For many projects, metal fabrication services go far beyond the actual manufacturing process. Whether it’s the pre-production phase of product development, engineering and design, or the post-production metal finishing and assembly processes, Davenport can support your metal fabrication project from concept to creation.
A Look Inside Our Fabrication Process:
Engineering and Product Development
You can’t fabricate precision products without first undergoing precision engineering and design processes. DMG’s highly skilled and experienced engineers can partner with your team throughout the product development phase.
This close collaboration not only ensures that all specifications are met, it also creates the opportunity to improve your products through design for manufacturability (DFM). In many cases, collaborative DFM will improve both your end product quality and the efficiency of the production process, potentially eliminating unnecessary costs. In either case, we establish an effective path to production that will translate seamlessly to our fabrication department’s specific capabilities.
Custom Fabrication
Once we have established the product design and all production parameters, it’s time to actually fabricate your products. At DMG, our custom fabrication solutions incorporate a wide range of advanced manufacturing technology such as CNC forming systems, laser cutting, and robotic welding. We offer automated lean manufacturing solutions that ensure precision and efficiency throughout the process. From simple brackets to complex large frame weldments, we can fabricate virtually any complex component while maintaining superior quality.
Powder Coating and Finishing
Of course, many custom fabricated products subsequently require powder coating as both a protective finish and for an aesthetic touch. Metal finishing is a crucial part of the overall manufacturing process – the quality of the surface finish can truly make or break the perceived quality of the overall product. That’s why DMG ensures consistent powder coating results for every project that requires it, simplifying your supply chain and removing the hassle of you sourcing a third-party powder coater.
Assembly
DMG completes the fabrication process by offering value-added assembly services. This can provide your project a strategic single-source advantage – a one-and-done manufacturing solution backed by superior quality from start to finish.
