Our Method

Can it be done? Definitely.

Combining expertise with state of the art equipment and software we are able to design and fabricate one of a kind pieces to fit your style. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide exceptional customer service and quality control measures on each of our projects – no matter the size or complexity. Our work is a function of imagination and superior craftsmanship.

In addition to our design capabilities, we coordinate getting your pieces to secondary processors for industrial coatings, powder coating, or specialized techniques like grinding or EDM cutting. We also provide hardware procurement and assembly when requested.

Water Jet Cutting

We cut aluminum, steel, and stainless steel parts for both artistic and industrial customers. Our Mitsubishi water jet can handle material up to 10 feet wide by 6 feet tall by 4 inches thick. We cut aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel as well as some plastics. A 60 horse power pump gives our machine up to 55,000 psi at the cutting nozzle.

3D and 2D Design

Fully realized designs can be evaluated in 3D before cutting any metal; allowing us to be as cost efficient as possible when buying material. The current modeling software we utilize is Solid Works, and having our team utilize the same software in all aspects of production means after the design phase is complete, a project can be broken down into individual pieces by different team members and moved directly into other software packages for production on the mill, lathe, or water jet.

Signs and simple projects can be designed in 2D to assure design intent. This gives appropriate details and the ability to submit the design to our customers for approval before production.

CNC Machining

More precise than manual machining, our CNC machines can duplicate the same precise cut in the same manner over and over again. With this precision, our CNC can produce complex shapes that would be almost impossible to achieve with manual machining. MasteCAM is the software of choice for communicating with the machines. Designs are imported directly from our design software, from customer provided files, or manually generated in MasterCAM.

Metal Fabrication / Welding

Cutting, grinding, fixturing and welding are all processes we use in fabrication. Projects range from decorative furniture, chandeliers, custom vent hoods, and commercial signs.

We work with Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel and use TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) processes primarily and have an Oxy Acetylene gas torch and an arc welder for the odd job which require them. Cutting tools range from the water jet to cut off wheels to a hand held plasma torch. We have a four foot long box and pan break for light bending.

Tools and Software Used

We use only the most progressive equipment and software available and it’s expertly maintained. You’re only as good as your tools will allow, so we maintain our equipment to the highest standards.
