- Import G-code to auto-fill weight and print time
- Real profit mode — back-calculate a listing price from target margin
- Competitor price comparison and break-even calculator

What makers say
Trusted by hobbyists and Etsy sellers
“I used to guess my prices. LayerMath showed me I was losing £2.30 per order on Etsy fees alone. Doubled my margin in a week.”
Sara M.

“The inventory + SKU manager is insane for the price. I reload prints in a click and remaining grams just tick down automatically.”
Tom R.

“Free calculator got me started. Pro paid for itself in one month once I saw what VAT and failure rate were doing to me.”
