Exphora is a software product — we do NOT build, ship, or install physical booths. What you get here is the 3D Designer plus CAD exports so you can design yourself or hand the file to your fabricator. If you need a physical build, logistics, on-site labor or installation for FABTECH, please book a regional stand-builder — Exphora helps you prepare the design and hand it off cleanly.
Power, AV, furniture and storage planning calibrated to a 30x30 (9x9 m) footprint. Use this as a checklist before you finalize your design above.
4–6 × 20A circuits plus at least one 30A drop. Truss lighting overhead, accent uplights on hero walls, and dedicated dimmable circuits for theater zones.
Reception desk + 2 demo counters + a 6–10 seat lounge + 1 enclosed meeting room with a 6-person table. Plan a separate "VIP" meeting area if budget allows.
A 2.5 mm or 1.9 mm LED wall (12 × 6 ft minimum) for the hero, 4–6 demo monitors, plus a small theater with 1 large projector or 98" display and bench seating.
Hanging sign at the show ceiling, hero LED video, branded floor decals, and a feature "moment" — interactive screen, claw machine, photo wall.
4+ demo stations + a "theater" loop running every 20 minutes. Stagger reps so VIP visitors are always picked up within 60 seconds.
Full back-of-house: 8 × 8 ft minimum with a lockable door, shelving, refrigerator, and a small standing desk for the booth manager.
1 enclosed meeting room (with door) + 1 open-plan lounge with 6+ seats + a barista or beverage moment. Privacy matters at this size.
Things we have learned from booth builders working FABTECH (Chicago, IL). Bake these into your design before move-in week.
Live machine demos require dedicated 50A or 100A power drops — order these 60 days out, not on-site.
Booths run dirty: plan a dust mat at the perimeter and use easy-to-clean flooring (vinyl, not carpet) under cutting/welding stations.
OSHA-style barriers around any moving machinery are required — design these into your CAD plan, not as an after-thought.
FABTECH visitors come with technical questions — staff with engineers, not just sales reps, and design quiet 1:1 zones.
Sound levels can exceed 85 dB near machine demos; provide free earplugs at reception to keep visitors comfortable.
The Designer below auto-loads a 30x30 (9x9 m) booth with FABTECH template options. No setup, no install.
"Surprise Me" is enabled by default — a randomized theme + furniture arrangement loads instantly. Swap walls, counters, lighting, AV and lounge zones until it fits.
One click produces the electric plan (outlets, amperage, lighting circuits), artwork list and full production list — ready to send to your fabricator.
Download CAD (DAE/STL/OBJ/GLB/DXF) or PNG render. Share a view-only link with your client. Hand off cleanly to fabrication.
Each landing pre-loads its own template footprint and event filter — open one and the Designer is ready to edit.
FABTECH is categorised as a welding trade show in our database. The current edition runs 2026-10-21 – 2026-10-23.

A free Exphora account is required to save your project and download CAD exports — that is how we keep your designs in sync across browsers and devices. Signing up takes 30 seconds with email or Google.
Yes. Exports are standard CAD formats (DAE, STL, OBJ, GLB, DXF, PNG) that open in Blender, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, KeyShot, Cinema 4D and almost any CAD or render tool. Hand the file to your booth fabricator and they can quote and build directly.
Six formats: DAE (Collada), STL, OBJ, GLB (glTF Binary), DXF, and high-resolution PNG renders. All exports are unwatermarked and free to use commercially.
Yes. From the Designer you can share a view-only link, export a PNG render for a proposal slide, or hand off the GLB to a real-time AR/VR viewer. If you use Exphora CRM, the design links to your booth proposal automatically.
The Designer is free forever. The Exphora CRM links your designs to proposals, invoices and a shared client portal — also free to start.
