Quote 3D prints in minutes, not emails.
MakerQ turns scattered quote requests into one organized, auto-priced, ready-to-send pipeline. It runs on your own computer, so your customer data never leaves your desk.
Start free, no account, no cloud. Windows and macOS.
Everything from request to paid, in one place
Stop juggling inboxes, spreadsheets, and calculators. MakerQ handles the whole quoting workflow.
Collect requests
An intake form you can embed on your website or Shopify store drops every request straight into your queue.
Price automatically
Set your rates once. MakerQ prices each print from material, weight, and time, and sticker work by the sheet. No mental math.
Track visually
Move jobs across a Kanban board and production queue so nothing slips through the cracks.
Send & get paid
Send branded quotes with checkout links from your own email in a couple of clicks.
Every request lands in one tidy queue
Customers submit their files and project details through a form you build in the app and embed on your site. No more digging through email threads to figure out what someone wants.
- Drag-and-drop STL and 3MF file uploads, download them all as one zip
- Embeddable intake forms for your website or Shopify, with bot spam quarantined before it reaches your board
- Import requests straight from your inbox
- Lay out the project view your way: show, hide, and reorder every section
Consistent prices, calculated for you
Enter your material costs, machine rates, and margins once. MakerQ applies them to every job so your quotes stay accurate and profitable, whoever sends them. If a quote dips below your margin floor, it warns you before it goes out.
- Fully adjustable pricing settings
- Auto-price by material, weight, and print time
- Outside materials too: paint, epoxy, heat-set inserts, priced per unit or per job
- Optional AI quote assistant on Pro
Quote anything, not just prints
Someone at the counter wants a number now. Someone else wants 200 stickers. Both get a real price built from your own costs, and a reply you can paste straight back to them.
Quick Quote
Price a print for someone on the spot, over the counter, on the phone, or in a DM, with no project attached. It is the same engine and the same saved costs as the calculator on a project: grams, hours, quantity, fail rate, complexity, shipping, and any outside materials.
- Your saved rates and settings, nothing to re-enter
- Ends in a customer reply you can copy and send
- If they say yes, Save as New Request turns it into a real project with the price attached
Sticker Calculator
Stickers and decals have no grams and no hours, so MakerQ prices them by the sheet and divides by how many fit on one. Paper, laminate, ink, printer and cutter wear, blade, mat, and your labour all go in, then waste, packaging, shipping, fees, markup, and tax.
- Enter paper and laminate as pack price plus sheets per pack, and see the per-sheet cost as you type
- Letter, legal, and tabloid built in, plus your own sizes: a 12x12 mat, 4x6 labels, whatever you cut
- Same copyable reply, same Save as New Request
Quick Quote is included with Starter and Pro. The Sticker Calculator is on every plan, and if you leave its markup and tax blank it uses the ones from your main calculator.
See your whole shop at a glance
Track every job from new request to shipped on a visual Kanban board, and keep your printers busy with a production queue sorted by due date. Search the whole board, group jobs into folders, and draft a follow-up for a quote that has gone quiet in one click.
- Kanban pipeline with search, folders, due-date chips, and collapsible columns
- Production queue and printer tracking
- Stock deducts itself the moment a job starts printing
- Business analytics: revenue and pipeline
Every customer and order, tracked in one place
Keep each customer's projects, prices, deadlines, and full quote history side by side, so you always know where every order stands and what you've already sent.
- Per-customer order history and status
- Deadlines, prices, and deposits at a glance
- A log of every quote email you've sent
Send a tracking link, cut the “where's my order?” emails
With one click you send each customer a private status link. They open a clean page that shows exactly where their order stands, the price, and every step from quote to shipped, no account, no app, no phone tag. Add a progress note or mark a deposit as partially paid and they see it on the same page.
- One-click tracking & approval links per order
- Customers see live status, price, progress, and your notes
- Partial payments reflected as they happen
- Your shop's name and logo, on your own status page
