Sheet Metal Quoting Software That Calculates Every Part Correctly
Automatic nesting, material optimization, bend deductions and laser cutting time estimates based on your actual setup. Every part calculated the same way, every time.
Quotation Factory provides automated quoting software specifically built for sheet metal and laser cutting operations. It performs automatic sheet nesting, calculates laser cutting time from machine parameters, applies bend deductions using K-factors and tooling configurations, and matches materials from your catalog. The platform supports flatbed laser, punch, plasma and combination machines.
Trusted by sheet metal manufacturers across Europe
Sheet metal quoting is slower than it needs to be.
Nesting done manually
Your estimator opens each drawing, works out material usage by hand and makes a judgment call on sheet utilization. It takes time and the result changes depending on who does it.
Inconsistent pricing across estimators
One person quotes tight on material. Another adds more buffer. Neither is wrong but your margins are unpredictable and your customers notice the variation.
Bend calculations done from experience
K-factors, bend deductions, inside radii. Every estimator handles them slightly differently. On a complex part with twenty bends, small differences add up.
Volume slows everything down
When RFQ volume increases, response time drops. You either hire another estimator or customers wait longer. Neither is a good answer.
Built for sheet metal. Not adapted from something else.
Quotation Factory reads sheet metal geometry the way an experienced estimator does. Contours, piercings, bend lines, cutouts, material thickness. It nests sheets automatically, calculates bend deductions precisely and applies your exact pricing rules to every job.
Automatic Sheet Nesting
Contour and Piercing Analysis
Bend Deduction Calculations
Material Matching
Everything needed to automate sheet metal quoting.
Automated Sheet Nesting
Optimal material usage calculated for every job. Remnant logic included. Consistent results regardless of volume or estimator.
Laser Cutting Time Estimation
Machine time calculated from your actual laser cutting parameters. Contour length, piercing count, material thickness and machine speed all factored in.
Bend and Tooling Calculations
K-factor, bend radius, inside radius deductions and tooling selection handled automatically. No manual calculation per part required.
RFQ Workflow Management
Incoming requests organized, prioritized and tracked from one dashboard. Nothing falls through the cracks when volume is high.
ERP and CAM Integration
Confirmed quotes flow into your ERP as manufacturing BOMs. Flat nesting programs go directly to your laser CAM software. No re-entry.
Consistent Pricing Logic
Your pricing rules apply to every quote. Surcharges, material margins and customer segment pricing work the same whether it's a simple bracket or a complex enclosure.

Questions from sheet metal manufacturers.
Yes. Flatbed laser, punch, plasma and combination machines are all supported. Each machine type has its own calculation parameters configured to your actual equipment speeds, setup times and material rules.
