# Fabworks Capabilities Overview

Overview of the capabilities of Fabworks, an online, instant quoting, laser cutting factory.

Fabworks is a rapid laser cutting shop located in Ventura, CA, USA. We use software to automate the quoting, production and scheduling of our orders, allowing us to offer competitive pricing and rapid turnaround times. All orders are produced by us in our facility.

## Lead times

Lead times are based on the complexity and quantity of parts.

Express ships eligible small orders the next business day, Priority the next business day, Standard in 1 to 3 business days and Economy in 1 to 5 business days. Hole operations, hardware, tube, welding and powder coating can add time; your quote shows the ship date before you order.

Please reach out to <support@fabworks.com> if you need faster lead times than quoted.

## Capabilities

Many of these processes are done with automation, but not all of them.

## Getting a Quote

To get pricing for your parts, use the [Fabworks instant quoting tool](/).

Upload a 2D DXF file for a flat sheet part or a 3D STEP file for a sheet, bent, or tube part, and we will analyze and quote it.

To save time, you can upload a multipart STEP file and we will break it down into individual components and quote each one.

You will receive some DFM checks and warnings to help you stay within our capabilities.
