STEP ONE
EXPLORATION
MetalFab Group has worked with a wide variety of clients on an even wider range of projects. Whether you’re an engineer, a buyer, or totally uninitiated to the industry, we make sure to collaborate with you throughout the entire process to ensure that you are comfortable every step of the way.
STEP TWO
QUOTING
After we have an overall idea of the scope of the project, we can begin on the quoting phase. To create a quote we need a dimensional print, which could be something as simple as a sketch on a napkin with dimensions indicated, to a full scale CAD file. We also consider the material (type and thickness) from which the part will be made, as well as the desired quantities of the part. And we will also ensure that we have your contact information (and that you have ours!) so that you can ask us any questions, and we can contact you as soon as we have the quote ready.
Once we have the required specifications we will get you a quote back within 24 hours. We’ll restate the details and give you a price breakdown. Depending on the project type, we might also give options and/or deviations to either reduce cost or improve quality.
At this point it is up to you to either approve and accept the quote, or to call for a re-quote that might call out specific changes, updates or variations.
STEP THREE
ORDERING
Upon approval of the quote, we then move the project to an official order status. Each order is accompanied by a print to which each phase of production will use to measure tolerances and accuracy. In the case that you did not supply a solid model or DXF file for your quote, we can create one for your approval.
Accepted File Types:
> Solid models (CAD files)
> DXF (Flat Parts Only)
STEP FOUR
PRODUCTION
Once your order has been created, we can then move your project into production where we will begin fabrication. Our experienced manufacturing team and our quality control personnel take over from here, working with you to ensure that the finished product meets or exceeds your expectations.
