Consistent quoting for shops with multiple machines
Use one quoting system for shops running multiple cutting methods, with the right rates and rules applied every time.
Support laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting
Apply separate pricing rules for each machine
Quote mixed-production shops with confidence
%20(1).avif)
Built for shops with more than one machine
Before
Switching between spreadsheets and rate sheets
Re-entering rates or toggling settings job by job
Different estimators applying different assumptions
Missing costs when the wrong machine logic gets used
Double-checking which process the job should run on
After
One place to manage how each machine is priced
The right rules applied based on the selected method
Consistent pricing regardless of who builds the quote
Clear visibility into what’s driving time and cost
Faster quoting with fewer manual checks
How multiple cutting technologies work in Tempus Tools
Set up
Define each cutting technology in Tempus Tools and assign its own rate tables, speeds, and pricing rules, making long-term pricing easier to manage as your shop grows.
Upload
Upload 2D files, 3D models, or PDFs as usual. Tempus Tools uses the correct machine rules when calculating time, material, and cost.
Select
Choose the cutting method per job or per part. Tempus Tools applies the correct machine behavior automatically.
Generate
Quotes reflect real production assumptions, including machine-specific time, material use, and cost.
Everything you need to quote across cutting technologies
Tempus Tools lets you manage multiple cutting methods in one system, so every quote reflects how the job will actually be produced.
Machine-specific configuration
Create separate rate tables per machine, with clearly defined speeds, rates, and rules that stay easy to manage over time.
Per-part cutting method selection
Apply different cutting technologies within the same quote when needed, without manual recalculation.
Accurate time and cost behavior
Quotes reflect how each machine actually cuts parts, helping protect margins and avoid surprises.
Shared quoting logic
Once machines are configured, every estimator works from the same production rules.
Single quoting interface
Use the same files, workflow, and tools across all cutting technologies.
A simpler way to quote mixed-production work
Tempus Tools helps shops price faster, stay consistent, and avoid costly mistakes when production options vary.
One quoting flow for different methods
Pricing that reflects real production costs
Fewer manual checks and rework
Why fabricators use Drawing Doctor
"Having all the right measurements reduces the risk of errors. It makes a big difference knowing the information going to the shop floor is correct and complete."

"Tempus Tools has been one of the smoothest and most intuitive programs I’ve ever used. This meant I could implement it straight away and start quoting for orders."

“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.”

“I like that my laser machine operator and I can get an accurate idea of material usage, time, labour, and other relevant data for each job – and it greatly reduces the risk of human error, because Tempus Tools is a rules-based program.”
