Metal Fabrication Services: Complete Manufacturing Solutions

How CIC Specializes in Metal Fabrication

At Custom Industrials Company (CIC), we specialize in comprehensive metal fabrication services that transform raw materials into finished components and assemblies. Our metal fabrication capabilities span cutting, forming, bending, and assembly operations, supported by advanced CNC equipment and experienced craftsmen. We deliver complete fabrication solutions from prototype through production, serving industries that demand precision, quality, and reliable delivery.

What Is Metal Fabrication?

Metal fabrication is the process of building metal structures and components by cutting, bending, forming, and assembling raw materials. Unlike machining which removes material, fabrication primarily involves shaping and joining sheet metal, plate, and structural shapes into finished products. Modern metal fabrication combines traditional craftsmanship with CNC-controlled equipment including press brakes, plate rollers, shears, and forming equipment to produce everything from simple brackets to complex assemblies with consistent quality.

Metal Fabrication Capabilities

Our precision metal fabrication services feature:

  • CNC Press Brake – Thin gauge up to 4′ wide
  • Press Brake – 3/8″ thick up to 12′ wide
  • Press Brake – 1/2″ up to 10′ wide, 400 ton
  • Plate Roller – 3/8″ thick up to 6.5′ wide (barrels and rings)
  • Angle/Tube Roller – Rolling rings of tubing, round stock, angle
  • Shear – 1/4″ thick up to 12′ wide for mild steel
  • Edge Rounding Machine

Metal Fabrication FAQ

What materials can CIC fabricate?
We fabricate carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals in sheet, plate, and structural forms. Material thickness ranges from thin gauge sheet metal to 3/8" plate depending on the operation.
What is the maximum size for fabricated parts?
Our press brakes handle parts up to 12' wide, our plate roller creates cylinders up to 6.5' wide, and our shear cuts material up to 12' wide. We can discuss larger fabrications using multiple operations or specialized equipment.
Can CIC handle complete fabrication assemblies?
Yes, we provide complete fabrication services from cutting through welding and finishing. Our integrated capabilities allow us to deliver finished assemblies rather than just individual components, reducing your supply chain complexity.
What tolerances are achievable in metal fabrication?
Fabrication tolerances depend on material, thickness, and operation. CNC press brakes achieve bend angle tolerances of ±0.5° and dimensional tolerances of ±0.010" to ±0.030" depending on part size and complexity.

Quality Assurance for Metal Fabrication

Every CIC fabricated component undergoes:

  • Dimensional verification to drawing specifications
  • Visual inspection for defects
  • Material certification review
  • First article inspection
  • In-process quality checks
  • Final inspection and documentation
