New! Calculates the Product Carbon Footprint automatically
costing24 calculates the CO2 emissions of your components
by a systematic analysis of the CAD model and an automated assignment of manufacturing processes, processing steps and machines.
„You won’t need to consult a crystal ball from now on.“
With costing24 you can automatically calculate quotation prices and production times based on CAD models. All production-relevant characteristics are automatically evaluated. Within seconds, you receive a detailed costing proposal that shows setup and unit costs, as well as production times and CO2 emissions. Delivered as Software-as-a-Service, the solution is ready to use with no configuration required.
However, you can also customize costing24 to suit your business. This allows you to customize the calculation results based on the hourly rates of your machines. You can make the adjustments quickly and easily online.
You can test costing24 for 10 days free of charge. After this period you will have the option to sign up for a monthly subscription. No risk – our service can be canceled on a monthly basis.
costing24 is the perfect solution for the online calculation of parts to be produced by turning, milling, bending and drilling processing techniques.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
What is costing24?
With costing24, you calculate the manufacturing costs of your parts online – only using the CAD model.
- Super fast calculation of manufacturing costs of turned, milled and bent parts.
- Highly developed by years of fine tuning simus systems calculation algorithms in numerous projects and various companies.
- Provides extensive options to customize technology data for the individual calculation.
What does costing24 cost?
A free test mode is available in which you can calculate given sample models to try the functions. After the registration, you can upload your own models and customize your technology data. The first 10 days after registration are free, subsequently, the charge of €200 per 200 calculations are due per month. Further packages can be added on demand at an additional charge.
How does costing24 know the manufacturing costs?
Our data is based on on algorithms and best practice values of our classmate PLAN software which has been performing for renowned clients in the industry. More information on classmate PLAN »
Which processing techniques is costing24 suitable for?
Parts to be produced by turning, milling, drilling and bending processing techniques.
Which formats are supported?
The following 3D CAD models are supported: SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, CATIA V5, Creo Parametric, JT (with XT-Brep), STEP, S3D (format developed by simus classmate). costing24 works independently from the modeling method used. A 3D solid is a mandatory requirement. 2D models or 3D surface models are not supported.
How can I add or remove processing techniques?
The suggested processing techniques correlate with machines suitable for processing. In “Settings”, you can activate machines you require for the calculation or deactivate those you do not wish to use.
How does costing24 protect my CAD data?
Your models are protected: After the analysis of the original model, the data is stored as the s3d format developed by simus systems. The original files will not be stored and will therefore not fall into unauthorized hands. Your models will not leave German borders as the servers are located in Germany. Other users of costing24 cannot access your data.
Which devices can I use costing24 on?
Can be used in any common current browser, as well as on mobile devices.
What is classmate PLAN and how does it differ from costing24?
classmate PLAN is a locally installed software which is integrated to the unique requirement of company processes and infrastructure in the long term in order to precalculate parts and assemblies made by your own company before work scheduling. Additionally, work schedules are generated automatically. costing24 is a web-based software providing several customizing options and therefore calculates manufacturing costs quickly and easily.
