From CAD to cost and production in one workflow
Cost calculation and work preparation software for metalworking.
CalQore helps metalworking companies move from DXF and STEP files to cost calculation, work preparation, and production-ready output in one connected workflow. Applications include sheet metal, tubes, profiles and bar stock.
It reduces manual re-entry between systems, keeps pricing logic under control, and helps teams prepare jobs properly before they reach production.
Calculate faster
Replace manual interpretation and disconnected spreadsheets with automatic feature recognition and configurable cost logic.
Prepare work properly
Move from cost calculation to structured work preparation with projects, assemblies, parts, operations, and production-ready outputs.
Quote consistently
Turn your best estimator’s logic into shared rules and templates. Custom operations, customer pricing, and margins stay consistent across every quote.
Connect teams & systems
Link CAD, calculation, CAM, ERP and MRP through one connected workflow instead of repeated handoffs.
More than quotation software:
built for calculation, work preparation, and production
Most quoting tools stop at the number. CalQore continues into work preparation and production handoff. That means fewer manual steps, fewer mistakes, and a job package that production can actually run.
Recognize manufacturing features from the CAD data you already receive
Calculate material and every operation you define using your own rules
Build structured projects with assemblies, operations, and routing
Generate reports and prepared production files
Push prepared data into connected CAD, CAM, ERP and MRP workflows
Read the CAD files
you already receive
CalQore imports DXF and STEP files individually, in bulk, or via ZIP upload. It extracts geometry and manufacturing features like bends, holes, and cutting paths. Interactive 2D and 3D viewers let engineers verify everything before calculation starts.

Connect CAD, calculation, work preparation and production
CalQore is designed to eliminate one of the biggest sources of delay and error in manufacturing: manual data transfer between systems. Direct CAD connectors bring geometry in.
Structured project data supports work preparation. CAM exports send prepared projects into production software. ERP and MRP synchronization keeps customers, articles and pricing aligned across systems.
Best fit for metalworking companies that need more than quoting alone
Best fit
Metalworking companies working from DXF and STEP files
Teams that need quoting linked to work preparation
Operations where project structure matters after pricing
Businesses that want fewer manual handoffs between office and production
Teams that want more consistency without giving up control
Not ideal for
Generic sales quoting with no manufacturing logic
A lightweight web-only price calculator
Workflows with no CAD input and no downstream production preparation needs
Ready to see CalQore on your own parts and workflow?
Bring a DXF file, STEP file, or a real project example. We will show how CalQore reads the geometry, calculates the job, supports work preparation, optimizes material usage, and prepares the project for downstream production.
