Processes
Every process on your floor, priced on its own physics.
A powder part is a share of a build. A milled part is set-ups and removal. A laser part is cut length and pierces. Quotometry gives every process its own estimator, settings and manufacturability rules, behind one engine and one widget.
Parts grown layer by layer, priced from what the layers really cost.
FDM / FFF printing
Extrusion time and filament, from walls, infill, supports and your printers’ real speeds.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How FDM is pricedSLA, DLP and LCD resin printing
Layer count, cured resin and the hands that wash, cure and de-support each part.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How Resin is pricedSLS polymer printing
The share of a build the part takes, plus powder, refresh rate and cool-down.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How SLS is pricedMJF and SAF printing
Build share, agents and powder, with the packing density of a real build.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How MJF is pricedMetal 3D printing (DMLS, SLM, LPBF)
Melted volume over the laser rate, recoats, gas, powder, supports and the plate cut-off.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How Metal AM is pricedPolyJet and material jetting
Model and support material by volume, matte or glossy, and tray time by layers and passes.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How PolyJet is pricedBinder jetting
Job-box share, binder, curing, and the sintering furnace for metal.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How Binder jet is pricedParts cut from stock, priced from set-ups, toolpaths and the stock itself.
CNC milling (3-axis, 3+2, 5-axis)
Stock, set-ups, removal volume and the features that slow a cutter down.
Reads STEP, mesh (reviewed)
How CNC milling is pricedCNC turning and mill-turn
Bar stock, cycle time from the turned profile, and off-axis work on live tools or a second operation.
Reads STEP, mesh (reviewed)
How CNC turning is pricedFlat parts cut and formed, priced from cut length, pierces, bends and the sheet.
Laser cutting
Cut length by material and thickness, pierce count, engraving and the sheet the parts take.
Reads DXF, SVG
How Laser is pricedWaterjet and plasma cutting
Cut speed by thickness, abrasive or consumables, and pierce time.
Reads DXF, SVG
How Waterjet is pricedSheet metal fabrication
Flat pattern, cut, bends and the set-ups each bend needs.
Reads CAD, DXF with bends
How Sheet metal is pricedCNC routing
2.5D toolpaths in sheet goods, priced by path length, depth and the board.
Reads DXF, SVG, CAD
How Routing is pricedParts made in a mould, priced from the tool and the shots it makes.
Injection moulding
A budgetary price, always reviewed: the tool, amortised over the run, plus resin and cycle time per shot.
Reads STEP, mesh
How Injection is pricedVacuum casting
A master, a silicone mould good for a short run, and the resin per casting.
Reads Mesh, STEP
How Casting is pricedOne process at a time, against a real shop’s data.
A process is added when it can be priced as well as the shop’s own estimator would price it, and not before.
- Live13 processes
FDM, Resin, SLS, MJF, Metal AM, PolyJet, Binder jet, CNC milling, CNC turning, Laser, Waterjet, Injection, Casting: priced end to end, each with its own estimator, DFM checks, calibratable settings and a shipped configuration. Metal parts, injection moulding (a budgetary estimate) and CNC from a mesh go to the shop’s review by default.
- Not builtSheet metal fabrication and CNC routing
Bends, flat patterns and routed 2.5D work are not priced yet. A flat blank can already be priced as a laser, waterjet or plasma part from its DXF or SVG.
- Not builtCustom processes
A formula-only process for anything else the shop runs.
Every process is a plug-in.
The geometry is analysed one time
Volume, area, cross-sections, overhangs, walls, features. Stored immutable, so every process prices from the same facts.
The process predicts its resources
Grams, machine seconds, labour seconds, consumables and build share, from the shop’s own machine and material settings.
One pricing pipeline for all
Rates, minimums, quantity breaks, lead times, rules and rounding: the same versioned configuration model for every process.
