From concept to quotation and CAD

Concepts in hours.
Quotes. CAD. Drawings.

Frame, drive, kinematics and guarding recalculate the moment a requirement changes. The checked concept then becomes the basis for a quotation, transfers into CAD — especially Onshape — and can produce technical drawings directly when required.

01 / EXAMPLES

Five assemblies.
Each built in hours.

A machining centre, a filling and labelling line, a drive unit and a gearbox — every assembly is a parametric model with real geometry and running kinematics. Change the dimensions, start the motion, check the result.

01

5-axis machining centre

A benchtop machine with a trunnion table: X, Y and Z, the A swivel and the C rotation can be driven live, the enclosure door opens, and both workpiece and tool follow the configuration.

  • Bed 640–820 × 600–780 mm, column 260–360 mm
  • A axis ±110°, C axis 0–360°, trunnion 140–190 mm
  • Tool ⌀ 3–16 mm, stick-out 40–110 mm
Open example →
02

Rotary filling and capping monobloc

A filling monobloc for bottled beverages: valve count, pitch circle and bottle format are parameters. Guarding and cladding can be removed, and the filling and capping cycle runs station by station.

  • 8–20 filling valves on a 700–1600 mm pitch circle
  • Bottles ⌀ 60–110 mm, height 180–400 mm
  • Machine plate 900–1400 mm, conveyor 3.6–6.6 m
Open example →
03

Bottle labelling machine

A self-adhesive labeller on a hinged-belt conveyor. Bottle format, label height and belt length are parameters; guarding and control cabinet can be switched off, and the labelling cycle runs as an animation.

  • Bottles ⌀ 60–120 mm, height 150–400 mm
  • Label height 40–180 mm, reel ⌀ 200–400 mm
  • Belt 1.8–3.6 m, working height 850–1150 mm
Open example →
04

E-MTB mid-drive with eCVT

A power-split planetary set acting as a continuously variable gearbox: cadence and MG1 speed set the ratio. The housing can be shown as a section model and the unit driven into an exploded view.

  • Planetary module 1.1–1.35 mm, stator stack 22–30 mm
  • Chainring 30–38 teeth, crank 160–180 mm
  • Cadence 50–110 rpm, MG1 −200…+300 rpm
Open example →
05

Bevel gear differential

Pinion, crown wheel, spider gears and side gears as complete kinematics: straight running, cornering with an adjustable speed split and a blocked wheel all run as animations. The housing opens at the press of a button.

  • Input flange ⌀ 130–200 mm, wheel flange ⌀ 150–230 mm
  • Axle shafts 340–540 mm, pinion speed 30–300 °/s
  • Cornering with a 0–60 % speed split

02 / FROM SPECIFICATION TO QUOTATION AND CAD

Design once.
Use every output.

The parametric model does not stop at a visual concept. The checked configuration becomes the common basis for the quotation, the CAD model and — when required — the technical drawing set.

01SET UP THE CONCEPT

Envelope, axes, strokes and loads go in as parameters — the assembly follows from them, not the other way round.

02VALIDATE THE VARIANTS

Dimensions, drives and attachments can be swept; installation space and collisions show up immediately on the moving model.

03CREATE THE QUOTATION

The selected configuration supplies quantities, bill of materials and technical scope for a consistent quotation instead of copying data by hand.

04CONTINUE IN ONSHAPE

Transfer the concept into CAD — especially Onshape — and generate technical drawings directly whenever the project needs them.

RESULT FOR SALES AND ENGINEERING

One checked model from concept to quotation and CAD.

Sales quotes from a technically checked configuration; engineering continues with the same geometry and data instead of starting again from a sketch.

  • Quote-ready scope, BOM and quantities
  • CAD handover with Onshape as the primary path
  • Technical drawings generated directly on demand

03 / FROM ENGINEERING PRACTICE

From a parameter
to quote-ready CAD.

confBuild builds machines as connected assemblies. Change one dimension and frame, drive, cladding and bill of materials follow — creating a consistent basis for the quotation, Onshape handover and technical drawings.

04 / CAD-KERNEL

Not a render mock-up.
Real parametric
geometry.

The confBuild CAD kernel recalculates the assembly from parameters and design rules — with real fillets, bores, standard parts and gear teeth. Not an image catalogue, but geometry that goes into manufacturing.

Exploded view of the main assemblies
01

Deterministic

The same parameters reliably produce the same geometry.

02

Assembly-aware

Parts and attachments stay connected through product rules.

03

Quotation and CAD-ready

BOM and technical scope support the quotation; geometry transfers into Onshape and technical drawings when required.

04

Browser-native

Interactive 3D geometry without a local CAD installation.

05 / COMPONENTS THE TEAM KEEPS REUSING

Built once.
Usable by everyone.

A parametric component — gearbox, axis, fixture — is available to every designer in the browser: enter your own dimensions, create the commercial handover, and continue with the matching geometry in CAD. No maintained variant files.

01

Parametrise the component

A part is described once with its design rules instead of being maintained across twenty variant files.

02

Publish it to the team

A link is enough: colleagues, suppliers and customers open the component in the browser.

03

Pull the variant you need

Everyone enters their own dimensions and gets exactly the matching version.

04

Take it into quotation and CAD

The selected variant feeds the quotation and transfers into Onshape or another CAD workflow; technical drawings can be generated directly.

Your rules, visually explained.
The diagram shows how parameters become a checked concept — and what carries on into CAD, bill of materials and manufacturing.

06 / MORE THAN A QUICK PREVIEW

A tool for
engineering.

Concept, quotation, CAD handover and manufacturing documents come off the same parametric model — from the first draft to delivery.

01◇

Check concepts faster

Installation space, kinematics and order of magnitude are settled on day one instead of after the first CAD week.

02↗

Variants without remodelling

One parameter change produces the new version — including attachments and bill of materials.

03⌁

Share components

Colleagues, suppliers and customers open the component in the browser, with no CAD workstation.

04◎

From quote to Onshape

BOM and scope drive the quotation; the selected model continues into Onshape and, when required, directly into technical drawings.

07 / FOCUSED REMOTE PILOT

One part.
Clear scope.

01

Pick a part family

We take a component that gets redrawn in variants over and over at your place.
