“For years I debated buying FabCAD and finally purchased it a few months ago. I created the railing drawing on top of the treads in CAD and used that to build the railing frames in the shop. We took them to the job site today to test fit. Perfect. I know a lot of you take this for granted, but for a guy like me, this was AWESOME. For anyone debating the purchase, today was cool!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTiONS

What if I don’t know how to use CAD? I’m not even a “Computer Person.”
No experience? No Problem! Many of our customers had no CAD experience when purchasing FABCAD. We created FABCAD to be user friendly for fabricators. Most users are up and running with simple designs in just a few hours. You’ll learn basic commands with our Quick Start training. From there, we’ve broken out our training into modules so you can find answers to specific questions quickly or spend time honing more advanced skills.

If you have CAD experience, you will be up and running in minutes.
How much time will I save with FabCAD?
Our customers consistently report seeing increased efficiency in two areas: time saved in generating shop drawings and time saved in fabrication.

If you are currently drawing with a standard CAD program, you will save hours of time per week with our automation software. If you are drawing with a pencil, your time savings will be much higher.

Our users reported saving an average of 10 hours per week generating shop drawings. Time saved in fabrication was even higher with 20 hours being typical and some reporting saving as much as 100 hours per week.
Is it really worth the investment?
Our customers sure think so! They say things like “It’s worth every penny” and “It will change your world.” FabCAD is much more than a drawing tool – it helps you run your business more profitably from customer inquiry to installation. In addition to saving drawing time, you will be creating more accurate drawings saving re-work time. You can create great demo drawings to easily win the sale.

Your customer will know exactly what the job is going to look like with everything drawn
to scale. You can simulate gate installations saving time in the field.
What kind of support do you offer?
We provide support from day one with installation support and a hands-on introduction to the software. All annual subscription customers receive 2 hours of live online training. In addition to that, we have an extensive collection of training movies on our website and YouTube. Quick answers can be handled through email or our toll free support number.
Will FabCAD work in Metric?
Yes. We automatically ship a metric version to all of our international customers except
