Dashnode is an AI-powered CNC costing software built to replace slow, manual, expert-dependent costing processes. Instead of relying on toolpaths or complex CAM setups, Dashnode reads STEP and STP files directly and generates accurate machining logic for milling, turning, and turn-mill parts — all within seconds.

The platform provides instant costing, bulk configuration, and automatic DFM insights, while allowing complete customization of machine hour rates, material costs, setup assumptions, batch logic, and markups. Every cost is fully transparent, with a breakdown shops can trust and share with customers.

Designed for manufacturers, job shops, Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers, and sourcing teams, Dashnode helps teams respond faster to RFQs, standardize costing across locations, and reduce dependency on senior estimators. It’s fast, accurate, explainable, and secure — a modern costing engine built for real machining, not guesswork.
