Visitors can bring their own production files, including 2D flat patterns in .DXF and .PDF formats and 3D native CAD files in .STEP, .STP, and .ZIP formats, to test the platform live at the booth. The engine extracts geometric features, calculates machine cycle times, evaluates scrap and material factors, and generates branded, itemized PDF quotes with multi-tier volume pricing on the spot.\n\nMindPal's solutions architects are hosting free one-on-one strategy sessions for shop owners, production managers, and lead estimators. The consultations cover pinpointing bottlenecks in current estimation workflows, integrating quoting engines into existing ERP and CRM platforms, and configuring custom machine rates and margin targets to match specific shop-floor operations. MindPal is also running a live broadcast and recording studio at Booth N9553, where metal fabrication executives, engineers, and manufacturing innovators attending FABTECH 2026 can join as featured guests to discuss digital transformation, pragmatic AI adoption on the shop floor, and evolving supply chain challenges. Booking for consultation slots and podcast episodes is available at fabtech.[mindpal.co](https://mindpal.co).\n\n## MindPal's Construction and Manufacturing Record\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), MindPal expanded into the construction vertical in February 2026 with a dedicated AI Suite covering Precision Planning, Resource Optimization, and Process Automation, targeting the $1.7 trillion U.S. construction and manufacturing market.
