Your shop. Your workflow. One platform.
A comprehensive business operations platform for makers, fabrication shops, and small-batch manufacturers. Manage jobs, machines, materials, invoicing, shipping, suppliers, and customers across 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC, vinyl, and handcraft—with built-in file preview, barcode scanning, and offline-first sync.
Built for the maker economy.
Running a fabrication shop means juggling job queues, machine schedules, material stock, customer communication, and invoicing—often across multiple fabrication types. Most business software wasn't designed for shops that run 3D printers overnight, cut vinyl during the day, and laser engrave custom orders on weekends.
CraftOps is different. It's built from the ground up for the way maker shops actually work: job-centric, machine-aware, material-tracked, and always available—even when the internet isn't.
Built to run your shop.
A full-featured platform covering every aspect of fabrication shop operations.
