Choose a profile and enter its actual dimensions, finished piece length and quantity. Enter the supplier price and its basis: per kilogram, metre, foot, stock length, or finished-size purchased piece.

Stock-length pricing rounds up whole lengths for each material line using the finished piece length and kerf per cut. It assumes each piece uses one cut, does not combine offcuts across lines, and does not add end-squaring or machine trim. Add those to your piece length when required. If a piece cannot fit, the app flags it.

Weight uses nominal sharp-corner geometry and typical density: mild steel 7,850, stainless 304 7,930, stainless 316 8,000 and aluminium 2,700 kg/m³. Supplier section weights take priority. Plate pricing by piece means one purchased blank per finished piece; sheet nesting is not included.

The total covers materials and the adjustments you enter. Add fabrication labour, equipment, installation and job overhead separately when pricing the complete job.
