Why Welders Waste 30% of Their Material

The number one source of wasted material in welding is not a bad cut. It is a bad plan.

When you sketch a project on paper or visualize it mentally, you are working with a flat representation of a three-dimensional problem. The compound angles look fine in your head. The material list feels right. Then you get to the third piece and nothing fits.

The Re-Cut Tax

Every re-cut costs you twice: once in material and once in time. A hobbyist building a table frame might re-cut two or three pieces per project. A small fab shop doing ten projects a month is absorbing that tax across every job.

The fix is not cutting more carefully. The fix is visualizing the assembly before you cut anything.

Seeing It in 3D Before You Touch Metal

Fixed Point lets you photograph your raw materials, input your dimensions, and see the assembled model before fabrication starts. You can check fit, adjust angles, and generate a cut list that accounts for all of it.

When the plan is right, the cut is right. That is the fixed point.
