ARCNM Community by ARCNM
ARCNM is a manufacturing cost engine. Connect it, and Claude can price a part, explain what drives its cost and compare your options, with every figure traced to the physics that produced it.
Ask Claude to:
• Price a part: start a calculation on a part in your ARCNM workspace, or upload a STEP file or PDF drawing (in Claude Code, straight from disk), and get its cost at 10 lot sizes from 1 to 2,500
• Explain a calculation: material, setup, cycle time, machine and overhead, with the biggest cost drivers ranked
• Read the process plan: operations, machines and cycle times, through to heat treatment, coating and welding
• Compare two designs, two lot sizes or two costing environments, and see where the difference comes from
• Check your remaining calculation quota before starting a run
One engine for the whole shop floor: 54 operation types and 26 machine classes, from CNC milling and turning to sheet metal, wire EDM, grinding, injection moulding and metal printing. 38 heat treatments and 37 coatings are read straight off the drawing, and 22 manufacturability checks flag problems before the first chip.
Your numbers, not ours. Costing environments hold your machines, rates and overheads, and a handful of known costs calibrates the engine to your plant, supplier or region. The physics stays untouched. ARCNM never trains on your data.
What you need: an ARCNM account. The Free plan includes 10 calculations a month, no card required. You sign in once with your ARCNM account, and Claude sees only your own organisation's data. Reading results costs nothing; starting a calculation uses your quota, so Claude asks before it runs one. Billing, team and account settings stay in the ARCNM web app.
