The process from idea to final product usually
involves numerous steps. However, our clients know, if needed, a
cocktail napkin sketch is all we really need to get started. Below are the steps we follow - Ideas To Reality
- Our Process. Design
and Engineering Our design and engineering
team takes pride in developing innovative and imaginative
solutions that address metal manufacturing challenges.
Show us a metal component, a napkin sketch, or a couple
of CAD files and we'll determine what it takes to recreate
your idea in metal. This is the stage where costs and time frames are
nailed down. Estimates are calculated quickly. Need
to see a sample or have a one-of-a-kind job? We'll whip
it up in the Prototype Shop - the place where ideas
are born. Traditional Know-How and Cutting Edge Technology We have ten design engineers, who collectively have
over 180 years in metal application experience. Our
chief quality assurance officer has worked for over
30 years in both the government and the private sector. Our engineers use the latest in computer-aided design
software and equipment. Resources include state-of-the-art
Pro-Engineer 3-D and AutoCAD solid modeling software
systems that support direct links to CNC equipment,
have an interface for DXF and IGES formats, and can
output via an electrostatic plotter. This is what goes on in
our shop. We operate over 150 metal fabrication machines on
our premises to develop your individual project - including
the brand new Strippit Helios Laser Cutter, the most
advanced piece of metal working equipment available.

overall project costs and to improve the quality of
finished goods. Fabrication Welding
& Assembly It's man vs. machine, and
you're the winner. We have a total of 18 stations performing
TIG and MIG welding - all manned by skilled welders
providing an unsurpassed level of quality. We also offer complete or partial assembly services,
including:
just to name a few. The many faces of metal. Blast it. Take your pick. We offer practically every imaginable
type of finish to achieve exactly the look you want
for your project. Some of the common finishes include:

Delivery
& Inventory Management Whether we're sending it
to you only once, or if we deliver to you every week
for your just in time inventory program, you can count
on us for reliable and fast delivery. We own and operate a trucking fleet that is experienced
in handling metal shipments. Our goal is to accommodate
the product according to product specifications or whatever
is required. We also offer the Air Ride method of shipping
Less Than Load (LTL) freights. If you run a lean inventory program, such as JIT,
our inventory management specialists can develop a plan
that keeps OEM products arriving in concert with everything
else.
