Quoting plasma jobs on Crossfire and Langmuir tables
CNC plasma tables are setup-heavy and thickness-sensitive. Configure NanoQuote for Crossfire, Langmuir, and similar plasma systems so programming time and consumables show up in every quote.
Plasma quoting pitfalls
Ignoring setup and programming
Plasma jobs on hobby-to-pro tables often spend more time in CAM than under the torch.
Flat cut speed across thicknesses
1/8" plate and 1/2" plate are different machines mentally—one rate breaks both.
Consumables as an afterthought
Electrodes and nozzles add up on high-pierce-count plates.
Quoting from part area only
Plate nesting and kerf width change how many sheets you actually burn.
Set up NanoQuote for plasma
Add your table as a machine
Use usable cut area dimensions. Include torch travel limits and common sheet sizes you stock.
Separate machine and shop rates
Programming and fixture time often bill at shop rate; torch-on time bills at machine rate. NanoQuote supports both.
Per-thickness cut parameters
Store pierce time and cut speed per material/thickness combo you run regularly.
Batch services for setup
Add per-batch programming or handling fees so one-off plates do not subsidize repeat work.
Quote from DXF layers
Separate pierce layers, construction geometry, and cut paths before pricing.
Why plasma shops use NanoQuote
DXF-first workflow
Import files from Fusion, SheetCAM exports, or customer CAD without rebuilding geometry.
Service catalog
Charge setup, programming, and handling as line items—not hidden margin guesses.
Plasma use case templates
Start from plasma-specific guidance, then tune to your Crossfire or Langmuir workflow.
Customer-ready output
Share links instead of emailing DXF + spreadsheet screenshots.
Good fit for Crossfire / Langmuir owners who
