Free PDF cutting quote

Upload a vector PDF, review the detected cut paths, group colors into production steps, and calculate a quick price before moving to reusable profiles.

  • Files are processed temporarily for this quote session and expire automatically.
  • Suitable for laser, CNC, and digital cutting workflows.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate, then refine it with saved profiles.

From cut paths to a priced quote

Upload a vector file and CutterQuote reads the geometry, groups colors into production steps, and turns it into an itemized price you can reuse.

What You Get

  • Path and fill analysis translated into practical cutting-time inputs.
  • Merged color groups with configurable tool behavior per production block.
  • Quote totals per sheet and per job with clear setup and load breakdowns.
  • Repeatable pricing logic to reduce manual quoting variance across projects.

How It Works

  1. 1 Upload a PDF file and optionally define unit assumptions and DPI.
  2. 2 Review the detected paths, lengths, and fill areas in the preview.
  3. 3 Merge color groups based on how you plan to run the job.
  4. 4 Configure tool settings such as mode, speed, passes, and scan behavior.
  5. 5 Calculate quote totals with setup, load, and quantity settings.

Accuracy and Scope

  • Best results come from clean vector artwork with consistent units and realistic machine/tool settings.
  • Generated values are planning estimates and should be validated against material behavior and machine constraints.
  • Always verify final dimensions, fit, and production readiness before manufacturing.

FAQ

Which files are supported?

The free form supports PDF analysis directly, and the backend can process SVG as well. Use clean vector files for best results.

Why are DPI and unit assumptions important?

When source files use pixel units or mixed units, DPI and unit assumptions ensure path lengths are converted accurately to millimeters.

What does color grouping change?

Grouping combines analysis colors into production groups so each merged group can use one tool setup for time and cost calculation.

Does this replace final engineering checks?

No. Treat generated values as planning support and always validate dimensions, fit, and machine constraints before production.
