The product, first
See the evidence beside the decision.
No abstract dashboard tour. Start with the estimator’s actual question: what is this value based on, what still needs a person, and what would stop the quote being sent?
Follow the four-stage workflow
Intake, review, price and send share one visible state.
The unfinished decision is named before customer output is created.
Interpretation can happen without compulsory CAD upload.
One controlled workflow
From source files to a quote you can send.
Walk the job forward without losing the evidence or hiding the human decisions that make it ready.
01 / Intake
Bring the job together.
Start from STEP, DXF, drawings, a bill of materials or a watched folder. Keep every source attached to the quotation.
Source evidence retained
Proof and trust
Automation can assist. It cannot silently decide.
Nothing becomes human-confirmed until a person confirms it. If a quotation is not ready, the gate names the unfinished decision instead of hiding it behind a generic error.
Observed, not promoted.
OCR and optional local AI can surface values for review. Evidence does not silently become authority.
A person remains responsible.
Confirmation is explicit, part-specific and retained with the quotation.
The gate explains itself.
Every blocker is named before the customer document or approved data package is issued.
Inside the customer boundary
Your quotation data stays with the shop.
Deploy LAMINA in the customer environment. Connect only the routes and systems that have been deliberately agreed.

Deployment options
Use the part of LAMINA your workflow needs.
Not a feature-count pricing ladder. Each deployment is configured around the customer’s source files, capabilities, ownership rules, commercial logic, outputs and integration points.

A demo based on real work
Bring one quoting workflow.
We’ll focus on how the job arrives, where estimators lose time, what must remain authoritative and how approved data should leave LAMINA.
UK demonstrations · approximately 30 minutesPractical questions
Before the demo.
Does customer CAD leave the premises?
No compulsory cloud upload is part of the product model. LAMINA is deployed in the customer environment and integrations are configured as explicit routes.
What does the optional local AI do?
It can assist with OCR, drawing interpretation and non-tabled documents while keeping customer material local. It does not independently confirm manufacturing decisions.
Does LAMINA replace an ERP?
Not necessarily. LAMINA can prepare approved technical and commercial data while the existing ERP remains the production or commercial system of record.
Which files and outputs are supported?
The workflow can be configured around STEP, DXF, customer drawings and bills of materials, with HTML, PDF, XLSX and DXF-package outputs.
