Pricing for laser, press-brake and welding shops, from the kilo to installation.
Parts are nested on standard sheets and the material is priced from the kilo rate; cut length, pierces, bends, weld metres, powder-coat area and galvanising weight are worked out in the same line item. Thickness, holes and bend counts from the customer's WhatsApp message go straight into the quote.
What the customer writes, and what Teklif Atölyesi pulls out
Hi, we need 120 pcs angle brackets in 2 mm mild steel as per the attached DXF. Flat size 180x120 mm, 1 bend, 4 holes, black powder coated. Can you deliver by next Friday? Mark Taylor - Taylor Engineering

Where does pricing leak in this trade?
How many parts per sheet?
Parts are nested on 1000×2000, 1250×2500 or 1500×3000 sheets; you bill the share of the sheet used, or the whole sheet, at the kilo price. Keep sheet prices in dollars and the quote follows the exchange rate.
Cut length and pierces
Laser time comes from contour length and the number of holes. The rate per metre rises with thickness, and nitrogen cutting for stainless and aluminium is priced on top.
Bending, welding, coating
Bend count and press-brake set-up, weld and grinding metres, powder-coat m² and galvanising kilos each get their own line. The coater's minimum charge kicks in by itself on small jobs.
Forgotten operations
If stainless is welded without pickling, galvanised sheet gets welded or a bend runs past 3 metres, you get a warning before the quote goes out.
Recipes included
A recipe: materials, operations, job details and formulas, default size and quantity breaks. Adapt them to your work and add your own.
