373 FrameWork turns your dimensions into a full Bill of Materials, cut list, and cost estimate — in minutes. Live multi-view drawings, cut length optimiser, and a print-ready fabrication report. Built for fabricators who build steel and aluminium frames.
No credit card required · 14-day free trial · From $9/month
Quoting fabricated frames shouldn't take half a day. 373 FrameWork handles the geometry, the BOM, the cut optimisation, and the costing — so you can focus on winning the job.
Front elevation, side, top/plan, and isometric views update in real time as you design. Pan and zoom each view. No CAD software required.
Every frame generates a complete, grouped Bill of Materials with section sizes, cut lengths, quantities, and weights — automatically. No manual takeoff.
Works out the most efficient way to cut members from standard stock lengths. Reports exactly how many bars to order and minimises offcut waste.
Calculates material, cutting, welding, and labour costs based on your own configurable rates. Cost estimate updates live as you design.
Full library of steel and aluminium sections — RHS, SHS, CHS, flat bar, angle, channel. Edit kg/m and stock lengths to match your supplier.
Professional multi-page PDF with drawings, full BOM, cut optimiser summary, and cost estimate. Ready to hand to the client or the shop floor.
Add multiple frames to a single job BOM. Design a pylon and box frame topper together and get a single consolidated cut list and cost estimate.
Jobs, templates, section library, and cost rates saved per account. Access from any device — desktop, tablet, or laptop.
Save your most common frame sizes as templates. Load a standard 3m pylon or typical box frame in one click and adjust from there.
373 FrameWork currently supports the most common fabricated sign frame types used across the industry. New frame types are being added continuously.
Free-standing vertical sign support structures with dual or multi-post configurations. Full control over post sections, brace depths, base plates, gussets, and embed depth. Correct mitre geometry on all joints.
Rectangular fabricated frames for sign cabinets, light boxes, and structural backing. Four-corner mitred joints, configurable leg and rail sections, optional internal bracing, and correct cut geometry throughout.
Single or multi-pole structures with configurable header zones for banners, wayfinding signs, and LED screens. Full height-above-ground and embed control with horizontal and vertical pole options.
Choose Pylon, Box Frame, or Pole/Banner from the frame selector. The input fields update automatically for that frame type.
Type your dimensions in mm and select your section sizes from the library. Drawings update live as you type.
Click Add to BOM. The full cut list, cost estimate, and cut optimiser results generate instantly. Add more frames to the same job if needed.
Generate a print-ready PDF fabrication report. Send it to the client as a quote or to the shop floor as a fabrication pack.

373 FrameWork works for any trade that designs and prices steel or aluminium tube and section frames — if you're quoting frames by hand, this tool saves you time and material on every job.
Stop quoting pylon and box frames from memory or rough spreadsheets. 373 FrameWork handles the geometry, BOM, and cut list automatically — so every quote is accurate and consistent, regardless of who does it.
Whether you're designing a freestanding pylon, a backlit box, or a street banner pole — get a professional fabrication report to hand to your fabricator or your own shop floor. No more emailing rough sketches and hoping for the best.
Accurate material takeoffs and cost estimates without waiting for the fabricator to get back to you. Design the frame yourself, get an instant cost, and build it into your quote — with the drawings to back it up.
If you're regularly specifying or installing sign structures, display frames, or banner poles, FrameWork gives you the documentation to support your quotes and orders — without needing a drafter or a fabrication background.
Box frames and structural backing frames are a constant in retail fitout. Get an accurate cut list and cost estimate for every frame in a fitout project — consolidated into a single BOM if needed.
You don't need a big operation to benefit from proper frame quoting. Even a one-person fabrication business quoting a handful of pylons a month will save hours and win more jobs with professional-looking quotes. At $9/month, it pays for itself on the first job.
373 FrameWork is a browser-based fabrication design and quoting tool for steel and aluminium tube and section frames. You enter your frame dimensions and section sizes, and the app generates live multi-view drawings, a complete Bill of Materials with cut lengths, a cut length optimiser to minimise waste, and a full cost estimate — all in real time. A print-ready PDF fabrication report can be generated for any job.
No. 373 FrameWork is a fabrication estimating and documentation tool — not an engineering design tool. It does not perform structural engineering calculations. Structural adequacy, wind loading, footing design, and fixings must be verified by a qualified structural engineer before fabrication or installation. The app is designed to help fabricators and estimators produce accurate BOMs, cut lists, and cost estimates quickly.
Currently Pylon frames, Box frames, and Pole/Banner frames. More frame types are in active development — including canopy frames, monopod structures, and retail display frames. Pro plan subscribers get early access to new frame types as they are released.
The cut optimiser takes your BOM cut list and works out the most efficient way to cut each section profile from standard stock lengths. It tells you exactly how many full bars to order, what the cutting pattern is for each bar, and what the waste percentage will be. Stock lengths are set in the section library to match your supplier's delivery lengths.
Yes. The section library is fully editable — you can update kg/m weights and stock lengths for any section to match your actual supplier inventory. Cost rates (material $/kg, cutting $/cut, welding $/joint, labour) are also fully configurable per account and stored in the cloud.
No. 373 FrameWork is entirely web-based. It runs in your browser on any device — Windows, Mac, tablet, or laptop. Nothing to install, no licence file to manage. Open a browser, log in, and start designing.
