CAM Software
Turn complete 3D CAD assemblies into structured manufacturing data in minutes.
Almacam Assembly importer transforms complex 3D CAD assemblies into structured, production-ready manufacturing data. Instead of manually opening assemblies, identifying components, counting quantities, checking materials, and preparing individual parts, the software automatically analyses the complete assembly and retrieves the information required for quotation and production.
A single assembly can contain folded sheet metal parts, 2D parts, tubes, profiles, and purchased components. Almacam automatically recognizes the different component types and their properties, retrieves quantities, identifies bends, and unfolds sheet metal parts. A guided assistant allows users to review, complete, or modify the detected information before the data moves into costing or manufacturing preparation.
For quotation teams, the imported assembly can flow directly into Almacam Quote for assembly-level costing. For production teams, the same engineering data can be reused to prepare parts for cutting and punching in Almacam—reducing duplicate data entry between design, costing, and manufacturing.
Stop costing assemblies part by part. Import the complete assembly and move from 3D CAD to quotation or production preparation in minutes.
Key features
Import complete 3D CAD assemblies and automatically analyse their structure. Almacam identifies individual components and separates sheet metal parts, tubes, profiles, and other items for downstream processing.
Automatically retrieve part quantities and manufacturing properties from the assembly. Reduce the manual engineering effort required to inspect components one by one before quotation or production.
Benefits
Use cases
Import large mechanical-welded or sheet metal assemblies and automatically prepare their component structure, quantities, and manufacturing data for costing.
Analyse complete 3D product assemblies during development to understand part structure and prepare manufacturing cost estimates earlier.
Convert customer or engineering assemblies into organized manufacturing data without manually extracting and preparing every component.
Use the same imported assembly data first for quotation and later for CAM preparation when the order is won.

FAQ
Common questions
Almacam Assembly importer automatically analyses complete 3D CAD assemblies and extracts the information required for quotation and manufacturing preparation. It reduces the manual work of opening, identifying, counting, and preparing every component individually.
Almacam Assembly importer can process standard 3D exchange formats such as STEP, IGES, and Parasolid, as well as native CAD data from major systems including PTC Creo, CATIA, Siemens NX (UG-NX), SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor. Supported formats and versions depend on the configured CAD interfaces.
The software can process mixed assemblies containing folded sheet metal parts, flat parts, tubes, profiles, and other components. It helps identify and organize different part types for quotation and manufacturing preparation.
Insights
We'll bring your machines, your parts, and your real numbers — and show you the difference.
Recognize folded sheet metal parts and automatically generate flat geometry for downstream costing and manufacturing preparation. This helps convert 3D design data into usable production information faster.
Reuse imported assembly data for costing in Almacam Quote or for CAM preparation of parts to cut or punch. The same source assembly can support both quotation and production workflows, reducing repeated data preparation.
