Sub-Services
Metal Cutting
We cut carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using laser, plasma, and saw cutting to produce clean, accurate blanks ready for forming or machining. Parts are nested for material efficiency, kerf is controlled for tight edges, and heat input is managed to keep pieces flat and consistent.
For Denver manufacturers and builders, we support materials from thin sheet to heavy plate across common grades. Our team selects the best cutting method for the thickness and finish needed so downstream bending, welding, and machining stay on schedule.
Typical parts include brackets, gussets, base plates, panels, and sign backers. Fast turn cutting supports both prototype runs and production quantities so you can validate designs quickly and keep lines moving.
Welding
We offer MIG, TIG, flux-core, and stick welding so each part gets the right process for strength and appearance. TIG is used for thin-gauge stainless and aluminum where appearance matters, while MIG and flux-core handle structural components and production throughput.
Joint preparation includes fit-up, bevels where needed, and clean surfaces for sound welds. In-process checks verify bead size, penetration indications, and distortion control so results remain consistent from first article to final piece.
Applications range from structural components and platforms to sealed assemblies, tanks, and machine guards for equipment builders across the Front Range.
Finishing
Available finishes include powder coating, wet paint, anodizing, zinc plating, passivation for stainless, and hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor use. These finishes improve corrosion resistance and appearance so parts last longer in service.
Surface prep includes deburring, cleaning, and media blasting when required. We mask critical areas, verify coverage and thickness where specified, and inspect finish quality before shipment.
Examples include anodized aluminum panels for tech enclosures, zinc-plated brackets for equipment, powder-coated cabinets for indoor use, and galvanized structural parts for commercial construction.
Forming
We form parts to spec on CNC press brakes with precision backgauges and matched tooling. Test bends, fixture setups, and angle verification help us maintain repeatable results and hold bend radii and flatness for accurate assemblies.
We commonly form carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum in sizes that range from small brackets to long panels for OEM and construction needs around Denver. The team aligns material, thickness, and tooling to match your drawings.
Recent projects include brackets for equipment frames, welded frames for machinery guards, architectural panels, and enclosure work that pairs formed skins with stiffeners and hardware.
CNC Machining
Our machining adds tight-tolerance features such as hole patterns, slots, counterbores, and tapped holes. We hold critical interfaces so mated parts align, seals seat correctly, and fasteners install without rework.
Materials include common steels, stainless, and aluminum in sizes suitable for both prototype and production needs for Denver OEMs. We scale setups to match your order size while keeping tolerances steady.
Machined features integrate with fabricated parts to speed assembly. By controlling both fabrication and machining, we reduce extra handling, shorten lead times, and improve fit at final build.
Assembly
We provide in-house mechanical assembly for multi-part builds to reduce vendor handoffs. Subassemblies are built to print, hardware is installed to spec, and components are organized so your team can receive finished units.
Fastener standards are followed per drawings, with torque verification and functional checks such as latch operation, hinge swing, and simple leak checks where required. Documentation can be included with lot and part labels.
Packaging and kitting options include labeled hardware bags, kit boxes by station, protective wrapping, and palletized shipments. Clear labels and parts lists help your crew perform quick line-side installation.

Problems We Solve
Fewer Vendors, Fewer Handoffs
Multiple vendors and handoffs can slow projects and introduce errors. We handle cutting, forming, welding, machining, finishing, and assembly under one roof so schedules stay tight and communication stays clear.
Quality That Prevents Rework
Inconsistent quality causes rework, scrap, and missed deadlines. Our checks at receiving, in process, and final inspection verify dimensions, weld integrity, and finish before parts leave the shop.
Faster Turnarounds and On-Time Delivery
Slow turnarounds stall builds and installations. We plan setups, fixtures, and material flow to shorten cycle times and deliver on the date agreed.
Parts That Fit Your Application
Off the shelf parts often miss critical dimensions or performance needs. We build to your drawings and specs so parts fit correctly, align with mating components, and perform as intended.
