Step 5 · Results
Itemized Quote — Laser, Material & Markup Lines
Results step shows laser cutting (cutting, overhead, gas, markup on laser), sheet material by type and thickness, and aligned part and job totals.
Laser work expands into cutting, shop overhead, assist gas, and markup applied only to the laser subtotal. Sheet material is a separate row from bbox mass × $/kg. The same structure feeds saved estimates and client-side PDF export.
Customer-facing line structure
Results mirror the in-app breakdown: laser work expandable into cutting, overhead, gas, and markup; material on its own row; job and per-part totals stay in sync for PDF export.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Laser cutting | $184.20 |
| Cutting | $112.40 |
| Shop overhead | $38.60 |
| Assist gas | $18.20 |
| Markup (15%) | $25.40 |
| Sheet material · Mild steel 3 mm | $46.80 |
| Total | $256.40 |
Sample amounts for layout only. Markup applies to the laser subtotal (cutting + overhead + gas), not to material.
Per-part and job views
Drill into one part for minutes and dollars, or stay at job level for the total you will save or print.
Currency-aware totals
Formatting follows the currency chosen on the Machine step through results and exported PDFs.

Machine rates
Set hourly cutting rate, shop overhead, pierce time, and laser markup on step 1 — with 13 laser machine presets from 500 W to 20 kW and saved profiles per account.
Material pricing
Six common alloys, metric thickness presets, price per kilogram, scrap allowance, and assist gas — material cost from each part’s bounding box mass.
DXF for quotes
Step 3 of the five-step wizard: upload DXF, review cut length and pierce counts per part, then set quantities before results.
Cutting speeds
Chart speeds by fiber power, material, and thickness — interpolated between rows, then scaled to 90% for realistic shop feed rates.
