Sheet Metal Quoting Software | Accuracy Quoting

Sheet metal quotes that account for every operation

Quote flat parts, bends, and finishing with your real material grades, gauge pricing, machine rates, and setup costs. Cutting, forming, hardware, and powder coat all priced on the same quote.

The problem

Sheet metal quoting is harder than it looks

Too many variables

Material grade, gauge, sheet size, cutting method, number of bends, finishing requirements. A single part can have a dozen cost factors. Miss one and your margin disappears.

Stale material pricing

Steel, stainless, and aluminum prices shift regularly. If your quotes are based on prices from last quarter, you are either overcharging and losing jobs or undercharging and losing money.

Sheet waste goes untracked

You quote the part but not the sheet area it consumes. Small parts on large sheets waste material, and that cost has to go somewhere. Most spreadsheets do not account for utilization.

The solution

Accuracy Quoting handles the complexity of sheet metal

Materials

Every grade, gauge, and sheet size configured

Set up your full material library with pricing per pound for mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and any other material you stock. Define sheet sizes for each gauge so the system can calculate how many parts fit per sheet and what the actual material cost per part is, including waste.

  • Material pricing by grade and gauge
  • Sheet size configuration
  • Sheet utilization calculation
  • Update prices globally when costs change

DXF analysis

Drop in a DXF and skip the manual measuring

Upload a DXF file for any flat part and the platform extracts cut length, pierce count, bounding dimensions, and area automatically. Use the DXF extract tool to strip title blocks, bend lines, and non-cut geometry from customer drawings so you price only the actual profile. Attach PDF prints or reference images to each part for the shop floor.

  • Auto-extract cut length, pierce count, and part area
  • Strip title blocks and bend lines from customer drawings
  • Batch upload for multi-part jobs
  • Attach PDF prints and reference images per part

Operations

Cutting, forming, and finishing in one quote

A sheet metal part rarely stops at cutting. Add forming operations with bend counts, deburring, hardware insertion, powder coating, and any custom process. Each operation carries its own cost, so you see exactly where the money goes on every part.

  • Forming with bend count and setup time
  • Multiple cutting methods (laser, plasma)
  • Finishing operations (powder coat, plating)
  • Hardware insertion and secondary ops

Key features

Purpose-built for sheet metal quoting

Material grade management

Configure pricing for mild steel, stainless, aluminum, galvanized, and any custom grade. Set prices per pound at each gauge and thickness you work with.

DXF analysis

Upload DXF files for flat parts and get cut length, pierce count, and bounding box dimensions extracted automatically. No manual measuring.

Multiple cutting methods

Configure separate rates for fiber laser, CO2 laser, plasma, and other cutting processes. Each method has its own feed rate and cost-per-inch calculation.

Bend and form costing

Add forming operations with bend counts and setup time. The system calculates press brake cost per part based on your configured rate and complexity.

Sheet utilization tracking

See how much sheet area each part consumes. Material cost is based on actual sheet usage, so waste is accounted for in every quote.

Professional quote output

Send clean, professional quotes with line item detail and quantity pricing. Convert accepted quotes to work orders and generate packing slips when jobs ship.

How it works

Three steps to an accurate sheet metal quote

1. Add your parts

Upload DXF files or enter part dimensions manually. Select the material grade, gauge, and sheet size. The system calculates material cost based on actual sheet utilization.

2. Add operations

Specify cutting method, forming with bend counts, finishing, and any secondary operations. Each is costed separately using your pre-configured rates.

3. Quote and convert

Review the full cost breakdown, apply markup, and send. When the customer approves, convert to a work order in one click with all specs carried over.

Pricing

Only pay for what your shop needs

Starts at $20/month with the base quoting platform. Add modules like work orders and nesting only when you need them. No contracts, no setup fees.

FAQ

Common questions about sheet metal quoting software

Yes. You can configure pricing for any material grade (mild steel, stainless, aluminum, etc.) at every gauge and thickness you stock. Each material carries its own price per pound and sheet dimensions.

Yes. You can set up separate machine rates and feed rates for fiber laser, CO2 laser, plasma, and other cutting processes. The system applies the correct cost based on the method you select for each part.

You can add forming as an operation on any part with a specified bend count. The system calculates forming cost based on your configured rate and the number of bends. Setup time can be factored in separately.

Yes. The system calculates how much sheet area each part consumes based on its bounding box dimensions and the sheet size you specify. Material cost reflects the actual sheet usage, not just the finished part area.

Accuracy Quoting starts at $20/month for the base quoting platform. Add modules like work orders ($7/month) only when you need them. Nesting and STEP viewing are currently free while in development. Additional quoting seats are $12/month and view-only seats are $2/month. No contracts or setup fees. Free 5-day trial included.

Most sheet metal shops are quoting within 30 minutes. Add your material grades and prices, set your machine rates and forming costs, configure your markup rules, and start building quotes.
