Every laser cutting enquiry, scored before you quote it
Every laser cutting enquiry captures material type, thickness, batch quantity, and whether a design file is ready, plus CAD drawing uploads, before it lands in your CRM.

What a qualified laser cutting lead should tell you
Precision cutting of flat metal sheet or plate to a drawing or specification, where the cut needs to match material type, thickness, and tolerance requirements before a shop will quote it.

The questions your team needs answered
Every laser cutting intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What material do you need laser cut? | Material type determines whether the job is even within your laser's capability, and metal selections carry meaningfully higher weight than non-metal or unsure answers. |
| Do you have a design file or drawing ready for the parts? | A ready design file means the job can move to quoting faster, so it scores higher than a request that still needs drawings developed. |
| How many parts do you need cut? | Batch size tells your team whether they're looking at a one-off prototype or a production run that changes scheduling and quoting. |
| What is the approximate thickness of the material? | Thickness affects whether the job falls within your laser's power range, which your team needs to know before committing to a cut. |
| When do you need the cutting completed? | Timeline shows how soon the buyer needs parts, helping your team sequence a capability review against existing shop load. |
| Do you need additional services such as bending, welding, or finishing after cutting? | A need for bending, welding, or finishing after cutting flags whether the job requires coordination beyond your laser cell alone. |

Built for laser cutting workflows
| Cliont capability | Laser Cutting application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Material selections like stainless steel or aluminum score higher than non-metal or unsure answers, so metal jobs your shop can actually run rise to the top. |
| File upload capture | Buyers can attach a design file or drawing directly in the intake, so your team isn't chasing CAD files by email before quoting. |
| Structured batch and thickness fields | Batch size and thickness are captured as fixed fields, giving your team production-relevant details before deciding whether the job fits your line. |
| Multi-service flagging | A yes answer on bending, welding, or finishing needs flags the lead for coordination with other fabrication capacity instead of treating it as a cut-only job. |
Example laser cutting lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
Rush job on mild steel
Buyer needs mild steel cut as soon as possible in a small batch, giving your team a high-value, time-sensitive lead worth prioritizing over slower enquiries.
Large stainless production run
A design file is ready, the batch is 500+ pieces, and the material is stainless steel — a commercial-scale job your line needs to see before anything else in the queue.
Prototype, no file, unsure material
A single-piece prototype request with no drawing and an unclear material selection needs more back-and-forth before it's worth a capability review.
Non-metal material request
The buyer selects a non-metal material, which the intake flags early so your team doesn't spend time quoting a job outside your laser cutting scope.
Cut plus downstream finishing
Thicker material with a medium batch size and a yes to bending, welding, or finishing signals a multi-step job that may need coordination with your welding or coating capacity.

Laser Cutting lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle different metal types?
The material question separates mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals from non-metal materials, so your team can see at a glance whether the job fits your laser's capability before responding.
Does the intake ask if the buyer has a drawing ready?
Yes — buyers are asked whether a design file or drawing exists for the parts, which affects how quickly the job can move from enquiry to quote.
Can the intake tell me how big the run is?
The batch size question captures whether it's a single prototype, a small batch, a medium batch, or a large batch of 500+ pieces, so you can gauge production impact before scheduling a capability review.
Why does the intake ask about material thickness?
Thickness (under 3mm, 3mm-10mm, or over 10mm) affects cut speed and whether the job is even within your laser's power range, so it's captured directly in the intake rather than discovered on a call.
What happens if a buyer needs bending, welding, or finishing after cutting?
The intake asks about additional services separately, so you know upfront if a lead may also need work you handle under Sheet Metal Fabrication, Custom Welding, or Powder Coating.
How does the intake treat requests for non-metal materials?
Non-metal material selections score lower than metal options, helping your team spot enquiries that fall outside laser cutting scope before quoting time is spent on them.
