Fab Masters Company, Inc. offers services to assist you from print to production, including assistance with design for manufacturability, 3D rapid prototyping, complete supply chain management, and contract manufacturing.
A comprehensive print can expedite the quoting process for your extruded aluminum fabrication project and prevent manufacturing mistakes. Your print speaks for your part and should provide all the details needed for production. It should include important information and answer as many potential questions as reasonable. Read more
Design for manufacturability, or design for manufacturing, is a concept often discussed during conversations about saving money. Design for manufacturability can promote time efficiency and waste reduction by considering fabrication during the planning process. For this reason, the design phase, rather than production, is the ideal place to cut costs. When it comes to CNC machining, saving machine time, as well as programming and setup time, means saving money.
Decreasing production lead time is a common and practical aim in manufacturing. While it’s impossible to eradicate all potential issues that can cause unwelcome delays in your project, a number of these situations are preventable, in which the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has control over.
As a fabricator of custom aluminum extruded parts, Fab Masters Company, Inc. strives to maximize efficiency in the manufacturing processes of our customers. Our 30+ years of experience as a contract manufacturing partner has helped teach us areas that could often use streamlining.
Prototyping is an integral part of the manufacturing design process. The advent of 3D rapid prototyping makes it easier and more cost-effective than ever to develop prototypes. You can now prototype faster, more efficiently, and cheaper with Fab Masters.
After searching for countless hours on the internet, and having numerous fruitless conversations with extruders, one of our customers found himself struggling to find an extrusion for an airplane seat track. He asked, “Is there no one out there making a standard extrusion for airplane seat track? I mean – look at all the planes out there, and they all need seat track for securing the seats. Why am I having such a hard time?”
Product designers are the sorcerers of the manufacturing industry. The world of product design is the realm of the imagination, and one needs to possess certain finesse in order to transform an image of the mind’s eye into a viable product. Aside from conception, the functioning product needs to fit into the production system within given economic and schedule constraints.
