For professional welders

Your settings, your papers, your record — squared away

You already know how to weld. ArcForge handles the bookkeeping that comes with the trade: the machine settings you’ll want back, the qualification dates that can’t slip, and an honest second look at your practice welds.

The toolkit

Tools that earn their place in your pocket

No homework, no classroom — just the parts of ArcForge built for someone already on the clock.

Your settings book, digitized

The Weld Log keeps every machine setup — process, wire, gas, volts, amps, preheat — saved and searchable. Found the numbers that worked on that 3/8 in vertical-up six months ago? One tap on “use these settings again” and you’re set up.

Your papers, tracked

Log each weld test and credential you hold: what it covers, when it expires, and how often you have to weld to keep it in continuity. ArcForge counts down the days and tells you plainly what needs attention — no more finding out a date passed last month. Attach the paperwork itself, too: test reports and continuity logs stay private to you, and a document on file is labeled exactly that — never presented as a certification.

A second set of eyes

Photograph a practice or warm-up weld and get structured visual feedback: what looks strong, what might need work, and how confident the AI is about each call. It’s educational guidance for your own bench — never a code inspection, and never a substitute for a CWI.

Keep sharp

Certification-prep study tracks for the next test you’re eyeing, plus a defect library that explains visible clues and likely causes in plain language. Useful when you’re moving to a new process or brushing up before a requalification.

A passport for your skills

One shareable page built from your real record — qualifications, competencies, the work you choose to show. You pick the sections, the link expires when you say so, and every item is labeled for what it is: self-reported stays self-reported, instructor-verified says who verified it, and an employer you weld for can verify what they saw. Opt in and shops can find you by skill — never before.

Your gear and your keeper settings

Keep a private list of your machines and torches — serial numbers visible to you alone — and save named settings presets. Capture “the setting that worked” straight from a log entry and pull it back up on the next job.

Apprentice hours that hold up

Logging hours toward a program? Date them, categorize them, and request signoff from an instructor on the platform. Signed entries lock so the record stays credible — and the whole log exports to CSV.

Shop math on tap

Heat input, travel speed, plate weight, filler estimates, duty cycle, fraction and unit conversions, plus look-up tables. Runs instantly on your device — nothing sent, nothing saved. Reference guidance, not a procedure.

Privacy

Your welds are your business

Weld photos are analyzed and discarded by default — stored only if you choose to save a photo to your private record, and you can remove it anytime.

Saving a photo is your call, per photo

By default each photo exists just long enough to produce the analysis, then it’s gone — what we keep is the structured result and the settings you typed in. Flip “Save this photo to my record” on a submission and that one photo is kept, private to you alone, removable whenever you like.

Straight talk about what AI can see

A photo shows a surface. The AI speaks in likelihoods, shows its confidence, and never claims code compliance, penetration, or structural soundness. You’ve sat through enough inspections to know the difference — so does ArcForge.

The details live in the privacy policy and the AI analysis disclaimer.

Plans

On your own dime? Pro fits

Pro is the plan built for working welders on their own dime: 100 AI analyses a month for heavy practice or test-prep pushes, exportable reports, and the full study library — with the weld log and qualification tracking included on every plan. Start free and see if it earns the upgrade.

AI feedback is educational guidance only and does not replace a qualified inspector or your code body.
