Trades
Concrete & Masonry
- Concrete volume calculator3DSlab, round column or square column: enter the size and get the cubic yards to order, checked in 3D.
- Concrete for any shape3DShape the pour to your real measurements — drag or type the corners — and get the exact volume to order, in 3D.
- Tape measure calculatorFeet, inches and fractions to 1/64: add, subtract, multiply, split a length into equal parts or see how many pieces fit.
- Slope & grade meterLay your phone flat on the surface to read the grade — or type a rise and run by hand. Works for driveways, drains, ramps, and grading.
Carpentry & Framing
- Stair calculator3DEnter the floor-to-floor height and tread depth to get step count, riser height, angle and stringer length, code-checked in 3D.
- Rafter calculatorGive it the pitch and building span to get the common rafter length, overhang tail, stock length and plumb-cut angle.
- Wall framing takeoffCount studs and plates for a wall — corners, T-intersections and openings included — with every line of the count shown.
- Deck boards & joistsCount the deck order the way the yard sells it: joists, decking by stock length with the gap included, and screws.
- Joist & rafter span checkerSay what the member is, how far it spans and its spacing, and see which No. 2 lumber sizes the IRC span tables allow.
- Deck beam sizerEnter the joist span, beam material and post spacing, and see which 1, 2 or 3-ply beam the IRC allows (Tables R507.5).
Industrial Electrical
- Industrial electrical calculator3DThree industrial checks: 3-phase voltage drop, line current from kVA, and a motor's full-load amps with breaker and wire.
- Motor circuit designerPick the motor and get the full NEC Article 430 branch circuit, drawn as a one-line — tap any element to see the code path.
- Motor circuit troubleshooting trainerA three-wire starter with a hidden fault and a voltmeter: place your leads, work the panel, and name the fault.
Automation & PLC
- PLC signal scalingConvert between wire signal, raw ADC counts and engineering units — plus the slope and offset for your scaling block.
- Ladder logic simulatorThe classic plant-floor circuits running a real scan: pick one, flip the inputs, and watch power flow through the rungs.
- Ladder logic builderWire real devices into rungs — contacts, latches, timers, counters — and watch them run on a live scan. Share the link and your circuit arrives running.
- PLC troubleshooting trainerA machine with a hidden field fault and the ladder online: work the panel, compare what the PLC sees with the machine, and name it.
Industrial Robotics
Industrial Maintenance
- Pulley & gear ratioBelt or gears: enter driver and driven sizes and get the ratio, output speed, torque multiplication and belt length.
- Bolt torque calculatorFrom bolt grade and size to the wrench setting, dry or lubricated — SAE grades in ft·lb, ISO classes in N·m.
- Shaft alignment (rim & face)Enter your rim and face dial readings and three distances to get the shim change at each foot, graded against field tolerance.
Plumbing
- Drain slope calculatorPick the pipe and the run to get the code-minimum slope and the total fall as a fraction you can mark on the level.
- Water pressure & elevationEnter the pressure at the meter and the fixture height to see what pressure arrives, and when code requires a regulator.
- Drain pipe sizingCount the fixtures on the line and the type of run, and read the minimum drain size straight off the IPC dfu tables.
Students
Arithmetic & Fractions
Algebra I & II
Geometry
Professionals
Finance & Accounting
- Estimate & Invoice StudioEstimates and invoices with your logo, color and header style, discounts and deposits — updating live, ready to print or PDF.
- Loan amortization calculatorEnter the loan and see each payment split into principal and interest — and what the loan really costs by the end.
- Compound interest calculatorSet the rate, the years and an optional monthly contribution, and watch compound growth pull away from simple interest.
Teaching
- Worksheet generatorPick a topic, difficulty and count, and get a print-ready worksheet with its answer key — shareable by link.
- Grade calculatorEnter your weighted categories and the scores you have, and see your current grade and what you need on the rest to hit a target.
- Rubric builderBuild weighted criteria, pick a scale and score the work — and see what your scale really rewards. Prints as a clean scoring sheet.
Physics
- Projectile motion simulator3DSet launch speed, angle and height to get range, peak height and flight time from exact kinematics — then scrub along the arc.
- Vector field explorer3DPick one of seven classic fields, read its divergence and curl at any point, and ride a streamline through the flow.
- Pendulum lab3DSet the length, release angle and gravity, and compare the exact period with the small-angle formula from class.
Mathematics
Art
- Color theory explorerPick a color and see its harmonies as geometry on the color wheel, with exact RGB, HSL and hex values and a WCAG contrast check.
- Perspective explorerDrag a box or tilt the camera and see where its vanishing points really land — computed from true central projection, not drawn by eye.
- Golden ratio explorerWatch the golden rectangle build itself, divide a canvas at the golden section, and compare it honestly with the rule of thirds.
