The CostChecker NxG. The Revolution in Cost Calculation
We’ve all been there: New components and assemblies are being designed, development is in full swing - and it’s not until the very end of the process that we find out, what the whole thing actually costs. By then, it’s too late for true cost optimization. The new CostChecker NxG solves exactly this problem.
The New CostChecker NxG - Next Generation
The CostChecker NxG is integrated with our flagship product, the Luminarity Product Data Intelligence. It automatically calculates manufacturing costs with high precision and directly within the 3D CAD system. The CostChecker NxG leverages Luminarity’s Costing Intelligence. Instead of time-consuming Bottom-UP calculations that require a great deal of time and even more expertise, the CostChecker NxG delivers reliable cost forecasts in a matter of seconds. The result: significantly greater cost certainty. Company-wide. Automated.

From Reactive to Proactive Cost Control
The CostChecker NxG shifts cost control from a reactive to a proactive discipline. Reactive means that you don’t know what the product cost until it has been fully developed and manufactured - at a point, when nothing can be changed anymore. The CostChecker NxG makes it possible to answer the question: “What will it cost and how can we still influence that now?” at any time. This is a strategic advantage, especially in industries with intense competitive pressure and tight margins: Those who identify cost drivers early, can take targeted countermeasures.
What Does This Mean For Businesses?
-
Savings in time and resources result in substantial cost savings
-
Not having to calculate costs outside the 3D CAD system results in significantly more speed
-
A better basis for decision-making in product development
-
Substantially less effort required for post-calculation
-
A better basis for decision-making in design
The Luminarity Costing Intelligence, integrated into the CostChecker NxG, is transforming engineering. Cost transparency in projects increases automatically, as CostChecker NxG is able to calculate the costs of new components overnight.
