Profit tracking for 3D print shops and custom fabricators

The problem, as people describe it

Small 3D printing businesses and custom fabricators struggle to accurately quote jobs and track profitability. They lack clear visibility into material costs, machine wear, and labor time per project, leading to underpriced work and uncertainty about their actual earnings. This forces reliance on manual spreadsheets or gut feelings, hindering growth and financial stability.
