Ordering from Fabworks was fast and easy -- especially how they automatically adjusted holes for the correct hardware or threading size! The parts I received matched my expectations. They did have a glitch with emailing me order confirmations, but the online support was fast and super helpful. This was my first sheet metal fabrication and I will have no qualms ordering from Fabworks again in the future!

Augusto R.

Ordered some heavy duty stainless steel brackets for an awning structure on a Friday. They were delivered by Wednesday morning the following week to MA from CA. Perfectly fabricated to the design. Packaged well. Great price. Fast delivery. Thank you!

Dan G.

great price, free shipping. They also analyzed my DXF file before just throwing it at their machine and running it. They suggested I close up some of my cutouts because it would be flimsy and I'm glad I did. Would absolutely use them again.

I’ve used Fabworks for both personal and business projects over the last couple of years, and they are fantastic. Their website is user-friendly, and their customer service is incredibly responsive. They even provide expert help with design for manufacturing. I couldn't be happier with their service!

Andrew R.

The process of ordering was simple and the order was fulfilled quickly and perfectly. Our robotics team was behind schedule and the speed of Fabworks got us back on track

TC B.

I wanted to make a custom, sub-5L PC case that could fit some solid gaming hardware. I made my designs, shot Fabworks an email with some questions, and after a bit of back and forth I had gotten some great feedback, advice and info on how to make sure my part turned out well. Ordered, and pretty quickly my parts were at my door. Great (eco friendly) packaging, and a sticker and some candy. Parts were perfect. Seems like they've got a truly great team.

Super fast turnaround! I needed some bicycle dropouts laser cut out of .25in mild steel. I sent the CAD file on Wednesday, it was cut Thursday morning, and arrived at my place Friday! Happy with the precision and finish quality!

Kevin Z.

Excellent service all around. Sleek website makes placing and configuring orders pretty seamless. Parts shipped quickly and arrived packaged nicely. They came through exactly as I designed them. 10/10. Will definitely be checking out their bending services soon.

Jeremy G.

Order arrived earlier in the anticipated. Parts were high quality, well within tolerance, and the web interface was beyond simple to use

Seriously underrated - check these guys out for well-priced well-finished laser cut parts on demand. The site is great for quoting and tracking different jobs and the customer service has been good in my experience

James C.

This was our first time using Fabworks for our FIRST CNC parts and we were very happy with the ease of uploading a quote and getting our parts shipped quickly. We would definitely use again next time. The price discount for ordering multiple plates made the pricing extremely affordable.

Carrie R.

Everything is perfect from the sheet metal to the price, other than the fact that they won't be able to do purchase orders.
