Before uploading

Material and file setup decide the quote path.

Instant pricing is a major advantage for clean cutting jobs, but it needs real cutting geometry. If material behaviour, finishing, folds, coating, engraving or assembly affect the job, reviewed quoting is the better path.

Common questions

Answers before production starts.

Can all materials be priced instantly?

No. Suitable cutting-only jobs can use instant pricing when the file has real cut lines and the material, thickness and quantity are clear. Complex, supplied or finish-critical material work should be reviewed first.

What file types work for material cutting?

DXF and DWG are preferred. Vector PDF can also work when it contains real cut paths at the correct scale. A photo or JPEG saved as a PDF is not a cutting file.

How do I choose the right material page?

Start with the material family, then choose the exact material. The material-specific page explains the best-fit process and whether instant pricing is likely to suit the job.
