Five Manufacturing Processes That Are A Must For A One-Stop Metal Fabrication Shop

one stop PA metal fabrication shop

As a PA metal fabrication shop, SPEC FAB takes our role in the manufacturing process seriously. Because a successful project demands an array of carefully coordinated processes, we offer a full suite of services that result in superior parts and products for our customers.

Read on to learn more about what we can do at our one-stop metal fabrication shop.

Design

This step is crucial for solving problems and ensuring a smooth manufacturing process. We can start with a ‘back-of-the-envelope’ sketch, finalized CAD files, or anything in between, and then oversee the design of your parts and products.

We use best-in-class software like SolidWorks combined with decades of fabrication experience to draft 2D and 3D drawings of parts while keeping manufacturability in mind. This saves time and money because it gives us the ability to detect potential issues and correct them BEFORE parts go into production.

Prototyping

With extensive experience in creating prototypes, we can take your part or product from the initial concept through final production so you can see it, touch it, and approve it before it’s produced in larger volumes.

In the prototyping process, we assess what raw materials, fabrication processes, and equipment should be used to produce the very best results at the best cost. By enlisting our prototyping services, you can save time and ensure quality when bringing a new product to market.

Metal Fabrication

At our Honey Brook, PA manufacturing campus, we have the equipment, expertise, and resources to handle all metal fabrication processes required for your parts.

Our fabrication services include forming, welding, shearing, CNC milling, laser cutting, plasma cutting, water jet cutting, PEMing, hand processes, and more. With the capabilities to handle all of these essentials, we help save you time and help you keep your projects on budget.

Finishing

Of course after they leave the fabrication line, parts often require additional work to complete them. We can put the finishing touch on your parts with painting, galvanizing, powder coating, polishing, laser engraving, chrome plating, and more.

By providing finishing services in our own shop and at our nearby manufacturing campus, we make sure your parts have the color, strength, and shine to look and perform exceptionally.

Assembly

For optimal efficiency in the manufacturing process, we also offer complete sub-assembly and final assembly services for your products. No matter what volume of products your project entails, our trained technicians have the tools and skills to assemble your parts accurately into finished goods. We’ll even do the packing, crating, and shipping for you. It doesn’t get anymore convenient than that!
