Two sides,
one network
Custom manufacturing in Istanbul without the phone tree, the guesswork or the unpaid invoice. Here is what each side actually gets.
Why customers use fabberworks
You have a design and a deadline. What you do not have is a shortlist of workshops you can trust, or any way to tell whether a price is fair.
Three real quotes, no bidding war
Upload once. Nearby workshops are ranked by capability, distance and rating, and you request quotes from up to three of them in parallel — each priced from that workshop's own rate card, not driven down by an open auction.
Your file is checked before you pay
Every STL, STEP, DXF and Gerber gets a design-for-manufacturing check on upload. Thin walls, unreachable pockets and missing tolerances are flagged while they are still cheap to fix.
You agree what “correct” means first
Before the request goes out, both sides sign off on a QA acceptance checklist drawn from that DFM report. The finished part is measured against what you agreed, so “this isn't what I ordered” becomes a check rather than an argument.
Your money waits in escrow
Payment is held, not handed over. It is released when you accept the part — and if something goes wrong, the dispute process runs while the funds are still sitting there.
Workshops are verified, not self-declared
Identity, address and equipment are checked in tiers before a workshop can quote at all. Ratings score quality, speed and communication separately, and a workshop's first three jobs are badged as new instead of blending in.
Local actually means local
Every workshop is in Istanbul. Collect in person or have it sent across town — no customs, no three-week freight, and you can go and stand next to the machine if you want to.
Why workshops use fabberworks
Your machines cost the same whether they run or not. The hard part was never the manufacturing — it was finding the next job without turning into a salesperson.
Sell the hours you are already losing
Mark a machine free for Thursday afternoon and it starts appearing in matches for Thursday afternoon. Idle capacity becomes listed capacity, machine by machine, on your own schedule.
Requests that fit your machines
Jobs are matched against what you actually own — process, build envelope, materials, tolerances — so you stop reading enquiries for work you were never going to take.
You are paid before you start
The customer's money is already in escrow by the time the job reaches you. No deposit to chase, no thirty-day terms, no invoice that quietly goes unanswered.
Your prices, your rules
Each machine carries its own rate card and its own DFM limits. Quotes come out of your numbers, and a job that breaks those limits never reaches you as a request in the first place.
A storefront at an address you keep
A public page on a handle that is yours, pulling together your services, price ranges, ratings and finished work across every machine you run. Rename the workshop and the address still works.
Reputation you can actually build
Verification tiers, plus a public rating split across quality, speed and communication. Your first three jobs wear a “new workshop” badge, so you get read as new rather than as bad.
