Machine Learning applied to 3D CAD data to predict production costs, secure margins, and accelerate time-to-market.

In the Luxury industry, the frantic cycle of seasonal collections demands extreme development speeds. Accurately estimating the cost price of metal accessories during the design phase is a complex challenge. This lack of initial visibility impacts financial planning and negotiations with strategic suppliers.
We deployed a Machine Learning model capable of analyzing 3D CAD design files, price history, and material composition. This solution automates cost engineering by instantly predicting manufacturing costs, enabling reliable decision-making before a new product is even launched.
The main challenge was integrating heterogeneous data, particularly 3D CAD design files. We developed algorithms capable of translating these complex geometries into actionable cost variables. This analytical rigor transformed an uncertain manual process into a high-performance, stable decision-making tool.
