Sell Instant quoting
Sheet metal, tube and machining quotes in seconds
Upload a DXF, a STEP or the PDF drawing and Ferranta calculates the material with real nesting, the machine time with your speeds and every operating cost in your shop. The same drawing always gives the same price.

Ten processes, one cost engine
Not a price per kilo. Each machine calculates with its own technology: speeds by material and thickness, pierces, consumables, cycles and setup.
- Sheet metal laser cuttingKinematic time, real nesting, per-layer marking
- Tube and profile laserProfile, wall, holes and miters read from the STEP
- CNC plasmaKerf by thickness and consumables per pierce
- Oxy-fuel cuttingPreheating and multi-torch cutting
- CNC millingPasses, tools and faces of the solid
- BendingBends by thickness, length and quantity
- RollingBy thickness and longest side of the part
- Assembly weldingWeld seams derived from the assembly
- Surface finishingPainting, shot blasting, galvanizing, zinc plating, anodizing
- Shop operationsTapping, countersinking and PEM nuts
What's included
- 01Five ways to create the partUpload the CAD file, draw it in the 2D editor with 3D viewer, describe it, snap a photo of a sketch or use the PDF drawing, whose dimensions are read by AI.
- 02Eight CAD formatsDXF, DWG, STEP/STP, IGES, PDF, SVG, EPS and AI. STEP files unfold automatically: bends are counted and solids are split into separate parts.
- 03Complete assembliesBulk import from the assembly STEP and the PDF parts list: each part with its quantity, and the assembly with its stages.
- 04Drawing checkFlags open contours, duplicate lines or bends drawn as cuts before they reach the price.
- 05The most profitable machineCompares your machines for each line and suggests the one with the best margin, using its own cutting table, gas and electricity.
- 06Margin per cost itemCost, sale price and margin for material, cutting, pierces, bending, finishing and CAD/CAM, per part and for the whole quote.
- 07Instant pricing for your customersA branded quoting tool on your website, via iframe or on your own domain. Customers upload their part, see the price and place the order.
- 08Orders by emailPDF purchase orders arriving in your inbox go to a review tray and become sales orders without typing a single line.
- 09Revisions and versionsRev A, B, C… for every quote, quantity discounts, rush surcharges and customer-specific rates.
Accuracy
AI reads the drawing. Math sets the price.
We use artificial intelligence where it adds value: reading a sketch, a photo or the dimensions on a PDF. The price is never guessed by a model: it comes from the cut length, the pierces, your machine's speed for that material and thickness, the nesting on the sheet and your real costs. With the machine properly configured, the difference from actual cutting time stays below 1%.
| Kinematic cutting time | accelerations, radii and pierces, not meters × rate |
|---|---|
| Real nesting | the material the part actually uses on the sheet |
| Your costs | gas, electricity, labor, CAD/CAM and margin per cost item |
