Demo with sample data
Quote a sheet-metal part in seconds.
Shops that quote within a day report winning 51% of new work, against 41% for slower shops (Modern Machine Shop Top Shops survey, 2026). Most of a quote is simple math on the part. This demo does that math so your estimator can focus on the judgment calls.

How it works
- 01
Cut length, holes and bends are measured from the flat part.
- 02
Those become laser time, brake time and material cost.
- 03
Your rates and markup turn that into a price. Change the quantity and watch the price per part drop.
