Getting your parts fabricated has never been easier. Simply follow these five steps:
- Design Consultation: Send us your sketches and/or drawings, and we’ll create a 3D model in CAD software for you at no cost.
- Finishing Touches: Receive a FastMock sample (3D prototype) of your product within one to two weeks.
- Main Production Run: We will quote you the best price for laser cutting, CNC punching, presswork and welding to your specifications.
- Quality Control Verification: All dimensions of your parts will be measured, welds tested under load, and surface finish checked, all in accordance with our documented quality process.
- Finishing Touches and Delivery: We will powder coat or galvanise your parts-to-spec and then send them as expeditiously as possible to you in Nottingham.
Example: A Beeston-based electric vehicle startup needed 50 battery trays. From the first CAD meeting to delivery was only ten days; there was no stress or delays.
The Importance of Precision Engineering in Nottingham Fabrication
Manufacturing is costly, particularly when there are small errors; for example, a misalignment of 0.1 mm can result in production line stoppages or fail safety certification. Therefore, we control our processes digitally, enabling us to provide you with two key assurances:
1) 100% repeatability and accuracy across all batches.
2) Consistency with BS EN ISO 9001 certified quality systems.
