Why this process, for this part
A short table that explains why the bracket is SLS and the manifold SLA tells the engineer you looked at the geometry. It is a saved section you fill in for each job.

3D printing quoting software for service bureaus and additive manufacturing shops
ExtraflowDoc lets an additive shop send engineers a quote they actually want to read: why each part is printed the way it is, process, material and finish on every line, price breaks as parts share a build, tolerances, and approval by PO or signature.

What a 3D printing quote needs to get right
Engineers ordering printed parts compare service bureaus on three things: whether you understood the part, how fast you can ship it, and what the next quantity would cost.
Process, material and finish as fields
Each part line shows its process, material, volume or layer settings, and finish under the price. The customer checks the spec right where they see the number.
Price breaks that follow the build
Parts that share a build get cheaper with quantity. Set price tiers for each part and show a break table, so the engineer sees what 100 or 250 would cost before reordering.
Tolerances stated for each process
List SLS, SLA and FDM tolerances, and what is excluded, beside the price. Fewer arguments about a hole that came out 0.2 mm small.
Post-processing on its own lines
Inserts, dyeing, vapour smoothing, machining: every finishing step is a line with its own price, so the customer can drop one and see what it saves.
Approved by PO or signature
Engineers usually reply with a PO number; smaller customers sign. Either way, the accepted quote turns into the invoice in one click, with every part line carried over.
Worked example
Anatomy of an actual 3D printing quote
This is a real three-page ExtraflowDoc quote from a 3D printing service bureau in Raleigh to a robotics startup: 70 parts across three part numbers, printed by SLS, FDM and SLA, for $2,457.10 with North Carolina sales tax. It is written for an engineer, so it explains why each process was chosen before it gets to the price.
Page 1 — a note on the files, why each process, and tolerances
A short cover letter confirms the files print as designed and flags the one suggested change. A key-numbers strip shows parts, processes and lead time; a table explains why the bracket is SLS, the finger FDM and the manifold SLA; and each process's tolerances sit next to what is excluded.
Page 2 — each part with its process, material and finish
Each printed part is a line with process, material, part volume or layer settings, and finish as fields: the SLS bracket at $18.50 each, the carbon-fibre nylon finger, the clear resin manifold. Printed parts come to $2,060.00; heat-set inserts and the file check are their own section, and sales tax of $166.10 applies to the full order.
Page 3 — price breaks, terms and approval
A table lists each part at 10, 40, 100 and 250 pieces, so the engineer sees what the next build would cost. Terms cover validity, free reprints of out-of-tolerance parts, payment and how long the customer's files are kept, and the quote can be approved by signature or PO.

From teams that quote technical jobs
“The Pipedrive integration is seamless. All our client data auto-fills perfectly.”
“Game changer for our construction business. Complex estimates that used to take hours now take 10 minutes.”
“Very intuitive. Our team was creating professional proposals on day one with zero training.”
Integrations
Quote from the request you already logged
ExtraflowDoc installs into Pipedrive and monday.com, so the quote is built on the deal or item that the file upload or email created, right next to the customer's files and notes.
3D printing quotes in Pipedrive
Open ExtraflowDoc from the deal. The engineer, the company and custom fields like material, quantity or due date fill the quote, and the signed quote or PO stays on the deal.
3D printing quotes in monday.com
If jobs run on a monday.com board, build the quote from the item. Columns like process, material and quantity fill the document, and the approved quote goes back on the job.
Pricing
Per company, not per engineer
Applications engineers, sales and the print floor lead all quote on one plan. ExtraflowDoc charges by documents per month per company, so a busy week of quoting costs nothing extra.

FAQ
3D printing quoting software: frequently asked questions
Including what ExtraflowDoc does not do.
What is 3D printing quoting software?
It is software that turns a print request into a quote an engineer can approve: every part with its process, material, finish and price, plus price breaks, tolerances and terms. ExtraflowDoc does this inside Pipedrive or monday.com, from the deal or item the request created.
Can customers upload an STL and get an instant price?
No. ExtraflowDoc does not read STL, 3MF or STEP files, slice parts, calculate volume or build time, or run a customer upload portal. Work out the price in your slicer or pricing spreadsheet, then build and send the quote in ExtraflowDoc.
Does it manage printers or a print farm?
No. There is no printer queue, build planning or machine monitoring. ExtraflowDoc takes care of the documents around the job: the quote, the purchase order for material, the packing slip and the invoice.
Can I show price breaks for larger quantities?
Yes. Set price tiers on a part so the unit price changes with quantity, and add a table of the breaks. For a fully priced option at each quantity, use one quotation table for each quantity.
Can I list several processes in one quote?
Yes. Each part line carries its own process and material as fields, and you can group parts into sections by process or by assembly, each one with its own subtotal.
Can I keep machine hours and material cost internal?
Yes. Price each part from cost plus markup or margin, and mark the cost columns internal. Your team sees the margin on every part; the engineer sees the price.
Can the customer approve with a PO?
Yes. The quote carries its own number for the PO to reference, and it can also be sent out for e-signature. You can see whether it was sent, viewed, signed or declined.
Is there a free plan for a small print bureau?
Yes. The free plan covers 5 documents a month with unlimited users; paid plans start at $20.69/month for 20 documents, with no limit on how many engineers can quote.
