Instant pricing

Real pricing from real cut-ready files.

Customers can upload suitable cutting files, select material and thickness, confirm quantity, and get pricing without waiting through a long estimating chain.

The instant calculator is for clean DXF, DWG and vector PDF files with real cut lines. A photo, screenshot or JPEG saved as a PDF is still an image, so it needs file prep or quote review before it can be cut.

If the job includes complex routing, grooves, engraving, fabrication, painting, welding or 3D printing, send it through the quote path for review.
