Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating prices for manufacturing signage, generating machine files for manufacturing signage, and manufacturing signage, in part or complete, using the machine files. Design option records are stored in a pricing matrix, where each design option record includes a design option and a price that may vary depending on design parameters. A design specification is processed to convert content objects and design parameters into a set of selected design options, where each selected design option corresponds to a design option record. Pricing information for fabricating the product, in part or complete, is calculated for the selected design options based on the price of the corresponding design option record. A machine file is generated which is used to control a machine to manufacture the product, in part or complete. The product may then be manufactured by a manufacturing system using the machine file.
