How is it calculated?
Material: parts are nested on the sheet, the share of the sheet used (including the waste allowance) is found, and that share of the sheet price goes into the cost. In the app you can also choose to bill whole sheets.
Printing: each layer (CMYK, white, varnish) is calculated per m² from part area × quantity produced × number of sides. CMYK carries a per-job setup charge.
Cutting: the part's perimeter × quantity produced, in meters; small jobs trigger the laser's minimum charge.
An overhead share is added to the total direct cost; the suggested price comes from your target margin, and the unit price is rounded up so the margin never drops.
