high computing power required for this, the up2arts AI is retrained at the weekend. As already described in "how does the up2parts AI learn", you can compare our AI with an apprentice in the 2nd year of his apprenticeship, who can create quite acceptable calculations, but is still dependent on your company-specific knowledge. If you always let this apprentice calculate the same simple cube, he will master it perfectly in no time and provide you with a very good calculation result. However, if you have a very large variety of parts and production, your apprentice will need a little more time to build up new and extensive company-specific knowledge. In the same way, you need to look at the learning time of your company-specific AI. The learning speed that the up2parts AI needs to learn from you depends strongly on your component and production diversity.
