How Syntax Helped Transform Laser Cutting into a Digital-First Experience
Laser Cut is a full-stack B2B web platform for the laser cutting and metal fabrication industry. It eliminates inefficiencies in manual quoting, fragmented project management, and complex CAD file handling by creating a seamless, automated workflow that saves time, reduces errors, and empowers both businesses and their customers.
The founders saw a clear opportunity — traditional workflows were outdated, slow, and opaque. Customers waited on quotes, managers struggled with material tracking, and teams wasted hours on repetitive admin tasks. Laser Cut modernizes this end-to-end through automation, digital transformation, and intuitive UX.
The Challenge: Manual Processes Were Slowing the Industry Down
Daily pain points included manual quoting that took hours, file handling across CAD formats (DXF, SVG) prone to errors, poor visibility for customers, inefficient resource management, and fragmented tools with no central hub. The result: lost time, wasted resources, frustrated customers, and limited scalability.
The Solution: An Automated, All-in-One Platform
Instant Quoting with CAD Uploads: customers upload DXF/SVG files and get real-time pricing based on materials, cutting technology, and complexity. Smart Material & Rate Management: businesses manage rate tables, materials, and thicknesses in one place. Customer Transparency: clients track quote history, download polished PDFs, and receive automated notifications. Operations Dashboard: analytics on revenue, material utilization, cutting time, and conversions. Seamless Integrations: Stripe for payments, WorkflowMax for job management, Firebase for automation. Advanced File Processing: DXF parsing and 2D visualization enable accurate cost modeling and error detection.
Results & Business Impact: 90% faster quotes; error-free pricing; better resource planning; streamlined workflows; increased conversions; scalable operations. Results at a glance: automated quotes from CAD, analytics dashboard, Stripe + WorkflowMax, quote history PDFs, inventory & capacity planning, real-time notifications. Tech Stack: React + TypeScript (frontend), Firebase Functions (backend), Integrations: Stripe, WorkflowMax, CAD processing with DXF/SVG parsing and 2D visualization.
Why Laser Cut Matters: not just quoting software — a digital transformation for fabrication. With Syntax, Laser Cut became a full-fledged platform enabling shops to operate like industry leaders.
