Drawings uploaded twice
Files from your own portal get downloaded and uploaded again into the quoting tool, just to get a price.
CUTL Quoting
Price DXF, STEP and PDF drawings from your own software
Send a drawing to the CUTL API and get the geometry and a full price back, from the same engine and rates the app uses. Read projects, quotes and nesting straight into your website, ERP or internal tools.
Your systems and your prices live apart
Orders start in a customer portal, an ERP or an internal tool, but the price comes from somewhere else. Someone copies drawings in and numbers out.
Prices retyped into the ERP
Quoted totals and part lists are typed into another system by hand, and every copy is a chance for a mistake.
Nesting files passed by hand
Sheet layouts and machine DXF files are exported and moved by hand to the people and tools that need them.
From drawing to price in your own code
01
Get access and a token
API access is switched on per account: tell us your use case. Then generate your integration token on the Integration tab of your account settings.
02
Send a drawing
Submit one DXF, STEP or PDF drawing with a material and a cutting mode from your account. CUTL detects the file type from its content.
03
Read the result
Poll the calculation until it completes. You get the geometry and the file checks, plus the full price and weight when a material and cutting mode were sent.
04
Read projects and nesting
Read projects with their parts and quoted prices, and fetch the nesting behind a quote with sheet images and a machine DXF per sheet.
What the API does today
Prices come from the same engine the app uses, so your integration and your estimators always quote the same numbers.
Calculation from one drawing
Send a DXF or STEP file up to 2 MB or a PDF up to 20 MB. Geometry always comes back, and the price comes back when you name a material and a cutting mode. You can also state the real drawing unit to fix a wrongly detected one.
PDF drawings to parts
CUTL extracts the cut contours of a PDF into candidate parts, each with its own DXF, its page, a confidence value and the detected scale. Submit a candidate as a new calculation to price it.
Projects with their quotes
List projects page by page with date filters. One project returns every part with material, cutting mode, operations, cutting time and prices, plus the material summary and the nested sheets on the quote.
Nesting with machine DXF
Fetch the nesting behind a project quote: sheet images, part placement and a DXF per sheet in standard DXF, CypCut or RDWorks format. Identical sheets come back as one entry with a count.
Coin balance check
Read the team balance before you submit a batch, so no work is refused for lack of coins. When a charge drops the balance below the warning level, your administrators get one email.
Webhooks and write access, planned
Creating projects, managing materials and customers through the API, and webhooks that push results to you are planned, not live yet. Today your code polls for results.
Built for teams that connect CUTL to their own systems
Shops with their own portal
Price the drawings customers upload to your own website or portal, from your server and with your own rates.
ERP and internal tools
Pull projects, part lists, quoted prices and nesting into your ERP or planning tools instead of retyping them.
Developers
A REST API with one token header and JSON or XML responses, plus an interactive reference to try the read requests on your own account.
Questions about the CUTL API
API access is switched on per account. Write to info@cutl.online with a short description of your use case. Then generate your token on the Integration tab of your account settings. Each account holds one token, and a new token replaces the old one at once.
The API uses the same coins as the app. Pricing a part costs 100 coins, once, and a PDF needs at least 500 coins on the balance to start. There is no free sandbox, so plan test runs. A new account gets 10,000 coins free, and packs start at $50 for 10,000 coins, with no subscription.
Not yet. Webhooks, creating and changing projects, managing materials, equipment, cutting modes and customers, and multiple tokens are planned. Details may change before release, so build on the read and calculation endpoints that are live today.
No. The token gives full access to your account, can spend coins and does not expire on its own. Keep it in your backend or a secrets manager, and let your server call the API.
The API documentation lists every live endpoint with its parameters and full response schema. Paste your integration token there to try the read requests against your own account, and see how calculations, PDF drawings and nesting behave in practice.
