What is the DXF Marketplace?
TradeCraft Educational Services is building a first-of-its-kind digital marketplace where ag mechanics teachers can buy and sell classroom-ready DXF files for student welding and fabrication projects. Our platform allows teachers to upload original projects and earn passive income every time their file is purchased. Each listing will include a ready-to-cut DXF file, a labeled part breakdown, and materials list—making it easy for other teachers to bring the project into their shop.
TradeCraft takes care of the hosting, marketing, and delivery. If you have a great student-built project with a cut-ready file, we’ll help you turn it into a resource that benefits teachers across the country—and puts money back in your pocket. Up to 70% of each sale!
Turn your existing work into income!
