Quote & Cut Machine & Cutting Settings

Turn Real Workshop Costs Into Reliable Online Quotes

Configure machine time, material pricing, nesting rules, gas costs and markups once—then let Quote & Cut apply the same commercial logic to every customer DXF.

Pricing Built Around Your Workshop

Stop Quoting From Assumptions
Start Pricing From Real Production Costs

Small pricing gaps become expensive across hundreds of parts. Quote & Cut combines machine time, sheet usage, gas, handling and margin rules in one repeatable calculation, helping every online quote reflect how your business actually cuts and charges.

Product Demo

See Machine & Cutting Settings in Action

Watch how Quote & Cut is configured with a machine hourly rate, full-sheet handling cost, Full Sheet, Prorated or Straight Cut Off material pricing, low-utilisation uplifts, nesting gaps, markups, minimum prices and hourly gas costs. Then see the administrator diagnostics explain how those values build a live customer quotation.

Configure the Rules Once. Apply Them to Every Quote.

Keep the commercial rules behind your laser-cutting prices in one place. Quote & Cut combines the selected material data with your machine, nesting, gas and markup settings whenever a customer requests a price.

Machine & Cutting Settings: From Workshop Costs to Customer Price

Follow the full workflow, from entering machine and sheet-level costs to selecting a material-pricing model, controlling nesting behaviour and checking the final cost breakdown through administrator diagnostics.

The Difference

From Estimator-Dependent Pricing to One Consistent Calculation

When machine time, sheet usage and overheads live in separate spreadsheets or inside one person’s head, quotes vary. Quote & Cut turns those inputs into a shared pricing system used on every online job.

How It Works

Four Steps From Cost Inputs to Defensible Online Pricing

01

Set Machine Costs

Enter the machine hourly rate and the handling cost charged for each full sheet used by a nesting job.

02

Choose Material Pricing

Select Full Sheet, Prorated Bounding Box Cost or Straight Cut Off, with optional uplifts for low sheet utilisation.

03

Add Margin & Overheads

Configure percentage and fixed markups, minimum part prices, sheet-level charges and hourly gas costs.

04

Calculate & Verify

Quote & Cut combines these settings with material cut data, then shows logged-in administrators a detailed diagnostic breakdown.

Why It Matters

Protect Margin Without Slowing Down the Customer

Customers receive fast online prices, while your business keeps control of the machine rates, material-use rules and commercial safeguards behind every result.

Feature Highlights

Everything You Need to Control Cutting Price Calculations

Real pricing controls for laser-cutting businesses, managed directly from the Quote & Cut settings page.

Machine & Handling Rates

Set the hourly laser rate and a handling charge per full sheet, so cutting time and material movement are recovered consistently.

Three Material Pricing Models

Choose Full Sheet, Prorated Bounding Box Cost or Straight Cut Off to match the way your business charges for sheet material.

Low-Utilisation Uplifts

For Prorated and Straight Cut Off pricing, add an uplift below a chosen utilisation threshold to protect against costly sheet waste.

Nesting Gap & Sheet Limits

Use each material’s configured part gap or apply one fixed sheet gap, with optional limits on the number of sheets allowed per order.

Markups, Minimums & Sheet Costs

Apply percentage and fixed per-part markups, minimum part prices, flat sheet charges and loading costs to every nesting job.

Gas Costs & Admin Diagnostics

Store hourly rates for compressed air, oxygen and nitrogen, then inspect a detailed cost and time breakdown after calculations.
