Stop chasing shops. Start receiving quotes.
Verified domestic fabrication capacity, AI-matched to your RFQ. Anonymous quotes until you accept, a secure Data Room you control, and direct settlement with the shop.
Six structural advantages over the directory + email status quo.
Verified domestic shops
Every shop passes an 8-step verification stack and manual admin approval before going live. No directory chaff, no offshore re-sellers.
AI-assisted matching
Our intake AI normalizes your RFQ, then matches only shops with the right capability and active capacity — not the entire database.
Anonymity until acceptance
Shop identities stay hidden behind handles. You compare quotes on price, lead time, and verification — not on logos or sales reps.
Buyer-controlled Data Room
Drawings live in an encrypted, view-only Data Room. Downloads are permission-based. The buyer owns access — always.
Capacity-protected vendors
Shops can't over-accept. Annual acceptance is capped at 130% of their best revenue year, with no single job >40% of that ceiling. You don't get burned by a vendor in over their head.
Direct milestone payments
After the 10% engagement fee, all job payments flow directly between you and the shop (wire or CC). Fabmaster never holds job funds.
A clean spec, not a folder of files.
Fabmaster RFQs use a structured field set so every shop quotes apples-to-apples. The intake AI normalizes free-form input — paste an email, fill the form, or both.
No drawings at the RFQ stage. DXF, STEP, and PDFs are only shared inside the encrypted Data Room — after you accept a quote and the vendor signs an NDA.
A Data Room you actually control.
- View-only by default. Vendor sees drawings in-browser, no local copy.
- Download by permission. You grant it per-file, per-vendor, per-job.
- NDA on file. Every vendor signs the Data Room NDA before access opens.
- Full audit log. Every view, download, and access change is timestamped.
Capacity-protected matching.
Shops on Fabmaster can only accept up to 130% of their best historical revenue year, and no single job can exceed 40% of that ceiling. That means the vendor quoting your job has the runway, equipment, and labor to actually deliver it — not just the eagerness to take it.

Verified shops, anonymous quotes, and direct settlement. No subscription. You pay nothing until you accept a quote.
