About Gelso AG / step2real
Gelso AG, headquartered in Regensdorf, was founded in 1996 and has since been active in the production and delivery of drawing parts for the German-speaking mechanical engineering industry. With the step2real platform, the company has digitized part of its business process: customers upload a STEP file, immediately receive a parts cost calculation based on concrete cost parameters of verified production partners, and can request a binding quotation with one click. Sheet metal parts, milled parts, turned parts and closed profiles are calculated automatically; welding and assembly work, bulk material and purchased parts are calculated manually by the technician team. Heat treatment (hardening, annealing, tempering) and surface treatment including glass bead and ceramic blasting are offered as calculable additional processes. Customers include developers and buyers from mechanical and plant engineering as well as mechatronics; delivery of 3.1 material inspection certificates is possible.

Processes and Services
Sheet metal parts
Automatically calculated sheet metal parts based on weight, cutting simulation, number of bends, tolerance class and surface treatment.
Milled parts
Automatically calculated milled parts based on weight, milling/turning time simulation and the selected tolerance class.
Turned parts
Automatically calculated turned parts with raw material costs by weight and simulated machining time.
Closed profiles
Automatically calculable closed profile parts, integrated into the platform since 2021.
Laser-cut tubes
Tube parts from manual laser cutting are calculated as a separate material group.
Welded assemblies
Welding work is calculated and accompanied manually by the technician team.
Assembly
Assembly work is calculated manually, as a step toward fully calculable mechatronic assemblies.
Glass bead blasting
Surface finish optionally selectable, among other things for stainless steel components.
Ceramic blasting
Surface finish optionally selectable, among other things for stainless steel components.
Heat treatment (hardening, annealing, tempering)
Integrated into the calculation as a calculable process since Release 7.
Purchased parts
Components such as bearings, sensors or drive elements are calculated and/or procured manually.
