Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A method for generating a manufacturing quote, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, part data from an entity, the part data corresponding to a part;
correlating, by the processor, one or more variations of the part data with an improvement to a manufacturability datum;
selecting, by the processor, at least one of the one or more variations of the part data based on the manufacturability datum to create optimized part data;
generating, by the processor, an optimized model of the part based on the optimized part data and an optimized toolpath based on the optimized part data, wherein the optimized toolpath corresponds to a first tool used to manufacture the part, wherein generating the optimized model comprises generating the optimized part data using an optimized part data machine learning model trained iteratively on correlations between the part data and the manufacturability datum, wherein the optimized part data is created by generating a first toolpath, and wherein the first toolpath is generated by training a toolpath machine learning model based on toolpath training data;

generating, by the processor, a classifier as a function of the toolpath training data using the toolpath machine learning model;
generating, by the processor, a quote for manufacturing of the part based on the toolpath training data and optimized model, wherein the quote includes a time of receipt of the manufactured part, and wherein generating the quote for manufacturing comprises calculating the time of receipt based on market milling minutes.
