A quote in three steps
- 01
Pick the customer and the material
Each item has a material, thickness and gas. That combination decides the cutting speed and cost.
- 02
Upload the drawing
Lines, arcs, circles, polylines and splines become cut length, pierces and part dimensions.
- 03
Check and save
Add labour, raw material and outside services, check the price and save. The quote goes into History.
What Kine Quote reads in the file
Only what gets cut
Text, dimensions and hatching stay out of the calculation.
Units checked
If the file does not declare its unit, Kine Quote warns you before you trust the number.
Your machine parameters
Speed, pierce time, machine hour and gas come from what you set up, per material, thickness and gas.
Price locked in
Changing a parameter later does not touch saved quotes: each one keeps the values of its day.
Frequently asked questions
What if I have no parameter set up?+
Kine Quote measures the drawing but does not work out the cost. Add the material, thickness and gas combination in Parameters and the price appears.
Does editing a quote use my monthly quota?+
No. Only new saved quotes count; editing an existing one does not count again.
Can I import many parameters at once?+
Yes. Download the template spreadsheet in Parameters, fill it in and use Import parameters.
