What does each piece leaving your workshop really cost you? And what should you charge to make a profit? NUMAS Maker Pro answers both. It's the app for makers who work with lasers, heat presses, sublimation and 3D printers: artisans, small workshops and hobbyists who want to stop pricing by gut feeling. TRUE COSTS, LINE BY LINE • Each machine's hourly cost, computed from depreciation and energy — or set by hand. • Materials, labor and free-form cost lines (shipping, packaging), row by row. • Markup and sale price at a glance, for every operation. QUOTES, READY TO SEND • A clean PDF with your letterhead and logo, the client's details and the total. • Share it your way: Mail, WhatsApp, AirDrop, Save to Files. • A lightweight client list: regulars are one tap away. JOBS UNDER CONTROL • Clear states: quote, accepted, completed. • Payments, partial ones too, with who has already paid. • The summary up top: pending quotes, receivables, collected, profit. THE RIGHT PARAMETERS, ALWAYS • Work presets per machine and material: diode, CO₂ and IR lasers, sublimation. • A built-in starter catalog, yours to edit. • With the subscription: import the manufacturer's table from a PDF or a photo, AI recognition and iteration on parameters, image preparation for photo engraving. STOCK AND MACHINES • Stock levels update themselves: a completed job draws from stock. • Machines with expected life, power, energy cost and maintenance. • Automatic local backups at every launch. FREE FOREVER Unlimited machines and materials, hand-made presets, all the math, the quote PDF and up to 5 jobs on file (deleting one frees its slot). iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac is free for everyone, and stays free. WITH THE SUBSCRIPTION Unlimited jobs plus the time-saving modules: preset import from PDF/photo, AI on parameters, image preparation. Monthly with a 7-day free trial, yearly with 14. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No servers of ours: your archive lives on your device and your iCloud. AI features are optional and talk only to the provider you choose, with your key. A 100% native app, designed with people who actually do this work.
