Custom jobs and your own products in one place
Add your products (cake topper, sign, box, keychain) with the DXF and the calculated cost. When you cut a custom job, the open areas in the sheet can be filled with those products, and their stock goes up without using extra sheet.
Party order with a tight deadline
Before saying yes to “300 favors for Saturday,” check the machine queue: the system shows when it frees up and whether the job fits by the date.
Let your customer self-quote
In your branded online store, the customer uploads the file, picks material, color, and quantity, and sees price and lead time instantly. You just approve and produce.

Price, lead time, and material under control — in one go.
FAQ
Does it work with a diode laser?
Yes. You add the machine with the speeds it uses for each material and thickness; the calculation is the same.
Can I quote engraving only, without cutting?
Yes. Engraving is its own operation, with its own speed and pricing, and can be quoted alone or together with cutting.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. It’s a 7-day trial with full access and no card. You upload your own DXF files, add your materials, and see the calculated price before deciding.
