Imagine quoting 3D jobs without the CAD bottleneck
Before
Paying thousands for CAD software to unfold 3D models
Spending hours manually flattening 3D models
Switching between multiple programs just to extract geometry
Losing accuracy when flattening complex assemblies
Needing a specialist just to quote a simple job
After
Unfold 3D models automatically — no CAD license required
Extract and price parts in minutes, not hours
Handle upload, unfolding, and quoting all in one platform
Every component unfolded with accurate folds, thickness, and dimensions
Any estimator can quote complex 3D jobs confidently
The simplest 3D quoting workflow you’ll ever use
Upload
Drag and drop your customer’s 3D model — Tempus Tools supports over 70 file formats.
Detect
The Extractor automatically identifies every sheet-metal component in the assembly, along with folds, thicknesses, and quantities.

Why shops love the 3D Sheet Metal Extractor
Don’t just take our word for it — see how real shops are winning more work with Tempus Tools.
“Tempus Tools saves me hours of time a month on my quoting and it’s very easy to use, even for someone like me that isn’t a tech geek. It enables me to accurately quote for my own parts I laser cut and take out the guesswork.”

“Since implementing Tempus Tools, we’ve found it is much more accurate, reliable, and fast. Instead of two people quoting full time, we can now have one person do a better job in a quarter of the time.”
