Frequently Asked Questions

What is Custom Fabrication?

During the custom metal fabrication process, new structures are formed from raw metal materials through the use of tools and equipment that can cut, bend and weld metal to form the desired shape of a product. Working with an experienced manufacturer, together you can develop designs and specifications for your products.

How Does the Custom Metal Fabrication Process Work?

When working with a manufacturer, a pivotal part of the custom metal fabrication process is the design stage. During this stage, customers either have a design completed, or they need to test a prototype to refine their product design. Once the design is complete and a prototype is tested, they can proceed to the router design and production steps in the fabrication process.

How Can I Choose The Best Custom Metal Fabrication Provider?

There are a few factors you should weigh when choosing a custom metal fabricator. First, you need a company capable of meeting your project's specific needs. The second factor is the experience of a manufacturer – this doesn’t just mean number of years in business, but the experience of working with different companies, industries, and specific requirements to ultimately be able to handle projects of varying complexities.

How Long Does a Typical Project Take?

The entire custom metal enclosure fabrication can take 2-4 weeks for most projects, but can vary by complexity. If you have any questions about the custom fabrication process, please call or email us today.
