Custom Fabrication Metal
Custom metal fabrication combining machining, forming, welding and finishing into one accountable supply route.
- ProcessesCNC machining, milling, turning, laser cutting, bending, welding, assembly and finishing
- MaterialsAluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass and copper
- Machining accuracyTolerance 0.005 to 0.01 mm on machined features
- FinishesAnodized, sandblasted, polished, powder coated, electroplated
- InspectionFirst piece, in-process and final inspection
Category: Sheet Metal Fab
Product Overview
Custom fabrication metal covers the parts that do not fit neatly into one process: a machined body welded to a formed bracket, a fabricated frame with machined mounting faces, an assembly that needs cutting, forming, joining and finishing before it is useful.
Choosing Wuxi Lead Precision Machinery means a seamless, quality driven and client focused route through that work, including the use of 4th axis CNC machining alongside fabrication so machined features on a fabricated part are accurate rather than approximate.
Key Benefits
Advanced Technological Integration
Technology including 4th axis CNC machines supports accuracy on fabricated assemblies.
One Accountable Supplier
Machining, forming, welding and finishing under one roof rather than across three vendors.
High Accuracy On Assemblies
Machined features referenced correctly to fabricated structure.
Quick Turnarounds
Coordinated in house scheduling instead of waiting on subcontractor queues.
Application Scenarios and Who It Is For
- Machined and welded assemblies
- Fabricated frames with machined faces
- Prototype metal fabrication
- Industrial equipment components
- Custom enclosures and structural assemblies
If your application is not listed, send the drawing anyway. Most of our work arrives as a part nobody else wanted to quote.

Manufacturing Process and Quality Control
Drawing Review
Our engineers review manufacturability, confirm tolerances and raise anything in the drawing that would cause a problem before production starts.
Sample Approval
Free samples are offered prior to mass production, with first piece inspection recorded against your drawing.
Production Control
In-process inspection at a set frequency during the run, using the coordinate measuring machine and gauges in our inspection room.
Surface Treatment
Anodizing, sand blasting, polishing, electroplating and powder coating applied in house after deburring and cleaning.
Final Inspection
The finished lot is checked against the drawing before packing, with certification issued for the stages you require.
Packing and Delivery
Protective packing appropriate to the part, dispatched within the agreed delivery date.
Customization Options
- Material — specify a grade from our catalog, or describe the function and our engineers will recommend one.
- Tolerance — standard machining tolerance is 0.005 to 0.01 mm; tighter callouts are discussed at quotation.
- Surface finish — anodized, sand blasted, polished, electroplated, powder coated or as machined.
- Marking — laser engraving and CNC engraving for part numbers and logos.
- Quantity — from a single prototype through to long production contracts.
- Certification — certification provided at each stage on request.

Product FAQ
Can you machine a part after welding?
Yes, and for critical mounting faces that is usually the right sequence, because welding distorts the structure before machining sets the final dimension.
Do you supply complete assemblies?
Yes, assembly is part of our process list, so you can receive a finished unit rather than a box of components.
What is the advantage of one supplier for a multi process part?
Accountability. When machining, fabrication and finishing sit in one factory there is nobody to blame for a problem, which changes how problems get solved.
How do I order this part?
Do you offer free samples?
Yes, free samples are offered prior to mass production so you can confirm the part before committing to a run.
