The shop's controls

Your rates. Your minimums.

  • Materials & thicknesses. What you stock, and what each costs.
  • Machine rates & setup. Laser and press brake, including brake setup shared across parts with the same bend.
  • Margins. A global margin, with per-material overrides.
  • Quantity breaks. How price per part drops as quantity goes up.
  • Minimum order. Applied to the quote total, so small jobs still pay their way.
  • Inches or millimetres. Customers see their own units; the shop works in its own.

Questions

What files can customers upload?

DXF and STEP files.

Who sets the prices?

The shop. Materials and thicknesses, machine rates, setup, margins, quantity breaks and the minimum order are all set in the admin.

Are the numbers on this page real?

No. The example above uses made-up rates so you can see how a price is put together. Your quotes use your shop's rates.
