The spreadsheet tax

Most shops still price five‑figure jobs by feel

The estimating system at most finishing shops is a spreadsheet, a calculator, and whoever has been there the longest. It works — until it doesn't.

Tribal-knowledge pricing

The rates live in one estimator's head. When they're out — or gone — quotes slow down and margins drift.

Hand-measured geometry

Surface area gets approximated from prints with a calculator and hope. Complex parts get padded "to be safe" — and lose the bid.

Margin leaks you find later

Forgotten setup fees, unbilled masking, missing minimums. You discover the underpriced job at the end of the month, not before you send it.

Geometry-true pricing

Click the faces you finish.
Price exactly that.

Import the customer's STEP or STL file, orbit the part, and click the faces being processed. MFC measures the real surface area — total, selected, or everything but the masked faces — and feeds it straight into your pricing.

  • 20+ built-in shape calculators for everyday parts — sheets, tubes, cylinders, I-beams
  • STEP / STL import with interactive 3D face selection
  • Per-face box pricing for open-top enclosures and panels
  • Selective plating and inside-only jobs priced from actual geometry

Your shop's brain, encoded

Your processes. Your cascades. Your minimums. Encoded once.

MFC ships as a blank canvas — no preloaded assumptions about how your shop prices. Build your process catalog with cascading spec options that multiply through automatically, so a Class 2 + hard-coat + black job prices itself, the same way, no matter who quotes it.

  • Unlimited processes — price by sq in, sq ft, each, minute, or your own units
  • Cascading option tiers with stacking rate modifiers
  • Eight fee types: setup, delivery tiers, expedite, percentage, conditional & more
  • Every quote carries your minimums, your rounding, your spec callouts
Defense-grade by architecture

No cloud. No accounts. No telemetry.

MFC runs entirely on your machine. Part geometry, customer names, and your pricing never leave the building — which is why shops handling ITAR and CUI work can run it without a single compliance conversation about "the cloud."

Installers are code-signed through Microsoft Azure Trusted Signing and published with SHA-256 checksums. The security documentation set — penetration test report, NIST 800-171 responsibility matrix, SBOM, data handling spec — is available for your procurement team on request.

Own it. Don't rent it.

Buy it once. It's yours.

No monthly seat fees that outgrow you. No "your subscription has lapsed" lockouts in the middle of quoting season. No vendor holding your pricing data on their servers. One license, bound to your machine, working for as long as you do — with the right to move it to a new computer every year.

  • One-time license — $4,999.99, additional seats $3,499.99
  • Hardware-bound key, validated locally, works forever
  • Annual self-service transfer right when you replace a machine
  • Signed updates included — support plans optional, never required
