- Hardware insertion equipment
We also manage secondary services such as painting, plating, and finishing through trusted partners.
Materials We Work With
Material thickness capabilities vary by process, with most sheet metal fabrication optimized for precision forming and repeatability. We stock and process a wide variety of raw materials in sheet, plate, bar, and tube forms:
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
- Carbon steel
- Galvanized steel
- Copper
We also specialize in cosmetic-grade materials, including brushed stainless steel (#4 finish) with protective laser film.
Quality Assurance & Certifications
We inspect all of our work in-house and can accommodate customer-specific quality and documentation requirements. Our team regularly performs First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR), in-process inspections, PPAP, and provides material and process certifications. We utilize a variety of inspection equipment, including CMM, laser scanning, and handheld instruments. Wisconsin Metal Parts is ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR registered. Our cybersecurity program is compliant with NIST SP800-171, ensuring your export-restricted files remain secure.
Full-Service Fabrication Partner
We can support any stage of your project, including:
- Laser cutting of flat blanks
- Forming and welding
- Integration with machined components
- Hardware installation
- Final assembly
We are optimized for high-mix, medium to high-volume production, while also supporting prototyping and pre-production needs.
Metal fabrication is the process of transforming raw metal materials into finished products through various techniques such as fiber laser cutting, CNC punching, CNC bending, CNC forming, welding, CNC machining, hardware insertion and assembly. Metal fabrication can be done with a plethora of material types and thicknesses, giving it versatility in its applications. This type of manufacturing allows for precision, strength and functionality in the final product while ensuring cost-effectiveness.
Although our lasers can process thicker material, our optimal thickness in steel & stainless steel is 0.060”.
We also can process aluminum up to ¾” and copper up to 3/16” thick. We have cut up to 1” Steel but prefer the cut off to be 3/8”
We have agreements in place where we process and ship orders within 3 days, while others might take 2-4 weeks. It depends on the materials needed and if there is any painting or plating involved. With some good planning, we can work out a delivery schedule that meets your needs.
We can do low volume prototyping, usually as pre-production runs. However, repetitive volume is what fits our equipment best since everything is CNC controlled and we have material handling automation. While this takes slightly longer to set up, we make up for it with speed and repetitive accuracy.
Absolutely! We have a full complement in our Fabrication department and a full-service CNC department for milling and turning.
We have several CMM’s, including a Romer Arm. We also have a Virtek Laser Scanner that quickly inspects flat patterns in a matter of seconds.
