Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Quads reads a STEP file, drawing, or photo and produces setups, tooling, costs, G-code, and a verification pass.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The workflow derives setups, operations, cutter choices, costs, and G-code from a supplied part rather than treating quoting and programming as separate tasks. In the displayed bracket example, it identifies a 0.8 mm thin wall, plans two setups, selects three cutters, estimates 18 minutes of machine time, and produces a $152.40 quote. The site says the generated program is read back against the originating geometry before anything runs.
