Industrial Management Systems provides professional fabrication calculators designed to simplify complex calculations used in welding and metal fabrication.
Use these tools to improve accuracy, reduce mistakes, and speed up project planning.
Calculate welding project pricing using labor time, material costs, and fabrication variables.
Determine proper voltage and wire speed settings based on material thickness.
Identify recommended amperage ranges for TIG welding operations.
Find correct plasma cutting parameters for different material thicknesses.
Calculate railing picket spacing based on total length and number of pickets.
Industrial Management Systems develops tools based on real welding and fabrication workflows.
These engineering apps are designed to support:
• welders
• fabrication shops
• metal contractors
• builders and fabricators
Each tool focuses on solving practical calculation challenges commonly faced in fabrication environments.
Industrial Management Systems also develops structured fabrication documentation packages designed to help fabricators build proven engineered systems.
Current system available:
A structured fabrication documentation package for building modern double swing gate systems.

One of the biggest mistakes welders make is guessing the price of a job. Many fabricators look at a project, estimate a number in their head, and send a quote without breaking down the real cost. Sometimes that number works, but many times it does not.
Many welders search for a welding calculator when they need to quickly determine welding settings, estimate project costs, or calculate fabrication measurements. In a busy fabrication shop, stopping to manually calculate amperage, spacing, or project pricing slows down workflow and increases the chance of mistakes.
Every metal fabricator has been there. You’ve spent twenty minutes scribbling soapstone marks on a railing, dividing lengths, and recalculating, only to find that your spacing is inconsistent by the time you reach the last picket. You end up rubbing the marks off and starting from scratch. In a modern shop where labor costs are high, that wasted time is money down the drain.
One of the biggest frustrations for welders—whether beginner or pro—is trying to hold metal pieces at a perfect 90-degree angle while welding. If you’ve ever used makeshift jigs, clamps, or even your knee to hold parts in place, it’s time to upgrade.
Are you tired of slow turnarounds, inconsistent cuts, and wasted material?If you're running a fabrication shop, managing a farm, or operating a construction business, you know that precision matters—and so does your bottom line. CNC plasma cutting isn’t just a fancy machine—it’s a problem-solving powerhouse that can save you time, money, and frustration.
Whether you're a farmer, fabricator, off-roader, or industrial builder—your project is only as strong as the metal parts it’s built on. At Industrial Management Systems, we offer custom metal cutting services that bring your ideas to life with precision, speed, and repeatability. This isn’t just a cutting service—it’s a solution that delivers real parts for real problems.
