Sheet Metal Analysis & Production Planning
Sheet Metal Analysis and Pricing
Supported sheet metal CAD files can now be analysed for bend count, material thickness, flat blank area, and bend geometry. Manufacturers can enable bending for individual processes, review detected bends in the model viewer, and use the new sheet metal values in pricing equations.
Plan and Review Production Work
Work orders can now include planned start and due dates, giving production teams clearer scheduling information in the backlog. Nesting imports retain part placement and rotation data so saved layouts can be reviewed in 3D, and eligible production steps can be reversed when parts need to return to an earlier stage.
Purchase Orders for Direct Orders
Manufacturers can require a purchase order when creating a direct order, capture the reference during checkout, or explicitly continue without one when their workflow permits it. Direct-order conversions also notify connected systems through the standard conversion webhook.
Customer-Controlled Quote Line Removal
Manufacturers can choose to let customers remove eligible line items from an open quote. The quote is repriced after each removal, the manufacturer is notified, and safeguards keep at least one line item in the quote while protecting assembly relationships.
More Control Over Organisation Access
Users with access to multiple manufacturer organisations are now prompted to select the organisation they want to enter. Organisation consent and token refresh handling have been improved, and API keys can now be created with no expiry or with a configurable expiry between 24 hours and one year.
