Save Estimates, History & PDF Export
Customer name required to save; CC- draft and S2N- finalized quote numbers; history browser; client-side PDF when your plan allows.
Saved estimates snapshot breakdown and rates at save time — reopening does not silently recalculate. Browse /cost-calculator/history, duplicate from there, and export PDFs in the browser. Plan limits apply to saved quotes, PDFs, and DXF uploads.
Estimate lifecycle
Saved quotes freeze the breakdown at save time — reopening does not silently recalculate if rates changed later. Duplicate from history when you need a revised copy.
Customer name required. Draft quote numbers use a CC- prefix until finalized server-side (S2N-).
Browse past estimates at /cost-calculator/history — reopen breakdowns as saved snapshots.
Export a quote PDF client-side when your plan includes PDF export; numbers match the saved snapshot.

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.
