The Process of Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication

At Red River Precision, we take pride in offering a seamless and efficient fabrication process, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards. Here's how we turn your concept into a reality:

1. Design and Engineering

Our process begins by working closely with clients to understand their specific requirements. Our engineering team uses advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software to develop detailed 2D and 3D models. These models serve as precise blueprints for the manufacturing process, ensuring that every detail is accounted for.

2. Material Selection

We offer a wide range of materials, from lightweight aluminum to durable stainless steel and other metals. The choice of metal depends on the specific application, whether it's for a structural component, a decorative piece, or an industrial part. Our experts help clients choose the right material based on strength, weight, and corrosion resistance.

3. Cutting

Our cutting processes are designed to maximize precision and minimize waste. Using state-of-the-art equipment, including laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting systems, we can craft complex designs from raw metal sheets with extreme accuracy. These methods ensure clean cuts and efficient use of material, regardless of thickness.

4. Forming

Once the sheet metal is cut, we begin the forming process, which involves shaping the metal into its final design. This can include:

• Bending: Using press brake machines, we create precise bends to match your design specifications.
• Rolling: Ideal for cylindrical or curved shapes, we use rolling machines to achieve the desired contour.
• Stamping and Deep Drawing: These processes allow us to add detailed features or create hollow parts, ideal for enclosures or containers.

5. Welding and Joining

Our skilled technicians use a variety of welding techniques, including TIG and MIG welding, to seamlessly join components. For applications where welding isn't required, we offer alternative fastening options such as rivets, bolts, and screws. Spot welding is also available for projects that require multiple sheets to be fused together at specific points.

6. Finishing

We understand the importance of delivering not only functional but aesthetically pleasing products. Our finishing services include:

• Deburring: Removing any sharp edges to ensure a smooth surface.
• Polishing: Achieving a refined surface finish that enhances both appearance and functionality.
• Powder Coating and Plating: We offer powder coating for protective and decorative finishes, as well as plating options for added durability.

7. Quality Control

Quality is at the core of our operation. Each product undergoes rigorous quality checks, ensuring that it meets the precise dimensions, strength, and finish requirements before it is delivered to the client.
