Manufacturing Process

Fabrication

Cutting, forming, welding, assembly and finishing workflow for stainless steel project hardware and custom OEM components.

Process Overview

Fabrication for industrial component production

Cutting, forming, welding, assembly and finishing workflow for stainless steel project hardware and custom OEM components.

Process selection should be confirmed by material, geometry, tolerance, surface finish, quantity, application environment and inspection requirement.

Tolerance Fabrication tolerance depends on sheet/plate thickness, forming route, welding, fixture and project standard.

FAQ

Process selection questions

Can AODSON recommend a process from drawings?

Yes. Send drawings, samples, material, quantity and application details for RFQ review.

Is the same process suitable for every material?

No. Material grade, geometry, tolerance and surface finish determine the suitable process route.

Can casting and machining be combined?

Yes. Many complex parts use casting for shape and machining for critical dimensions.
