Fab Shop Estimator - Full weldment job estimating and quoting for the fab shop

Fab Shop Estimator is a full weldment job-costing tool built for fabrication shops. Price out material — plate, pipe, tube, structural shapes, and more — add labor, CNC burn, drilling, weld time, and outside services, then generate a professional itemized quote you can hand straight to the customer. Monthly, yearly, or lifetime access, with a 7-day free trial. Built by a fabricator who was tired of guessing on quotes.

Fab Shop Academy - Free, interactive G-code courses for every CNC machine type

Fab Shop Academy is a set of interactive G-code courses for shop floor workers, students, and apprentices who want to actually understand the code their machine runs, not just memorize which button to push. A dedicated course for each machine — Plasma, Mill, Lathe, Laser, CNC Router, Oxy-Fuel, and 3D Printer — each with a built-in toolpath simulator so you watch the tool move as you learn. Lesson 1 of every course is free, no sign-up needed. Full course: one-time $9.99, no subscription.
