Why this process, for this part
A short table explaining why the bracket is SLS and the manifold SLA shows the engineer you have looked at the geometry. It is a saved section you complete for each job.

3D printing quoting software for print bureaus and additive manufacturers
ExtraflowDoc lets an additive manufacturer send engineers the 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 sign-off by purchase order or signature.

What a 3D printing quote needs to get right
Engineers ordering printed parts judge bureaus on three things: whether you have understood the part, how quickly you can deliver, and what the next quantity would cost.
Process, material and finish as fields
Every part line carries its process, material, volume or layer settings, and finish beneath the price. The customer checks the specification in the same place as the figure.
Price breaks that follow the build
Parts sharing a build get cheaper with quantity. Set price tiers per part and show a break table, so the engineer can see what 100 or 250 would cost before placing a repeat order.
Tolerances stated for each process
Put SLS, SLA and FDM tolerances, and what is excluded, right next to the price. Fewer disputes over a hole that came out 0.2 mm undersize.
Post-processing on separate lines
Inserts, dyeing, vapour smoothing, machining: each finishing step is its own priced line, so the customer can remove one and see exactly what it saves.
Signed off by PO or signature
Engineers tend to reply with a purchase order number; smaller customers sign. Either way, the accepted quote becomes the invoice in one click, with every part line carried across.
Worked example
Anatomy of a genuine 3D printing quote
This is a genuine three-page ExtraflowDoc quote from a 3D printing bureau in Raleigh to a robotics start-up: 70 parts across three part numbers, printed by SLS, FDM and SLA, for $2,457.10 including North Carolina sales tax. It is written for an engineer, so it explains the choice of process before it gets to the price.
Page 1 — a note on the files, why each process, and tolerances
A short covering letter confirms the files print as designed and flags the one change suggested. A key-figures strip gives parts, processes and lead time; a table explains why the bracket is SLS, the finger FDM and the manifold SLA; and the tolerances for each process sit alongside what is excluded.
Page 2 — every part with its process, material and finish
Each printed part is a line with its 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 total $2,060.00; heat-set inserts and the file check are a separate section, and sales tax of $166.10 applies to the whole order.
Page 3 — price breaks, terms and sign-off
A table shows each part at 10, 40, 100 and 250 pieces, so the engineer can see what the next build would cost. The 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 accepted by signature or purchase order.

From teams who quote technical work
“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 enquiry you have 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, alongside the customer's files and notes.
3D printing quotes in Pipedrive
Open ExtraflowDoc from the deal. The engineer, the company and custom fields such as material, quantity or due date fill in the quote, and the signed quote or purchase order 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 such as process, material and quantity fill in the document, and the approved quote goes back onto the job.
Pricing
Per company, not per engineer
Applications engineers, sales and the production lead all quote on one plan. ExtraflowDoc charges by documents per month per company, so a busy week of quotes 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 enquiry into a quote an engineer can approve: each part with its process, material, finish and price, along with price breaks, tolerances and terms. ExtraflowDoc does this inside Pipedrive or monday.com, from the deal or item the enquiry 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 handles the paperwork around the job: the quote, the purchase order for material, the delivery note 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 a separate quotation table per 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 with its own subtotal.
Can I keep machine hours and material cost internal?
Yes. Price each part from cost plus mark-up or margin and mark the cost columns as internal. Your team sees the margin on each part; the engineer sees only the price.
Can the customer approve with a purchase order?
Yes. The quote carries its own number for the purchase order to reference, and it can also be sent 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 £11.80/month for 20 documents, with no cap on how many engineers quote.
