FabNoteYour equipment's documentation, on the equipment.
FabNote turns a scan of a real machine into a 3D model you can click on. Each part leads to its drawings, part numbers, datasheets and build steps, so nobody has to dig through folders to find them.
The information exists. Finding it is the hard part.
Someone working on a machine usually has a schematic in one PDF, an exploded drawing in another, a parts list in a spreadsheet and a few photos on a shared drive. Matching all of that to the thing in front of them is slow, and it's where mistakes happen.
FabNote doesn't replace any of those files. Engineers keep making them with the tools they already use. FabNote puts them where they belong: on the part they describe.
How it works
-
01
Scan it
Walk around the machine with a camera. FabNote builds a photorealistic 3D model from the footage and removes the background, so you get the machine and nothing else.
-
02
Link it
Pin parts, notes, drawings and datasheets to the spots they refer to. Write assembly steps that move the view to each component as you go.
-
03
Share it
Send a link. It opens in a browser on a PC, tablet or phone, with nothing to install.
Built for the shop floor, not just the office.
- Step-by-step assembly that shows each part on the model
- A searchable parts list with part numbers and vendors
- Build tracking for each individual unit
- Measurements taken right on the model
- Works the same on a desktop, a tablet or a phone
- Printed workbooks made from the same steps, for stations without a screen (coming soon)
Who it's for
Manufacturers building complex assemblies. Service teams supporting equipment in the field. Anyone training new people on machines that are hard to explain on paper.
Document a product once, and the same model serves engineering, the assembly line, customer support and maintenance.
We're taking on a few early partners.
