Sheet Metal Quoting Software Built for Fabricators
Oroox is a leading cloud-based sheet metal quoting software platform designed for fabricators, machine shops, and contract manufacturers. The platform enables instant cost estimation for custom sheet metal parts based on CAD geometry analysis, feature recognition, and pricing rules. This estimating process is suitable for laser cutting, bending, steel fabrication and other manufacturing processes, providing an accurate and scalable cost estimator tool across the entire manufacturing workflow.
How Sheet Metal Fabrication Software for Quoting Is Changing the Game
Manual sheet metal estimating and quoting traditionally relies on a lot of manual effort of trained estimators, engineers and sales managers, with data scattered across spreadsheets and emails. This makes it harder to scale orders and ensure pricing consistency. Sheet metal fabrication estimating software solves these challenges and helps grow your revenue with instant quotes, improved pricing accuracy, and reduced labor hours needed to process an RFQ.

CAD Feature Recognition →
Oroox uses CAD-based feature recognition for geometry analysis to identify features relevant for sheet metal fabrication. These features are used to estimate how much material, machine time and processing resources will be consumed. This reduces the need for manual sheet metal calculations and ensures more reliable outputs every time.
AI Engineering Advisor →
Oroox gives you an AI assistant to optimize CAD design, analyze manufacturability, and get instant advice on resolving engineering issues and feedback on potential design improvements and production feasibility.
Rule-Based Pricing →
Oroox calculates prices based on real manufacturing steps, not generic formulas. The built-in rule engine supports custom pricing logic, margins, discounts and plant-specific rules. This helps to generate consistent quotations that take into account particular customer requirements and reflect actual production capabilities available at the moment.
Manufacturability Validation →
Oroox automatically validates whether parts are producible before generating quotes. Design for Manufacturability (DFM) checks identify incompatible parameters and help eliminate expensive quoting errors and preventable production delays.
Nesting Optimization →
Oroox improves material cost estimation with 2D nesting that takes into account real sheet utilization and material waste instead of simplified estimates. This helps to calculate realistic material requirements.
Instant Sheet Metal Quote
Oroox brings together material, processing, setup, labor, and secondary operation costs into one consistent quote structure for the shop and front-office teams. The platform applies pricing rules to generate customer-ready offers that can be passed downstream without manual data re-entry, with workflows that track the job progress on the shop floor after approval.
From Accurate Costing & Quoting to Order Automation
Oroox is more than fabrication quoting software. It connects sheet metal instant quotes with order management, production preparation, and manufacturing commerce to digitize the entire manufacturing sales process. You keep track of all the information as customers move from requesting a price to placing an order.

Get Support01What is sheet metal quoting software?
Sheet metal quotation software is purpose-built for fab shops, suppliers and contract manufacturers to automate quoting and cost estimates based on customer-supplied CAD information. This type of manufacturing automation is suitable for a range of fabrication processes, including laser cutting, welding, CNC bending and others relying on CAD geometry.
02How does automated sheet metal cost estimation work?
Automated sheet metal fabrication cost estimation uses CAD geometry and manufacturing rules to calculate the expected cost of producing a part. The software identifies relevant geometric features, determines applicable manufacturing operations, and applies specific commercial and engineering rules to arrive at a final price that factors in production costs and margins.
03Can the software calculate laser cutting and bending costs?
Yes, specialized estimating software for fab shops is based on cost models for laser cutting, bending and other sheet metal fabrication processes so you can expect this solution to support your process.
04What is the difference between sheet metal quoting software and sheet metal estimating software?
Sheet metal estimating software typically calculates manufacturing costs, which is not the same as a customer-facing price. Quoting software automates customer price calculation that includes production costs plus surcharges, discounts, margins and other essential parameters.
05Does Oroox support complex sheet metal assemblies?
Oroox is suitable for any sheet metal fabricator looking to speed up their quoting and digitize sales workflows. This includes workflows for multiple fabrication operations. Complex assemblies may require additional engineering review. Book a demo with us to see how Oroox can meet your requirements.
06Is Oroox suitable for small fabrication shops?
Yes, Oroox can support small-size fabricators of custom parts that deal with high RFQ volumes and costing complexity. Contact us to discuss if it makes sense to adopt automation in your case.
07Can Oroox replace spreadsheets for fabrication estimating?
Oroox's automated CAD analysis and configurable rule engine make it possible to replace spreadsheets and go digital to reduce data errors and quote custom parts instantly. However, some exceptions may still require manual review.
08What is the difference between sheet metal design software and quoting software?
Sheet metal design software creates and modifies part geometry, while quoting software analyzes manufacturing requirements and calculates production costs. Oroox provides AI-powered engineering assistance for optimizing CAD design.
09What do sheet metal parts quoting services cost?
Cost estimating software for sheet metal fabrication is typically available as cloud-based solutions with per-user and/or per-quote subscriptions. Prices range from $50+ for basic features to $2,000+ for advanced products that support multiple users, real-time collaboration, advanced integrations and multi-market support.
