Procurement for Hardware Teams

Full description — before

Mechanical engineers hate making engineering drawings. Fabricate lets them instantly create engineering drawings for their parts, saving them up to 40 hours every month by doing the tedious work for them.

Full description — after

Hardware engineers spend a quarter of their time just figuring out how to get their parts made, and from who. Fabricate builds procurement software for hardware teams. We help engineers manage manufacturing feasibility and procurement across their suppliers, whether they're getting parts custom manufactured or buying them off-the-shelf.
