Smart Solutions for Manufacturing Estimating
Smart CutQuote is manufacturing estimating software built for laser cutting, profile cutting, plasma cutting, and waterjet businesses. Generate accurate quotes faster, reduce manual calculations, and improve pricing with automated cost estimation.
Built for Laser, Waterjet and Plasma
Fast DXF & DWG Processing
Reduce Quoting Time
DXF and DWG remain the most common formats in laser cutting. Smart Cut Quote enables even non technical staff to import, review and quote customer drawings quickly, helping reduce quoting time and freeing experienced programmers for higher value tasks. Built in drawing repair tools help identify and correct common CAD issues before quoting.
From 3D Model to Quote
Quote Directly from 3D
Many manufacturers now receive 3D STEP files from customers. Smart Cut Quote supports both individual parts and complete assemblies, automatically extracting material, thickness and bending information while generating flat patterns for quoting. This reduces manual data entry, improves accuracy and helps produce consistent quotes.
Automated Bend Costing
Smarter Bending Estimates
Accurately costing bending operations often requires experienced personnel who understand setup times, material thickness, part size and handling requirements. Smart Cut Quote automates these calculations using configurable rules, helping produce consistent quotes, reduce estimating time & minimise costly pricing errors.
Standardise Your Quoting
Quote with Confidence
Your best estimator should not be the only person who can prepare accurate quotes. Smart Cut Quote stores your company’s pricing, machine rates, bending rules, auxiliary operations and costing knowledge in one central database, allowing any authorised team member to prepare fast, consistent and accurate quotes.
Key features that help your team quote with confidence.
Professional looking reports that reflect your brand.
Produce professional quotes and reports with your company logo, business colours and personalised notes, creating a consistent presentation for every customer and job.
Quote Directly from 3D STEP Files
Supports 3D STEP files, allowing users to import and estimate parts and assemblies accurately and quickly for faster quoting and improved workflow efficiency.
The latest version of DXF and DWG imports
Supports the latest versions of DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) and DWG (AutoCAD Drawing) formats, allowing users to import a variety of design files.
A detailed analysis of the cost breakdown
The software provides a detailed analysis of the cost breakdown, allowing users to determine which factors affect the final estimate. A cost optimization and pricing adjustment can be made based on this information.
Client management
The software includes features for managing client information, such as contact information, project history, and preferences. As a result, a comprehensive database can be maintained, and client communications can be simplified.
Cost Every Manufacturing Process
Smart Cut Quote allows you to add auxiliary operations such as bending, welding, powder coating, tapping, deburring and assembly, ensuring all manufacturing processes are accurately costed.
Packing and Process Sheets creation
The software creates packing and process sheets that provide laser cutting instructions. On these sheets, you’ll find details like part placement, cutting orders, and any additional processing steps that need to be performed
Material & Cutting Data Library
Update material costs while important machine data, including feed rates, piercing times and cutting parameters, supports consistent calculations for different materials and thicknesses.
Calculating the number of sheets required
The software provides nesting capabilities to automatically arrange parts on available sheets to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. Based on the nesting results, it determines the number of sheets needed.
2D CAD clean up and repair
The software includes tools for cleaning up and repairing 2D CAD files. It helps in removing errors like overlapping lines, gaps, and other errors that could affect estimation accuracy.
Parametric CAD creation
Inbuilt Parametric 2D CAD allows you to quickly create accurate drawings by entering key dimensions, helping speed up estimating and improve efficiency.
Export CSV files
The software is capable of exporting estimation data in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format, which can be easily imported into accounting software.
