MakerCalc is the app that 3D printing studios, laser engraving workshops, CNC businesses, and small manufacturing shops need to get from "what does this actually cost?" to a professional, ready-to-print quote in minutes instead of hours. Whether you are printing as a side hustle in your garage or running a small manufacturing workshop: MakerCalc calculates for you – accurately, transparently, reliably.

🧮 The Calculator: Live Calculation Instead of Mental Math Choose your machine, enter material and weight, track time – the price is calculated live instantly.

No hidden black box: every single cost component is viewable.

Machine depreciation, electricity, maintenance automatically calculated per machine:

- Material, disposal, and storage costs

- CAD design time, setup time, post-processing

– everything can be recorded individually

- Discounts per order, "private project" (does not count towards revenue statistics, but material consumption is still tracked)

Individual friendly discount possible independently of the calculation Clear pie chart shows what makes up the price

One click saves the calculation directly into the quote, history, or as a collection item

📦 Inventory Management That Thinks Along No more "how much PLA do I actually have left?"

Materials grouped by category (filament, carbon, electronics, wood, LED, small parts – freely expandable)

- Automatic inventory value calculation, warnings for low stock and sold-out items

- Sheet material (carbon, wood, etc.) also correctly mapped with area, thickness, and cutting logic Article number system with automatic category prefixes (filament, resin, wood, carbon, electronics, metal, plastic...)

- Batch/lot numbers for traceability Storage location, barcode field, image upload Full-text search across name, variant, brand, note, and article number

📝 Quotes & Invoices Like a Pro

Professional PDF quotes with your company logo, directly from the app Contact customers via email, generate delivery notes and invoices with one click Search and add items from inventory directly into the quote Duplicate quote, mark as completed or cancel Everything documented transparently Total discount per quote, delivery date, expiration date

📅 Delivery Dates in View A dedicated calendar shows all quotes with delivery dates on their respective days Including the option to enter holidays and company closures so no deadline accidentally falls on a closed day.
