History

A JOURNEY OF INNOVATION

An Idea was Born:

Fabstation’s story began in 2010, amidst the challenges faced during the construction of the Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon, British Columbia. As the founder worked on the project, it became evident that traditional 2D drawings fell short in conveying the intricate details required for steel fabrication. This realization sparked a transformative idea.

From Concept to Reality:

Driven by the desire for a better way, our founder pursued digital transformation, integrating an MRP system in the office and employing CNC machinery on the floor. However, the gap between BIM data and workers still remained. Enter the rise of augmented reality steel software, offering an affordable and robust solution to bring 3D visualization directly to the floor.

Embracing the Power of 3D:

The team introduced 3D models for the steel assemblies, bringing laptops onto the production floor. The marriage of digital modeling and critical construction information proved invaluable. It prompted the question: “Why build complex 3D structures from 2D drawings?”

Leading the Way in Mixed Reality:

Today, FabStation’s flagship product, FabStation-STEEL, stands as the steel industry’s premier BIM solution for steel fabricators. Created by fabricators, for fabricators, our mixed reality technology paves a new path forward in the steel industry.

As we continue to evolve, FabStation remains committed to revolutionizing the steel industry with cutting-edge solutions tailored to the needs of those who build.
