Nous n'utilisons pas d'outils de devis automatisés en ligne, car ils sont très imprécis. Les plateformes de devis en ligne reposent uniquement sur des calculs basés sur des montants de coupe et des coefficients fixes, et ne tiennent pas compte des nuances de traitement réelles, comme la déformation du matériau après le traitement thermique, les exigences de tolérance strictes, le meulage après le traitement thermique, etc. Par conséquent, les calculs de prix automatisés peuvent entraîner des inexactitudes et, en fin de compte, augmenter vos coûts.
Mais chez DEK, vous pouvez être tranquille !
Nos devis sont à la fois rentables et précis, car nous disposons d'une équipe d'ingénieurs mécaniciens professionnels qui examinent méticuleusement chaque dessin.
