Tempus Tools

By Tempus Tools

Visit official website

Tempus Tools targets laser cutting and fabrication quoting with file preparation, material rules and secondary-process costing. The vendor describes drawing cleanup, extraction of sheet metal parts from 3D files and a customer Web Store. It is relevant when a fabricator wants to connect file intake to internal quotes and online ordering. Compare plans carefully because quote limits, storefront access and advanced pricing controls differ.

A per-seat price is not your company’s total cost. Request a written scope for users, implementation, migration, training, usage limits, support and integrations.

Integrations and compatibility

Check data direction, field mapping, supported versions, error handling, ownership and extra fees. A logo alone does not prove a native connection.

Questions to bring to the demo

Use your own requirements to test the fit. These questions identify information to verify; they are not reported product defects.

  1. Do our quote volumes fit the Starter limit of 20 jobs per month?
  2. Can the vendor demonstrate this workflow with our own files and explain which plan includes it?

ProNest

ProNest is a cutting-software option with separately described modules for production and business workflows. Its official optional-module material lists Quote Manager as a web-based companion, alongside production management and automatic nesting options. A buyer should confirm the base license, cutting-process support and every required module in one proposal. A web companion does not establish that the entire cutting application is cloud hosted.

RADAN Quoting

RADAN Quoting is described by Hexagon as a cloud quoting system for sheet metal parts. The official product page identifies support for 2D and 3D part files and automated material and machining cost calculations. This is a candidate for fabrication teams comparing specialist quoting systems rather than a complete manufacturing ERP. Buyers should establish which machine data, operations and production handoffs are supported for their exact installation.

SecturaFAB

SecturaFAB documents a fabrication estimating workflow that starts with quote details and CAD files or a shape library. Estimators can clean geometry, select machines and materials, change quantities and prices, and add secondary operations before completing a quote. Its documented nest step makes it relevant to buyers investigating material usage during estimating. The documentation establishes workflow availability, while accuracy and configuration effort still require a shop-specific test.
