CNC Machine Shop Quoting Software
Paperless Parts is automated quoting and estimating software for CNC machine shops. Upload a part file and it automatically detects setups, holes, pockets, and 3D features, flags manufacturability risks, and calculates cost and price with your shop’s own rules, from simple 3-axis parts to multi-axis work with custom fixturing. It also automates the admin around each quote, so estimators spend their time on pricing decisions.

How does CNC quoting software estimate machining costs?
Automated part file analysis provides information like setup count, process-specific feature detection (holes/pockets/3D machining), manufacturability warnings, and volume removal that drive costs and pricing for faster quoting. Rapidly quote a wide variety of complexities, from the simplest 3-axis parts, to the most complex multi-axis geometries requiring multiple setups and custom fixturing.

What manufacturability issues does Paperless Parts catch?
Our machine shop quoting software spots manufacturability issues before they cost you time and money. With dozens of automatic manufacturability warnings for CNC machining, easily identify difficult or impossible features that add cost or complexity to the job. Customize manufacturability thresholds to your shop’s capabilities based on material, process, or workcenter to always catch critical issues.
Quoting from prints? Wingman™ reads RFQ emails and prints and extracts critical details, such as GD&T, specs, processes, materials, and finishes, which estimators review to make strategic decisions about how to cost and price a part.
How do estimators and machinists collaborate on a quote?
Stop walking the shop floor or searching your inbox for the information you need. Communicate securely with your team in the context of the parts you’re quoting, directly in the platform. Highlight features or measurements on 3D models or prints to clearly identify what you are referencing. Keep all of your data in one centralized and searchable location.

CNC Quoting FAQ
What is CNC quoting software?
CNC quoting software turns an RFQ into a priced quote for machined parts. It analyzes the part file for setups, features, and manufacturability issues, then calculates cost and price with the shop’s own rates and rules. Paperless Parts does this for work ranging from simple 3-axis parts to multi-axis jobs with custom fixturing, and estimators review every quote before it goes out.
Can Paperless Parts quote from PDF prints as well as 3D models?
Yes. Paperless Parts analyzes 3D models automatically, and you can view PDFs and 3D CAD files in the platform without native CAD software. For prints, Wingman™ reads RFQ emails and prints and extracts critical details, such as GD&T, specs, processes, materials, and finishes, which estimators review to make strategic decisions about how to cost and price a part. See how Precision Machine quotes with PDFs.
Can I set manufacturability warnings to match my machines?
Yes. You can customize manufacturability thresholds to your shop’s capabilities based on material, process, or workcenter, so Paperless Parts flags features that add cost or that your shop can’t make before you price the job.
Does Paperless Parts work with my ERP?
Yes. Won quotes move into ERPs including M1, JobBOSS², E2, Epicor, Infor VISUAL, Global Shop Solutions, and ProShop without retyping. See all integrations.
