DXF to Accurate Quote

Sound familiar?

Every fabrication shop owner knows these pain points. You're quoting between jobs, on the phone, and under pressure to get prices out fast.

Quoting takes too long

30 minutes per quote with a spreadsheet. By the time you send it, the customer found someone faster.

CutQuote: 5 seconds per file

Underpricing jobs

Gut-feel pricing means you're leaving money on the table — or worse, losing money on jobs you thought were profitable.

CutQuote: every cost calculated

Customers can't self-serve

Every quote needs a phone call or email. At 2am when a customer needs a price, your spreadsheet isn't answering.

CutQuote: customer portal 24/7 + AI Quote Inbox

Three steps. Your first quote in under 5 minutes.

1

Upload your files

Drop in DXF, DWG, or STEP files. Messy geometry, open contours, wrong layers — CutQuote handles it all automatically.

2

Set your machines and rates

Enter your laser's speed, pierce times, and hourly rates. Pre-loaded profiles for popular machines get you started instantly.

3

Send professional quotes

Branded PDFs, online acceptance, payment collection via Stripe. Your customer portal handles the rest while you're on the shop floor.

Everything you need to quote faster and win more jobs

Built from 15 years of real-world fabrication experience. Every feature exists because a shop owner needed it.

DXF Upload

Upload any DXF. We handle the mess.

Real customer files are messy — open contours, duplicate lines, wrong layers, stray geometry. Other tools reject them. CutQuote cleans them automatically and gives you an accurate quote in seconds.

  • Automatic DXF cleanup and contour repair
  • Multi-file batch upload — quote entire jobs at once
  • Layer selection with memory
  • DWG files auto-converted to DXF
  • Pierce count, rapid moves, gas consumption — all calculated

Questions? We've got answers.

Most shops are sending their first quote within 5 minutes of signing up. Enter your machine's cutting speeds and hourly rate, add your materials, and you're ready to go. We pre-load profiles for popular laser brands so you can start quoting immediately and fine-tune later.
Not at all. CutQuote reads DXF, DWG, and STEP files directly — you don't need CAD software. For STEP files, CutQuote automatically detects sheet metal, unfolds it, and identifies bends. For jobs without a file, you can enter manual shapes (rectangles, circles) and get a quote just as fast.
CutQuote uses trapezoidal velocity profile modelling — the same physics your laser controller uses — to calculate exact cutting time per part, including acceleration, deceleration, pierce times, and rapid moves. Combined with your actual material costs, gas consumption, and hourly rates, the result is a quote based on real data, not gut feel. Most customers tell us they were underpricing 20-40% of their jobs.
Yes. Every plan includes a customer portal where customers can view and accept quotes. On Pro and Business plans, customers can upload their own DXF and STEP files, see instant pricing, and submit quotes for your approval — 24/7, without a phone call. You can even embed a quote widget directly on your website (Business plan).
CutQuote covers your entire fabrication workflow. Add welding (MIG, TIG, Stick, FCAW, SAW), powder coating and wet painting, milling operations, and press brake folding — all calculated from real parameters, not flat rates. Group everything into assemblies with BOM items for a complete job cost.
No contracts. Pay monthly and cancel anytime. Annual billing gives you 25% off (3 months free), but it's entirely optional. Your 14-day free trial includes full access to every feature on your chosen plan — no credit card required to start.
Yes — on the Business plan, CutQuote includes full production management. Turn accepted quotes into job cards, track operator time with PIN-based shop floor login, schedule work across machines with a visual Gantt chart, and generate packing slips for deliveries. The AI Schedule Advisor analyses your production load and flags bottlenecks before they become problems.
CutQuote runs on secure cloud infrastructure with SSL encryption, automated daily backups, and Cloudflare protection. Your data is yours — we never share, sell, or access your commercial data. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, so we never see your credit card details.
