Tao Laser Cloud

A cloud workshop for laser cutting

Cutting in the cloud β€” from drawing to a quote for your client

Several machines, one library of drawings, settings and leftovers. The estimate runs in the cloud against the profile of the machine you picked β€” so two different machines give two different prices, not a rounding difference.

What is here

Library

DXF drawings live in the cloud with versions and a content fingerprint: two machines cannot silently overwrite each other β€” the platform shows the conflict and asks a person. A file can come from the browser or from the Tao Laser plugin inside your CAD editor.

Machines

A machine is a model, a controller, a tube, its kerf, its speed and the price of its hour. The machine’s numbers override what was typed by hand, and the estimate says so out loud instead of hiding it.

Leftovers

Offcuts are objects on a shelf, not files: they carry size, material and how many are left. An estimate can start from an offcut, and it is written off only after the cut actually succeeded.

Quote for the client

The quote is built from the estimate, opens for your client by a link with no account, and prints to PDF β€” with your workshop name, contacts and an expiry date.

What the estimate counts

Materialprice per mΒ² from the sheet profile you chose
Cutting pathprice per metre from the cut profile
Machine timecut length Γ· speed + pierces; the price of the machine hour comes from its profile

Three steps

1. Drawing

Upload a DXF from the browser or from the Tao Laser plugin β€” it lands in the library with a version and a fingerprint.

2. Estimate

Pick the machine and the material. The estimate gives the price, shows the layout, and names everything it overrode.

3. Quote

Send the client a link: they see the total and can print it without creating an account.

Start with one drawing

The account is free. You pay for the work of your own machine β€” and the estimate counts the time, not a promise.
