For precision manufacturers · RFQ → Quote → PPAP
The first quote usually wins. Be first.
Your customer sends every RFQ to four or five shops. The first solid quote usually takes the order. PXL Kraft reads the drawing, checks it against your machines, prices it with your own rates and drafts the full PPAP file. Three weeks of engineering work, done in an afternoon.

PPAP documents drafted
18 of 18
Dimensions ballooned
Every single one
Numbers invented
Zero. Ever.
One drawing, five steps, no retyping.
Upload the drawing
A clean PDF or a forty-year-old scan. A DXF or a phone photo. PXL Kraft reads them all.
Every dimension, ballooned
Dimensions, tolerances, threads and GD&T. Each one is found, numbered and pinned to the drawing. Nothing is missed. Nothing is retyped.
Checked against your machines
Every tolerance gets an answer. Which machine holds it. Which gauge measures it. What has to go outside. All before you commit to a price.
Costed with your formulas
Material, process, overheads and tooling, at your own rates, on your own break-up sheet. Not a black box.
PPAP file, drafted
All 18 documents, written into your customer's own workbook. Your team uploads the evidence and gives the approval. The system never invents either.
Everything between the RFQ and the first good part, handled.
Universal drawing ingest
Vector PDF, old scans, DXF, photos, multi-sheet packs. If a person can read it, PXL Kraft can.
Autonomous ballooning
Every characteristic found, classified and numbered. Balloons never collide, and numbers stay stable across revisions.
Feasibility per machine
Each tolerance is checked against a machine you actually own, with a gauge and a make-or-outsource call.
Component Memory
Before quoting, it searches every part you have made before. Similar geometry, what it cost, what went wrong.
Planning & costing to your norms
Routing on your live machine model, costed on your own break-up sheet: material, process, overheads and tooling.
PPAP dossier
All 18 documents, Level 1 to 5, written into the customer's own workbook with macros preserved.
The same work. The same rigour. Minus two weeks.
Every RFQ starts the same way, and it is the same 200 hours every time. PXL Kraft skips none of it. It just does not need the fortnight.
The manual way
2–3 WEEKS / PART- DAY 01–03An engineer hand-balloons the drawing, retyping every tolerance into a spreadsheet.
- DAY 04–06Each tolerance is checked against tribal knowledge of what the machines can hold.
- DAY 07–09Routing built by hand. Machine-hour rates chased across three departments.
- DAY 10–12The cost break-up sheet is filled in, re-checked, argued over, re-checked again.
- WEEK 3+If the job is won: 18 PPAP elements assembled by hand, in the customer's format, under deadline.

Your engineer reviews and approves, instead of retyping
PXL Kraft drafts engineering judgement. It never invents evidence.
An AI that fabricates a Cpk is worse than no AI at all. So the boundary is architectural, not a policy note: evidence can only enter the system by a person uploading it, and nothing ships until a person releases it.

DRAFT BY DEFAULT
Every document stays DRAFT until a named quality reviewer approves it.
COVERAGE GATE
No sheet is approved until balloon coverage passes, or a reviewer records a disposition.
FULL AUDIT TRAIL
Every action, human or machine, timestamped and attributed. Exportable.
The gap between those two stamps is a human decision.
It always will be.
Start with a pilot. Keep it because the numbers hold.
Enterprise software priced like enterprise software: on scope, not seats. Every engagement starts with your real drawings and your real cost sheets.

The demo policy
Bring your ugliest drawing.
A forty-year-old scan. A phone photo of a fax. A six-sheet pack with hand-written revisions. If PXL Kraft can’t read it, the demo ends early. That’s the deal.
