# CUTL (cutl.online) > CUTL makes two products for manufacturing. **CUTL MBD Studio** is a set of browser > tools for STEP models: a free online STEP viewer, collaboration on the model, PMI > enrichment, PDF to STEP (beta), DXF to STEP, an AI DXF editor, routing and documents > generated from the 3D model. **CUTL Quoting** prices sheet-metal parts from a shop's own > machine rates and material prices, nests the sheets, tracks production and takes complete > orders through a widget on the shop's website. ## CUTL MBD Studio (3D and CAD tools) Overview: https://cutl.online/mbd-studio/ - Online STEP viewer, free, no account: open .step and .stp files (AP203, AP214, AP242) in the browser, with the component tree, section and explode, and the semantic PMI of AP242 files. Without an account the file stays on CUTL's servers for at most 2 hours, then it is deleted automatically, unless an account is created in that time. Up to 40 MB per file. Page: https://cutl.online/step-viewer/ Viewer: https://app.cutl.online/step-viewer - Collaboration: invite customers and suppliers to comment on the model. Invitees see a view of the model; the exact STEP file, the PMI and drawings are never sent to them. Parts can be hidden per invitee; invitations expire and can be revoked. Page: https://cutl.online/step-collaboration/ - Production drawing PDF from a STEP model: overview with balloons, a parts list and a page per unique part. - PMI enrichment: write GD&T, dimensions, datums, surface finish and delivery requirements into the STEP model as semantic PMI, rule-checked against ISO 1101 or ASME Y14.5. Import requirements from a spreadsheet, a QIF file or the drawing PDF. Writes semantic STEP AP242 PMI following the CAx-IF PMI Recommended Practices (v4.1). Outputs: enriched STEP, a QIF 3.0 inspection plan validated against the official QIF schema, a ballooned drawing and an inspection sheet for first-article results. Page: https://cutl.online/step-pmi-editor/ - PDF to STEP (beta): rebuild a PDF drawing of a sheet-metal part as a STEP model. Early access through the contact form. Page: https://cutl.online/pdf-to-step/ - DXF to STEP: mark bend lines and fold a flat DXF into a bent 3D model. - Online AI DXF editor: clean up open contours, duplicates and gaps; start from a DXF, a description, a common shape or a photo. Page: https://cutl.online/online-dxf-editor/ - Routing: ordered operations per part and sub-assembly with hours, a route card and export to an ERP. Page: https://cutl.online/manufacturing-routing/ - Documents from the 3D model: assembly manuals, part and product data sheets and parts lists that stay tied to the model; export to PDF or DOCX. Page: https://cutl.online/documentation-from-3d/ ## CUTL Quoting (for laser, plasma and waterjet shops) Page: https://cutl.online/quoting/ - Upload DXF or STEP. CUTL prices cutting, bending and other operations from the shop's own machine rates (cost per metre of cut and per pierce, per machine, material and thickness) and material prices (per m2 or per kg). Client-ready PDF and Excel quotes and share links, with markup and lead time. - Part types priced their own way: flat sheet (per m2), bent sheet (bends read from the 3D model, priced from a length x thickness table) and tube or profile (per kg). - A cutting mode can be set per contour of a 2D part. - STEP assembly quoting: parts you make are priced like project parts; purchased items get a typed price or a supplier link; labour lines sit on each sub-assembly. Quantity breaks, markup, and the quote as PDF or Excel. Page: https://cutl.online/step-assembly-quoting/ - True-shape nesting (parts can sit in the holes of larger parts), export of the sheet layouts as DXF for CypCut, RDWorks or standard DXF. G-code programs come straight from the nest, with a player to check them before they reach the machine. Page: https://cutl.online/true-shape-nesting/ - Production: send a project to production in one click, plan shifts by material, nest each shift, a printed route card with QR codes, status from reported quantities, and planned versus actual material use per shift. Part labels with QR code and barcode. Page: https://cutl.online/production-management/ - Order widget on the shop's own website: customers upload up to 10 DXF or STEP files, choose material and quantity per part and submit a complete order. The shop decides whether customers see an instant price. Page: https://cutl.online/order-widget/ - AI agents: preliminary quotes from a DXF or a photo in WhatsApp and Telegram, an in-app assistant, and a customer bot under the shop's brand. Page: https://cutl.online/ai-quoting-agents/ - REST API: send DXF, STEP or PDF drawings and get geometry and a full price back; read projects with their quotes and the nesting with DXF files; check the coin balance. Webhooks and write access are planned. Page: https://cutl.online/quoting-api/ Docs: https://cutl.online/documentation/api/ - MCP server: connect Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants to a CUTL account. Page: https://cutl.online/mcp-ai-assistants/ Docs: https://cutl.online/documentation/connect-ai-assistants/ ## Pricing Page: https://cutl.online/pricing/ - Pay as you go with coin packs, no subscription. Prices in US dollars. - A new account gets 10,000 coins free: about 100 parts. - Pricing a part costs 100 coins, once. Re-quotes after a change of quantity or material, orders through the order widget and replies from the AI agents cost no coins. - Packs: $50 = 10,000 coins ($0.50 per part), $150 = 50,000 coins ($0.30 per part), $250 = 100,000 coins ($0.25 per part). Coins do not expire. - The public STEP viewer (no account) and collaboration are free. A STEP model in an account costs 100 coins for a single part and 200 for an assembly. DXF to STEP and PDF to STEP (beta) cost coins; see the price list in the app. - A demo quote without an account: https://app.cutl.online/calculation ## Your files Page: https://cutl.online/your-files/ - Files in an account are visible only to the owner's team unless an administrator invites someone. - Drawing and model files are never sent to AI providers. AI features receive extracted metadata and, where a feature reads a drawing or a photo (PDF to STEP, the AI DXF editor), raster images of it. A user's own AI assistant connected through MCP sends what it reads to that assistant's provider, under the user's agreement with them. - All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). GDPR compliant. An NDA and a data processing agreement are signed on request. Accounts and files are deleted on request. ## Company - CUTL is built by gdtrp, Krommenie, the Netherlands (Chamber of Commerce KvK 96941367). - Contact: info@cutl.online, https://cutl.online/contact/ (Book a demo: https://cutl.online/contact/?reason=demo).
