# Machine Capabilities

> Publish your shop's machines, tooling, and process capabilities so buyers can match work to you accurately.

## Why capabilities matter

Buyers and Vrocure's matching both use your published capabilities to decide whether a job is a fit before you ever see an RFQ. A complete profile means fewer irrelevant requests and a better match rate on the work you actually want.

## What to publish

* **Machines** — category (CNC, sheet metal, forming, additive), envelope, tolerance, materials and processes supported
* **Tooling** — tool type, material and coating, compatible machines, and remaining life-cycle
* **Certifications** — quality and industry certifications, with expiry tracked automatically

## Shop floor status

Machine status can be shown live — running, idle, or offline — so your published capability reflects what's actually available right now, not just what's technically possible on paper.
