Stop tracing cut lengths by hand. Upload any DXF file and instantly get cut length, pierce count, material cost, and sell price — ready to drop into a branded customer quote.
Most shops are still measuring cut paths by hand, guessing pierce counts, or running spreadsheets that don't account for corner slowdown, travel time, or material markup. The result is quotes that either bleed margin or lose the job.
FabEngineer Pro reads the DXF geometry directly. You get real numbers — automatically — the moment you upload.

Actual output from FabEngineer Pro DXF Estimator
The built-in canvas renders every DXF with color-coded contours. Cyan = closed paths. Amber = open contours flagged for review. Bounding box dimensions shown in your working units. Zoom, pan, and measure before you commit to a price.
Define your corner zone and speed — estimates account for reduced speed at every qualifying corner, just like your machine actually runs.
Save any machine setup under a name. Load it in one click per job — no re-entering rates every time you switch material or process.
DXF units read from the file header. No setup, no guessing. Override if needed — everything respects your chosen unit system.
Export the full parts list to CSV for job costing, shop records, or feeding into your own systems.
Your DXF estimate feeds directly into the Customer Quote Generator. Add your shop name, logo, and payment terms. Generate a numbered PDF quote ready to email. The whole workflow lives in one place.
