Custom metal fabrication from one-off hardware to repeat assemblies.
West Sound Solutions supports fabrication projects from drawings, CAD models, existing parts, sketches, photos, or functional requirements. Each job is reviewed around fit, material, manufacturability, assembly, finish, quantity, and intended use before fabrication begins.
Build the part around the requirement—not the other way around.
Fabrication planning should consider geometry, material, thickness, tolerance, joining method, finish, quantity, assembly interfaces, maintenance access, inspection needs, and how the component will actually be used.
Custom Components
Brackets, mounts, panels, frames, plates, guards, supports, adapters, enclosures, and other purpose-built components based on project requirements.
Prototype Fabrication
Build early hardware for fit, function, assembly, and installation checks before committing to a repeat fabrication approach.
Cutting & Forming
Plan cutting, bending, forming, and related operations around material type, thickness, geometry, tolerances, and required quantity.
Welding & Assembly
Support joined components and fabricated assemblies where welding, fasteners, hardware, or mechanical assembly are appropriate to the design.
Design for Fabrication
Review bend geometry, joints, weld access, fasteners, interfaces, hardware clearance, material usage, and other practical fabrication constraints.
Finishing & Identification
Plan surface preparation, corrosion protection, paint or coating interfaces, appearance, laser marking, labels, or downstream finishing around the application.
The best fabrication result starts before metal is cut.
Small design changes can affect cost, assembly time, strength, finish, and repeatability. A fabrication review helps identify issues while they are still easy to change.
A controlled path from requirement to finished assembly.
A short design and process review can prevent avoidable rework, especially when the part has mating interfaces, formed geometry, weldments, hardware, or finish requirements.
Understand the job
Review drawings, models, photos, dimensions, quantity, material, intended use, and known critical features.
Choose the approach
Confirm the fabrication sequence, formed features, interfaces, joining, hardware, finish, and inspection requirements.
Build the components
Produce individual parts against the approved information and project requirements.
Fit and join
Complete project-specific welding, fastening, hardware installation, or mechanical assembly where required.
Inspect the result
Check the characteristics identified as important to fit, use, appearance, or final assembly.
The clearer the requirement, the better the fabrication plan.
- Drawing, CAD file, sketch, photo, or sample part
- Material and thickness, if already specified
- Overall dimensions and critical interfaces
- Quantity, prototype needs, and expected repeat demand
- Welding, fastening, hardware, or assembly requirements
- Surface finish, coating, appearance, marking, or corrosion requirements
- Inspection, packaging, labeling, and delivery requirements
- Target schedule and any installation or downstream dependencies
Not production-ready yet?
If the design still needs refinement, West Sound Solutions can review the part as a product development project before fabrication begins.
Product development →Fabrication can become part of a controlled production workflow.
Once a part or assembly is approved, the correct files, material requirements, hardware, fabrication sequence, finish, inspection points, and packaging needs can be tied to that revision. This creates a more reliable starting point for repeat work and makes future design changes easier to manage.
