Features
Quoting
Quote your laser cutting jobs more efficiently with an easy-to-use quoting solution that the whole team can learn.
Go direct from CAD drawing to accurately calculated quote in seconds. Quick and consistent every time, no matter who calculates it.
External quoting portal
Offer your services via your website to bring in new customers, or to offer a self-service solution to selected existing customers.
Customers load in their parts to get instant pricing and can place an order and make a payment 24/7.
PDF to CAD Part extractor
Convert a vector PDF into a CAD file instantly.
No tracing, no CAD package, just click on a part and extract it as CAD for quoting.
Enter in a scale for the part and define line types as cutting, etching, folding, or information.
Tube cutting
Quote long products like tube and pipe.
Drag and drop STEP files of rectangular, square or round hollow section tubes into a quote for accurate price calculation.
Manage tube materials separately from sheet metal, including bulk editing material pricing by weight.
3D sheet metal extractor
3D models are analysed for sheet metal components which are extracted and unfolded into a quote, ready for pricing or exporting to other systems.
You can rotate and measure parts within the 3D viewer.
All fold lines, material thicknesses and quantities of components are automatically identified from the model.
File formats include STEP, SLDPRT, X_T, IPT, ASM, IGES + others.
Multiple cutting technologies
You can add all of your cutting machines easily, and it’s helpful to have the machine specifications at hand.
Your cutting technologies and the associated rate tables are broken down into individual tables and sections of the programs to make managing of the rates, speeds and overall processes easier in the long run.
secondary processes
Get accurate and consistent folding prices quickly using the built-in folding algorithm developed by specialists with decades of experience using brake presses.
Plus, create your own secondary processes like welding, powder coating, tapping, counter sinking, galvanising and linishing – whatever you can think of.
Drawing Doctor®
Upon upload of a 2D DXF or DWG file, Drawing Doctor® automatically corrects for double lines, dimensions, and small end points that are hidden in some drawings.
Resolve the most common drawing issues to produce clean CAD drawings and identify the parts customers want quoted with the Drawing Doctor® tool.
Export the resulting parts as DWG or DXF into production systems.
Part Library
Part Library allows you to save parts that you’ve produced for a customer for re-use.
Saves time on repeat orders and quotes, by dropping an existing part straight into the quote, ready to calculate, based on the latest pricing.
When a customer re-orders parts, the risk of accidentally manufacturing a slightly different part is removed because Part Library parts are unable to be edited.
Fixed price parts
Remove the need for separate pricing sheets for each customer by setting fixed prices for parts in customer part libraries.
Optionally lock the price of a part so that its unit price is set to a fixed value in all quotes.
Lock the price forever or set an expiry date. Upon expiry, a warning is shown and prices are calculated using the latest prices and rules.
Customer Central

Integrations
Export quote data as a CSV for importing into other systems.
Integrate directly with accounting systems like Xero and QuickBooks. Marking a quote as ‘invoiced’ will create a draft invoice in Xero for the matching customer, creating a new customer if they don’t already exist.
Speak to our team to request additional integrations.
Accounting documents
After creating professional quotes with thumbnails of each part, converting your quote into different statuses will generate additional order documentation.
- Quote
- Order confirmation
- Proforma invoice
- Tax invoice
Production documents
After a quote has been converted to an order, various production reports are made available for your shop floor.
- Work order summary
- Work order
- Delivery docket
- Production part labels
Parametric part library
Quickly create standard parts such as base plates, flanges and bracketry drawings from a library.
Modify the dimensions of each component, and number of holes, and the part is ready for export as CAD or for quoting and is stored in the customer’s library.
Freight calculation
Sets freight rules based on delivery location and size of parts, whether items are shipped in a cardboard box, bag, skid or pallet.
Optionally add express process charges for non-standard delivery times.
