Configure
Custom products, priced and configured
Made-to-order parts deserve better than a spreadsheet someone guards. Build configurators with real parameters, your own pricing formulas, stock matching and geometry, each returning a price that explains itself.
Presets
A configurator for every kind of special
Kabaido seeds working configurators for the four industries it serves, each a real parameter schema with formulas, rules and a drawing. Start from one, change the rates, and make it yours.

The seeded presets reach across the work: ground specials like end mills, profile drills and PCD saw blades, industrial machine knives, form grinding wheels, parts priced straight from a 3D model or a 2D profile, and modified standard products such as toolholders. Each one is a starting point you edit, never our pricing advice.
Parameters and formulas
Built from your parameters and your own formulas
A configurator is a schema of parameters and a set of formulas you write. No fixed price list, no number we chose for you.
Declare the parameters a request fills in: dimensions with units, counts, toggles and option lists. From them, derive the values that drive cost, like the grind minutes on the endmill here, then write the cost and the price as plain expressions, with quantity bands and conditional surcharges where you need them.
It is the same engine that prices Servicing, so a made-to-order special and a regrind on a worn tool share one language. Change a rate and every quote that uses it moves with you.

Stock and rules
- Carbide rods pool, matched to the nearest rod at or above your diameter and length, with a fallback price when none fits.
- Warns when overall length over diameter passes 25 to 1, so someone reviews it before it commits.
Illustrative rates. Every parameter, formula and rule is yours to edit.
Every result itemised
Every configured price shows its parts: the stock it matched and the price the formula computed, never a single opaque number.

Stock, rules, clarifications
Priced from what you hold, guarded by what you set
A configured price is only as good as what stands behind it. Kabaido prices from the stock you hold and the rules you set, and asks when it does not know.
- Matched from your stock pools
- The Custom carbide endmill preset grinds specials from rod stock, matching the nearest rod in the Carbide rods pool on diameter and length. The 16 mm run above matched CR-16-100 and carries the rod as its own line in the breakdown. When no rod fits, a fallback price applies instead.
- Reserved when the order lands
- Ordering a configured product reserves the matched rod or blank, so the stock you priced is the one set aside. Low stock raises an amber banner on the pool and a chip on the dashboard before it bites.
- Rules that protect you
- Block what you cannot make, warn on what needs review. The seeded PCD saw blade blocks a bore over 40 per cent of the blade diameter, and the endmill warns when length to diameter passes 25:1 so someone reviews it before committing.
- It asks rather than guesses
- When a request leaves a parameter open, Kabaido asks a clarification instead of inventing a value. Missing means a question, not a guess, on configured work as much as anywhere else.
Geometry in the loop
Price from the geometry itself
Some parts are easier to send than to describe. Upload the model and let the shape set the price.
Upload an STL and the price can read its volume, surface area, bounding box and a complexity score, like the machined part on the right. A DXF profile prices from cut length, pierces and material area, and draws itself to scale on the run. STEP solids are read on request.
Analysis runs client side in your browser. Only the derived numbers and a file hash travel with the run, so the geometry drives the price without the file leaving your hands until you choose to attach it.

Drawings that travel with the part
Every run through a drawing-enabled preset renders a dimensioned 2D engineering drawing of the configured part, generated by a Kabaido drawing engine from the same parameters that priced it. The drawing is deterministic: the same inputs always produce the same views, so the image saved on a run matches what was on screen when it was priced.
Add a configured line to a quote and the drawing rides along, onto the PDF, the email and the customer portal.
End mills, PCD saw blades, profile drills, form grinding wheels and profiled plates each ship with their own engine. A profiled part reads its uploaded DXF and draws the outline to scale; a profile drill or a form wheel shows your uploaded form on the tool. Blank configurators carry no drawing yet, and that is where bespoke work comes in.
We can build a custom 2D or 3D dynamic rendering for your own products on request, so a customer watches their part take shape as they configure it. Live 3D CAD and CAM previews are on the way. Tell us what you make through contact.
From run to order
Configured, then quoted
A configured product is not a dead end. It flows into the same quote and order path as everything else.
Straight into a quote
Add a configured line to any quote. Its price, its breakdown and its drawing travel with it onto the PDF, the email and the portal.
Stock reserved on order
Placing the order sets aside the matched rod or blank, and warns you when a pool is running low.
One pricing engine
The formulas that price a special here also price a regrind in Servicing, so one set of rules covers new work and repair.

Questions
The detail, answered
- Yes. Each configurator is a schema of parameters and a set of formulas: derived values, quantity bands, conditional surcharges and a final price expression. It is the same engine that prices Servicing. You edit every rate and rule; nothing is hard coded by us.
- Yes. Upload an STL and the price can read its volume, surface area, bounding box and a complexity score. A DXF profile prices from cut length and pierces. STEP solids are read on request. Analysis runs in your browser and only the derived numbers and a file hash are sent.
- Several presets already render a dimensioned 2D drawing on every run. For your own products we can build a bespoke 2D or 3D dynamic rendering on request, so a customer watches their part take shape as they configure it. Live 3D CAD and CAM previews are on the way. Tell us what you make through contact.
- A configurator matches the nearest item in a stock pool and carries it as its own priced line. When nothing fits, a fallback price expression takes over, so a request never stalls on a missing rod or blank.
- No. Running your own configurators is free; it is your own tooling. Credits are only spent when the AI resolves a configured line inside an incoming request.
- Two on the free plan, ten on Starter, fifty on Growth and unlimited on Scale. See pricing.
