Laser quote cockpit

Build the quote path from shop rate, material exposure, laser cycle, and export-ready assumptions.

LaserCalc Pro is a static estimating workbench: run browser-side calculators, check reference tables, export worksheets, and use the shared Formzero intake only when a review or sourcing follow-up is needed.

Local calculation

Normal calculator work stays in the browser.

Static deployment

No account, admin panel, or site database.

Formzero follow-up

Used for contact, downloads, and sourcing requests.

Workflow status

Quote path

Each step opens the tool that owns that assumption, so the quote record stays easy to inspect before export or sourcing follow-up.

  1. 1Build shop rateSet the hourly cost baseline before margin is added.
  2. 2Check material/utilizationConfirm sheet use, scrap, nesting, and material allocation.
  3. 3Run laser quoteCalculate cutting, pierce, gas, labor, overhead, and price.
  4. 4Export/report or sourcing requestUse the PDF/report path, worksheets, or the shared Formzero inquiry flow.

Start with the quoting tools.

View all calculators

Quote core

Laser Cutting Calculator

Estimate material, cutting time, pierce time, assist gas, setup, overhead, margin, and PDF output.

Cost floor

Shop Hourly Rate

Build the shop cost floor from labor, machine ownership, power, maintenance, and overhead.

Material check

Material Utilization

Check sheet count, nesting utilization, scrap value, and layout-driven material exposure.

Assumption tables

Reference Tables

Use assist gas, cutting speed, material cost, power, kerf, and parameter tables as assumptions.

Cost floor

Shop hourly rate

Labor, machine ownership, power, maintenance, overhead.

Material path

Sheet and scrap check

Material price, utilization, sheet count, recoverable scrap.

Laser cycle

Cut, pierce, setup

Cycle-time assumptions stay visible before margin.

Handoff

Report or sourcing brief

Export locally, then use Formzero only when follow-up is needed.

Reference layer

Use tables as assumptions, not hidden promises.

The reference section gives estimators a place to inspect material, gas, speed, kerf, and energy inputs before those assumptions flow into a quote.

Reference

Assist Gas Reference

Pick gas assumptions and review pressure or consumption notes before quoting.

Reference

Power Consumption

Check machine power assumptions for energy and hourly-rate calculations.

Reference

Cutting Speeds

Compare speed ranges by material and thickness, then calibrate with your own shop data.

FAQ

Calculator workflow questions

Short answers about how the static tools, exports, and shared Formzero path work.

No account is required. The public site is static, and calculator work can be done without a database-backed profile.

The calculators use transparent formulas and editable assumptions. Results are estimates, so use your own shop rates, material prices, gas agreements, and machine data before relying on a quote.

Export paths are designed for quote review, internal records, and worksheet handoff. Gated downloads and inquiry follow-up use the shared Formzero flow.

Normal calculator inputs stay in the browser. Data is only sent when you intentionally submit a contact, download, sourcing, or calibration form.

Start with the shop hourly rate, check material utilization, then run the laser cutting calculator with the assumptions you want shown in the final report.

Use them as a structured estimate and assumption record, then validate critical figures against your shop data, supplier pricing, and job requirements.

The static site is built for current desktop and mobile browsers. Complex quoting work is easiest on a desktop or tablet because the forms and tables are dense.
