Services
Metal Fabrication
We create custom metal structures and components using advanced fabrication techniques. Our team specializes in structural steel beams, stairs, and handrails for residential and commercial applications. With in-house design and finite element analysis, we ensure durability and precision in every project.
CNC Machining
Our Haas CNC mill produces complex machined parts with tight tolerances. Capable of handling materials up to 2.5 inches thick, we deliver high-accuracy components for industrial machinery and custom projects. This service supports rapid prototyping and large-scale production needs.
Plasma Cutting
Using an 8' x 24' high-definition plasma table, we cut aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel up to 2.5 inches thick. This technology enables precise, beveled-edge cuts for custom parts, reducing waste and ensuring clean finishes for structural applications.
3D CAD Design
Our 20-year-experienced team provides 3D CAD modeling and finite element analysis for stress testing. This service visualizes projects before fabrication, identifies design weaknesses, and generates files for CNC machining or 3D printing metal prototypes.
