If you hired a new estimator tomorrow, how would you train them?
You’d give them real parts, real prices, and walk them through how you actually quote in your shop — not just the theory.
Now imagine doing the same thing… but with your quoting software.
With DigiFabster’s AI-Powered Pricing Calibration (Price Matching), you can do exactly that.
You feed the system your real pricing, for your actual parts, and it learns how to quote the way you do — fast, flexible, and accurate.
🧠 Pricing That Actually Reflects How You Work
One of the biggest challenges in automating quotes for CNC machining, metal fabrication, or custom manufacturing is that off-the-shelf logic rarely matches real-world practice.
You might:
- Include setup time in the unit cost
- Charge extra for tight tolerances or surface finish
- Apply aggressive volume pricing starting at 10 parts
- Quote differently based on material waste or stock size
Standard quoting software doesn’t know that — but you do.
Instead of adjusting settings endlessly, you can now just show the system what you’d charge, and it will configure itself.
⚙️ How It Works: Train It Once, Quote Forever
You upload up to 10 CAD models that represent the kind of parts you regularly quote. For each part, enter:
- Price for 1 piece (prototype / one-off)
- Price for 1 if 10 pieces ordered (volume pricing baseline)
The system automatically:
- Analyzes part geometry and complexity using feature recognition
- Adjusts machine, material, and cost settings to match your prices
- Calibrates one-off costs (e.g., programming, setup)
- Tunes per-part costs (e.g., machine time, operator time)
- Aligns material pricing (sheet, barstock, weight, etc.)
You get a side-by-side comparison of your prices vs. the system’s — in table and graph view.

Once it feels right, save it — and all future quotes will follow this logic.
⏱️ Spend 30 Minutes Now, Save Hours Later
Manual pricing setup across dozens of machines and materials can take days.
With this approach, you’re done in 30 minutes — and your quoting system now behaves like your most experienced estimator.
That means:

- And no friction when switching from manual to automated quoting
Your system becomes an extension of your quoting brain — one that works instantly, 24/7, and never forgets.

Whether you’re running a job shop, a custom machine shop, or a growing manufacturing services business, this feature adapts to your workflow — not the other way around.
Use it to:
- Reflect real-world pricing logic
- Align automated quotes with your brand and value
- Get consistency across estimators and sales reps
- Accelerate quote automation without sacrificing precision
