Machine Time From Cut Length and Pierces
Enter the cut length per part and your cut speed, the number of pierces and the seconds each one takes, and any engraved area with its engrave rate. Customakr turns that into machine time and prices it at your laser's real hourly cost: what it cost, how long it lasts, maintenance, consumables such as lenses, and the power it draws.
Assist gas is a cost per hour you enter, and handling per part covers loading, unloading and sorting.
Sheet Material and Nesting
Material is priced from the sheet: its cost, its area, the area of one part and how efficiently your parts nest. A small part on an expensive sheet carries its share of the sheet and the offcut, so thin margins on acrylic, plywood or stainless show up before you send the quote.
CO2, Fiber, Diode and Waterjet
Separate quote types cover CO2 cutting, fiber cutting, and engraving and marking, and your machine list can include tabletop and diode lasers. Waterjet uses the same cutting calculation with its own starting figures and a cost per hour for abrasive, water and power.
- Setup time charged once per job
- Rush premiums, minimum order charges and design fees
- Batch pricing on Pro for runs of signs, tags or parts
- Extra steps such as sanding, painting or assembly as workflow operations
Read Cut Length From Your Files
On Pro and Team, Customakr reads DXF drawings for cut length, contours and size, and times laser, plasma and waterjet G-code programs, counting pierces from each start of cutting. Files are read on your device and not uploaded.
