Less time quoting. More time making parts.
Kunstruct picks the request up wherever it arrives, builds the model from the drawing, checks manufacturability, plans the job on your machines and tooling, and prices every quantity. When something needs a person, it takes the question to whoever owns the answer, wherever they already talk, and nothing goes to the customer until it has been signed off.
Runs in Autodesk Fusion with the inbox, chat and drive your shop already uses · Other CAD platforms in developmentIt runs on the systems your team already has.
The panel lives in Autodesk Fusion. The RFQ comes out of the inbox you already watch. The questions arrive in the chat your people already use. The quote folder is on your drive. Nobody learns a new system.

Your shop, your numbers. Machines, tooling, material prices, rates and margins come from your shop profile, so two shops quoting the same part get different prices, because they should. Nothing is pooled across shops and your files are never used to train models.
Product names and logos belong to their owners and indicate compatibility, not endorsement. The demos on this page were built in Autodesk Fusion with Outlook, Teams and OneDrive.Your IP stays yours.
Your tenant, your drive, your CAD
The panel runs inside Autodesk Fusion on your workstation. The quote folder is on your OneDrive. The Teams bot is installed in your own Microsoft 365 tenant by your admin, who can remove it at any time.
Your data is never training data
Files are processed for your quote and nothing else. No training on customer data, no pooling across shops, and your own history stays in your environment.
Built for controlled work
For export-controlled programs the pipeline keeps drawings on the workstation and the inference endpoint is pluggable, so a US-hosted government cloud can be used when the work requires it.
One quote request, in to out, in four steps.
Kunstruct does the reading, modeling, planning and pricing, about ten minutes of its own time on the run shown here. Your people make the calls that need a person, and nothing goes to the customer until they sign off.
Picks up the quote request wherever it arrives
An email with a drawing and an RFQ sheet, a website form, a customer portal. Kunstruct reads the request, acknowledges the buyer, and opens a quote folder on your drive with everything in it.
Most tools speed up one step. Kunstruct runs the whole loop.
An AI plug-in inside your CAM makes toolpaths faster. A quoting portal gives you a system of record. Neither reads the drawing, asks your people, checks the plant, or waits for a signature. Kunstruct does all of it, where the work already happens.

Send the quote with a second price: the part as drawn, and the part if they take your changes.
Your estimator already knows which features make a part expensive, and which tolerances nobody needed. Kunstruct puts that in the quote itself: the price as drawn, and a cheaper price if the customer accepts the changes, each one costed from your own rates and tooling. The buyer gets a reason to come back to you instead of shopping the drawing around.
KAI-1002 HOUSING, SENSOR, a Kunstruct sample. Real engine, real Fusion, costs from an example shop profile, history from sample records.
Pocket corners at R.030, 1.00 in deep, so the only cutter that fits has to reach 16 times its diameter. Four mounting holes at .300 in, which is not a drill size.
Corners opened to R.170 so a stocked 1/4 in end mill arcs through, holes to 5/16. Re-check comes back clean.
Saves About $1,100 across the lot of 50 at the example shop's rates, and about 40 percent of the cycle time on the corners. No long-reach cutter to buy.
In 2016 this shop broke two cutters on the first article of a sister part and asked the customer to open the same corners from R.030 to R.125. The change order came back approved.
