The problem
When your best estimator retires or leaves, your institutional pricing knowledge walks out with them. Every shop has this problem. Almost none have fixed it. That single point of failure is your most fragile business asset.
Pulling dimensions, researching material costs, estimating setups, tallying machine time across six operations — a single complex quote takes 2–4 hours done manually. That's time you should be making things, not writing spreadsheets.
When a job has eight processes, three materials, and two outside operations, most shops price it with intuition. Some you win and make money. Some you win and lose money. There's no way to know which until it's too late.
The platform
A guided session that walks you through labor rates, machine costs, overhead, and markup. No spreadsheets. No consultants. Your rate card is ready in under 10 minutes — and every quote you write is built on it.
Machine rates
Describe the work in plain English and PriceFab does the rest. It breaks the job into process line items, estimates hours per operation, and applies your rates — overhead and markup included. Export to PDF and send.

Drop in a STEP, DXF, or PDF. PriceFab reads it like a senior engineer — identifies every required process, flags DFM issues, estimates material, and produces a plain-English brief before you spend a minute quoting.
