SmartCast reads your casting and machining drawings with AI, plots every dimension as a numbered balloon, and carries it straight through to a costed customer quotation — so your engineers review and approve instead of starting from a blank sheet.
Every stage of an incoming enquiry — extraction, engineering review, costing, and the final quotation — lives in a single wizard, backed by a shared library that gets smarter with every RFQ your team approves.
Upload a casting or machining drawing (PDF or image) and Claude reads the title block — part name, drawing number, revision, material, weight — straight into the RFQ.
Every dimension, tolerance, and GD&T callout gets a numbered balloon, sequenced sheet by sheet across multi-page drawings — not just one page at a time.
A dedicated review screen for zooming into the drawing, correcting a misread value, re-cropping a view, or approving a balloon — with confidence scoring on every extracted field.
Raw material, tooling, surface treatment, and process costs roll up automatically from the balloon data, with room to adjust any line before it goes to the customer.
Export a clean, branded Excel quotation and a plotted balloon drawing package the customer can review dimension-by-dimension.
Track every enquiry on a Kanban board from draft through engineering approval to quoted, with role-based sign-off before anything goes out the door.
Most quoting tools are generic. SmartCast was built inside a die-casting shop, for the drawings and workflow that shop actually runs — casting drawings, machining drawings, GD&T balloons, and the costing structure that follows from them.
Corrections your engineers make during review feed a shared knowledge library, so extraction accuracy improves the more your team uses it.
Every RFQ, drawing, and customer record is scoped to your organization — teammates you invite see your data, no one else's.
Makers draft, engineers review and approve, management signs off on what actually reaches a customer — the workflow mirrors how quoting decisions really get made.
Every finalized RFQ resolves into a customer record automatically, so your enquiry history builds itself as you quote.
