Stop quoting from memory and paper—use CAD-driven pricing
Gut-feel quotes feel fast until you lose margin on cut time, material, or setup. NanoQuote replaces mental math with geometry from your customer's files.
Why manual quoting fails
Inconsistent operator to operator
The owner quotes one way, the programmer another. Customers notice when similar parts get wildly different prices.
Forgotten setup and handling
Easy to remember cut time, easy to forget programming, material load, and deburr minutes.
No audit trail
Six months later nobody remembers how you priced that repeat job—or whether you made money.
Slow responses lose jobs
Manual takeoffs take hours. Faster shops with repeatable process win the RFQ.
A repeatable quoting workflow
Start from the customer's CAD file
DXF or STEP becomes the source of truth for cut length, pierces, and part size.
Apply configured shop rates
Machine time, material, and services pull from libraries—not someone's memory.
Review the breakdown before sending
See material, machine, and service lines. Catch mistakes while the quote is still internal.
Track outcomes
Mark quotes accepted or rejected. Learn which jobs you want more of.
NanoQuote vs quoting from memory
Geometry you can defend

Frequently asked questions
Use our free DXF calculator or shop rate calculator to build defensible numbers, then move to full quotes when customers send files.
No—it encodes your rates and reads geometry so experience guides configuration, not every arithmetic step.
