Calculator features
Machine profiles, speed-based time, itemized quotes, and saved estimates.
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.
Quote breakdown
Results step shows laser cutting (cutting, overhead, gas, markup on laser), sheet material by type and thickness, and aligned part and job totals.
Saved quotes
