Frequently asked questions about costing24:
What is costing24?
costing24 is an incredible tool that allows you to calculate the manufacturing costs of your parts online using only the CAD model.
- It’s incredibly fast, making it a breeze to calculate the manufacturing costs of turned, milled, and bent parts.
- It’s not just any tool — it’s highly developed, thanks to years of fine-tuning simus systems calculation algorithms in numerous projects and various companies.
- And that’s not all — it provides extensive options to customize technology data for the individual calculation.
What does costing24 cost?
- Try it for 10 days for free with your own models!
- The test phase ends automatically, so you don’t have to worry about any hidden costs.
- After that, it’s just 200 euros a month—that’s 200 calculations included in the price.
- And if you need more, you can easily book additional calculation packages whenever you need them.
- Best of all, there’s no risk—you can cancel monthly if you want.
For which processing methods is costing24 suitable?
costing24 is suitable for turning, milling and sheet metal/bending processing.
Which model formats can I upload?
The following 3D CAD model formats are supported: SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, CATIA V5, Creo Parametric, JT (with XT-Brep), STEP, S3D (own format from simus classmate). costing24 works independently of the modeling methodology used. However, it must be a 3D solid model. 2D models or 3D surface models are not supported.
Is my CAD data secure?
We know how important it is to keep your models safe. That’s why, once we’ve analyzed the native model, the information is only saved in simus’ own s3d format. We guarantee that the original files won’t be stored and can’t fall into the hands of third parties. Rest assured, your models never leave Germany, as our servers are located here. Other users won’t be able to access your data either.
Can I integrate costing24 on my own website as a service for my customers?
Yes, that is possible! You can find more information here.

What is classmate PLAN and how does it differ from costing24?
classmate PLAN is a comprehensive software package that can be integrated into company processes and infrastructure on a long-term basis. It is used to carry out preliminary costing of in-house designed components and assemblies prior to work planning. Work plans are also created automatically.
costing24 is a web-based software that offers a number of customization options and calculates manufacturing costs quickly and easily. Further differences in detail are available here.
How does costing24 know what the production costs are?
Our data is derived from the calculation algorithms and best-practice values of our classmate PLAN software, which has been utilized by prominent industrial clients for numerous years.
For additional information regarding classmate PLAN, please visit this website.
How can I influence production processes?
The proposed manufacturing processes are based on the machines that are suitable for processing. Under “Configure” in the menu, you can activate machines for the calculation that you have available or deactivate those that you do not wish to use.
simus classmate stands for data transparency and excellent data structure in the manufacturing industry.
We prepare your data in a flexible, efficient and systematic way for the best possible use in sophisticated digital processes. Surprise yourself with the potential of your data! We are happy to advise you on designing innovative and sustainable data processes.
