Features Built for Real Fabrication Shops | Accuracy Quoting

From quote to shipment. One platform.

Accuracy Quoting isn't just quoting software. It manages the full lifecycle of a fabrication job, from the first DXF upload through production and out the door. Here's everything inside.

DXF Analysis and Extract

Upload DXF files and the platform does the measuring. Cut lengths, pierce counts, part dimensions, and material area are calculated automatically. If a customer sends a full drawing with title blocks, bend lines, or holes that don't need to be cut, use the built-in DXF extract tool to pull out just the profiles you need.

  • Auto-detect part geometry, cut lengths, and pierce counts
  • Extract cut profiles from full drawings (remove title blocks, bend lines, extra holes)
  • Part dimension and area extraction
  • Attach PDF prints and reference images to parts

Material and Machine Configuration

Set up your materials, thicknesses, and gas costs per machine once. Every quote pulls from your real pricing so estimates stay consistent no matter who builds the quote. Supports steel, aluminum, stainless, and any custom material your shop works with.

  • Configure pricing per material, thickness, and machine
  • Steel, aluminum, stainless, and custom materials
  • Configurable markup percentages
  • Machine rate and consumable cost settings

Weldment and Assembly Costing

Group laser-cut parts into assemblies and add structural profiles like tube, angle, and flat bar with built-in cut lists. Pull in DXF cut parts directly from the same quote so material costs stay linked. Add assembly labor, secondary operations, and produce detailed cost breakdowns for complex fabrication jobs.

  • Group cut parts into multi-part weldments
  • Link quoted DXF parts directly into assemblies
  • Structural profile cut lists (tube, angle, flat bar, channel, etc.)
  • Add assembly labor and secondary operations
  • Full cost breakdown per assembly

Work Orders and Job Management

Convert an accepted quote into a work order and everything the job needs comes with it: cut files grouped by material and thickness, structural cut lists, and labor hours. Work orders have a dedicated tablet and phone view, so when a print or STEP file gets revised the floor sees the current version within seconds — nobody cuts to last week's drawing.

  • One-click quote to work order conversion
  • Cut files grouped by material and thickness, with one-click DXF download
  • Tablet and phone view for the shop floor
  • Revised prints and STEP files reach the floor in seconds
  • Printable packing slips

Production Queue

Work orders tell you what to build. The production queue tells you where it is. Every job lands on a live station board: cutting, forming, fabrication, finishing, shipping, plus any station you add yourself (and a tube cutting station with the CNC Tube Cutting module). Operators mark pieces done and advance them to the next station from a tablet on the floor. Parts arrive grouped the way the work is actually staged: by material and thickness at the laser, by color at powder coat, by customer at shipping.

  • Live station boards with part previews, quantities, due dates, and machine assignment
  • Mark pieces done and advance them station to station, including partial batches
  • Lay out your shop's routing once — name your stations, set the order, assign machines
  • Parts grouped by material and thickness, color, or customer depending on the station
  • Flag recuts from the floor with a reason so nothing gets quietly re-run

Shipping with Proof of Delivery

Create shipments directly from work orders. Capture customer signatures on delivery and attach photos of the loaded order. If something comes up later, you have a complete record of what was shipped and when it was received.

  • Create shipments from work orders
  • Capture signatures on delivery
  • Attach shipment photos
  • Complete delivery records for every job

Nesting Estimates and Job DXF Download

Nesting is included with Quoting. Get sheet layout calculations on your quotes to estimate material usage before you cut. When the job is ready for production, download every DXF in one click. Each file is automatically prefixed with thickness, material, and quantity so the filenames match exactly what was quoted. Ready for the machine.

  • Sheet layout calculations for material estimates, included with Quoting
  • One-click DXF download for the full job
  • Auto-prefixed filenames (thickness, material, qty)
  • Files ready to load directly into your machine

STEP Viewing and File Attachments

The 3D STEP viewer is included with Quoting. Open and measure STEP models (edges, faces, and points) directly in the platform without separate CAD software, on your quotes and, with Work Orders, on your work orders. Attach PDF prints and reference images to any part so your team and view-only users can see exactly what needs to be built without digging through email.

  • View and measure 3D STEP files in the browser, included with Quoting
  • Attach PDF prints to parts
  • Additional reference images per part
  • View-only users can access all attachments

Invoicing for QuickBooks® Online COMING SOON, $10/MO

Bill finished work orders in your QuickBooks Online accounting software. Needs Work Orders, because invoices are made from completed work orders.

  • Invoices made from completed work orders, priced from the quote your customer was sent, never priced again from the work order
  • Your customers matched to your QuickBooks Online customers and linked, so each invoice lands on the right account
  • Your own QuickBooks Online products and services, and each customer's payment terms
  • Tax checked against the quote. An invoice whose QuickBooks Online tax differs is held for you to look at before it goes out
  • Paid status kept in step. The Invoices page and the QuickBooks Summary show what is unpaid, overdue, and paid, checked every morning or when you press Refresh From QuickBooks
  • Invoices numbered your way: the next QuickBooks Online number, or the work order's own number (W2026-ACME-001 becomes I2026-ACME-001)
  • Sent to the right people. Contacts marked All Invoices get every invoice, the customer's PO can go on the invoice, and the ship date comes from the shipment
  • The signed shipper and any quote documents you tick (PDFs and images) attached to the invoice email

Formed Parts, Assemblies, and Tube, Straight from 3D

STEP to Flat Pattern and CNC Tube Cutting are available now, and both are included in your free trial. $7/month each, and neither requires Work Orders.

STEP to Flat Pattern ADD-ON, $7/MO 2 MONTHS FREE

Quote formed parts and whole assemblies straight from the 3D model. Drop a customer's STEP file on a quote and the app finds each part, detects the bends, and unfolds it into the flat pattern you cut. A multi-body STEP comes in as one assembly with a line per part.

  • Multi-body STEP assemblies, a line per part
  • Without CNC Tube Cutting, tube and structural members come in as simple parts named by size, so you enter their cost
  • A clean flat pattern DXF ready to cut, with every bend's angle, direction, and length listed
  • Bend lines drawn on the work order for the press brake (with Work Orders)
  • Press brake dies picked from your tooling by material thickness
  • Optionally recalculate the flat at the bend radius your own dies produce
  • Bend deductions calibrated from your own test bends when you recalculate to your tooling
  • Fix In 3D: pick the flat face and bends yourself on unusual parts
  • Update Flats From STEP after you change tooling or settings
  • Bend count and bend length feed the bending price on the quote

Add it by October 31, 2026 and your first 2 months of it are free, applied automatically.

Flat patterns are calculated, not measured. Verify a first part before every production run.

CNC Tube Cutting ADD-ON, $7/MO 1 MONTH FREE

Quote tube and structural parts cut on any CNC tube cutting machine. Parts can come straight from STEP models, and the app recognizes the tube and its size.

  • Tube cutting machines with cut speeds per tube size and an hourly rate
  • Tube in STEP assemblies priced automatically
  • Cut cost per part from cut length, pierces, and bar feed
  • Option to charge the full stock length a job consumes
  • Tube material library
