Field notes
The sample sheet-metal estimator exposes material, thickness, dimensions, holes, quantity, and price fields, with example rates shown for laser time, setup, and margin. The listed workflow also covers nesting, machining, and 3D printing; the Pro tier adds items such as batch quoting and PDF reports. The maker says customer drawings and quote data remain on the local PC.
