Deep Dive

See exactly how
it works.

Three deep-dive videos showing the geometry engine, surface classification, and cost derivation in action. Real parts. Real results.

The deliverable is a single self-contained HTML file. Open it in any browser. Rotate the 3D part. Inspect every surface. Export your cost report, DFM analysis, and tooling list to Excel — all from one file. No software. No login. No cloud dependency.

01

Upload your STEP file

Drag and drop any standard STEP file. UproarCNC reads the solid geometry directly — no simplification, no mesh conversion.

02

Automatic analysis runs

The engine detects features — walls, floors, holes, fillets, chamfers, pockets — classifies setups, assigns tooling, and scores DFM risk areas.

03

Download your deliverables

Get a single interactive HTML report with your DFM score, cost breakdown, and tooling list — all exportable to Excel.

Capabilities

Everything a machinist
actually needs.

Every output is derived directly from geometry — not configured, not estimated. The same cost comes out every single time.

💰

Cost Analysis

Material, machining time, setup, and finishing costs broken down by operation and setup. Adjustable quantities with live recalculation.

DFM Scoring

Automated design-for-manufacturability analysis with a 0–100 score. Flags tight tolerances, thin walls, deep pockets, drill breakouts, and more.

Who It's For

Four teams. One tool.
Zero guesswork.

UproarCNC solves a different problem for each person who touches a part.

Design Engineer
Stop releasing bad models.

Bad rounding strategies. Sharp internal corners. Features that can't be machined. Each one doubles your cost or triggers an ECO that costs thousands. UproarCNC checks 10 DFM categories and scores your part 0–100. You find out exactly where you screwed up — before you throw it over the wall.

✓ Right the first time
✓ No ECOs from bad geometry
✓ Hit cost targets at release
Sourcing & Supply Chain
Know what you should be paying.

Sending five RFQs and taking the best number isn't a strategy. UproarCNC tells you exactly what a part should cost before a single quote comes back. When quotes come in, you know if you're getting ripped off — or underpaying a supplier into bankruptcy.

✓ Instant should-cost
✓ Massive negotiating leverage
✓ Shorten the RFQ cycle
Machine Shops
Quote it fast. Quote it right.

First quote in usually wins. And if you quote wrong — too high you lose the job, too low you lose your shirt. Five estimators give you five different numbers. UproarCNC gives you the same exact cost every time, derived straight from the geometry.

✓ Quote in under 60 seconds
✓ Same cost every time
✓ Full tooling list included
Machine Tool OEMs
Sell the right number of machines.

A customer needs to make 3 million parts a year. How many machines do they need? Run the part, get exact cycle time, match it to your machine library, model shift patterns — and tell them precisely how many machines to buy and why.

✓ Exact cycle time per part
✓ Match to your machine library
✓ On-prem / ITAR ready

Frank spent 40 years doing what UproarCNC does — manually. APT programming at McDonnell Douglas. Running machines making submarine propellers and nuclear pump seals. A decade at PTC as their manufacturing expert. Twenty years at aPriori building machining cost models.

The problem was always the same: the software didn't work, and the developers wouldn't listen. Every existing DFM and costing solution is either a black box or a sophisticated guess.

"This is not an AI model. It's a mechanistic model developed with AI. Every cost figure, every DFM flag, every tool call is derived directly from your part geometry — traceable, deterministic, and defensible."

UproarCNC is what happens when a subject matter expert in CAD, CAM, CNC programming, geometry extraction, and manufacturing cost modeling no longer needs to ask a developer for anything.

See it live on
your actual parts.

We start with a live demo — Frank walks you through exactly what UproarCNC does and how it works. If it's a fit, send us 2-3 of your everyday production parts and we'll run them live and review the results with you together.

This isn't a free part-running service. It's a conversation about whether UproarCNC solves your problem.
