Truly effective metal fabrication services go far beyond the actual manufacturing of the products.
Of course cutting, forming, machining, welding, etc. all form the core of the fabrication process. However, combining those manufacturing capabilities with design expertise is also crucial in order to optimize your products and keep costs in check. Furthermore, there’s a long list of required post-production services and supply chain management strategies which are equally as important to the success of your overall project.
At S&W Metal, we go above and beyond fabricating metal products. Our end-to-end manufacturing services include complete product development assistance and design for manufacturability, as well as various post-production services.
Adding Value to Your Contract Manufacturing Project From Design to Delivery
Engineering and Design
In coordination with our full-service fabrication and machining services, S&W assists customers in the initial engineering and designs stages of their projects.
We bring additional value to our customer partnerships by providing engineering feedback on optimizing designs for manufacturability. In some cases, we can engineer ways to reduce costs through part consolidation, dimensional changes, or identifying potential fitment problems before they reach production.
Custom Prototyping and Iterative Development
After your design is finalized, many of S&W’s projects require a prototyping phase before transitioning to production. The prototyping process creates samples of the final product to validate the design and functionality while ensuring all specifications are met.
Coating and Surface Treatment
We offer our customers end-to-end contract manufacturing services – from engineering and fabrication all the way to finishing, coating, and assembly. Our integration of blasting and part finishing processes allows us to streamline your project from start to finish. We offer a full range of coating and surface treatment options to meet each customers’ unique requirements in protection, performance, and aesthetics.
