MakerBooks
Catalog quoting that carries work onto the shop floor.
Replace spreadsheet guesswork with machine, material, labor, and margin math—then move accepted quotes into work orders and production.
Built for fabrication shops that outgrew cells and tabs
MakerBooks is a dedicated quoting and operations app for 3D printing, laser cutting, and similar maker businesses—not a generic ERP.
Margin-aware quoting
Price jobs from machine time, materials, labor, consumables, margin, and tax—persisted in integer minor units so totals stay honest.
Reusable catalogs
Keep machines, materials, labor rates, and tax profiles ready for estimators instead of rebuilding rates in a spreadsheet.
Shareable customer quotes
Issue immutable revisions, render PDFs, share expiring links, and convert accepted quotes into work orders once.
Light MES
Plan operations, assign work, track materials and QA, and fulfill from a one-facility production foundation.
Printer & filament links
Connect Moonraker print runs and Spoolman filament inventory when your shop already runs that stack.
Invite-only access
Public signup stays off. Owners invite staff, roles stay scoped, and optional SSO or passkeys fit shop policy.
Where it fits
Designed for small-business and serious hobbyist fabrication—not for reinventing accounting or multi-site ERP.
01
Leave the quoting spreadsheet behind
Estimators pull rates from live catalogs, apply margin and tax once, and keep a revision history instead of emailed workbook copies.
02
Hand off from estimate to floor
When a customer accepts a quote, MakerBooks opens a work order so production managers are not retyping scope into another tool.
03
Keep filament and printers in the loop
Shops already on Spoolman or Moonraker can link inventory and print-run lifecycle without bolting another spreadsheet on top.
04
Hosted isolation or self-host
Hosted tenants get a dedicated stack at your company hostname. Self-host shops keep data on their own Compose deployment with the same application.
