Metal Manufacturing

Machined, extruded, cast, cut and fabricated — custom metal components in aluminum, zinc, steel, stainless and brass, delivered to print with full material traceability.

Processes

Five core metal processes. One quotation.

Many parts cross processes — an extrusion that gets machined, a casting that gets powder coated. We quote the finished part, not the individual operations.

CNC Machining

3-, 4- and 5-axis milling and turning for prototypes and production. Tight-tolerance features, threads, critical bores — machined complete with in-process gauging.

  • Aluminum
  • Steel
  • Stainless
  • Brass
  • Engineering plastics

Aluminum Extrusion

Custom profiles in architectural and structural alloys — heat sinks, frames, tracks, enclosures. Die tooling, cut-to-length, machining and anodizing coordinated as one program.

  • 6063-T5
  • 6061-T6
  • 6005A
  • Custom dies
  • Mill / anodized

Die Casting — Aluminum & Zinc

High-pressure die casting for complex near-net-shape parts: housings, brackets, hardware bodies. Trim, machine, finish and assemble under one part number.

  • A380
  • ADC12
  • Zamak 3
  • Zamak 5
  • Tooling managed

Laser Cutting & Sheet Metal

Laser-cut blanks, formed brackets, enclosures and chassis in sheet and plate. Bending, hardware insertion (PEM), welding and finishing to a complete assembly.

  • Mild steel
  • Stainless
  • Aluminum sheet
  • Tube & plate

Fabrication & Welding

MIG / TIG welded frames and assemblies with fixturing for repeatability, weld inspection and post-weld machining where flatness matters.

  • MIG / TIG
  • Fixtures
  • Assemblies

Multi-Process Components

The part that needs an extrusion, two machining setups, anodize and assembly? That's our specialty — one PO, one accountable partner, one finished component.

  • Process chains
  • Kitting
  • Sub-assembly

Materials & certification

Buy the alloy, not a promise.

Every metal program ships with material certificates tied to the production lot. Where your drawing calls a standard — ASTM, EN, DIN, JIS — parts are produced and documented against it.

North American buyers love seeing capabilities and materials spelled out. So we spell them out: if a material or tolerance is outside our network's reach, we say so at quotation, not after tooling.
