Best-fit programs for FWM

FWM is best suited for recurring OEM programs where aluminum fabrication and welding lead the scope, with coordinated machining support, assembly, documentation, packaging, and communication.

  • Recurring aluminum and stainless assemblies
  • Welded aluminum structures and frames
  • Extrusion cutting, machining, welding, assembly
  • OEMs reshoring production to the U.S.
  • Batch production and repeat builds
  • Products requiring assembly, packaging, shipment

Planning your project

Plan your aluminum contract manufacturing program

A useful fabrication quote starts with the finished assembly and the way you plan to order it.

Can welding, machining and assembly be quoted together?
FWM reviews aluminum frames, weldments and extrusion-based assemblies as a coordinated production program. Identify which cutting, forming, welding, machined features, purchased components and packaging you want included so the quote defines the delivered scope.
How should I describe a recurring build?
Separate the first build quantity from expected annual demand and typical release quantities. Include the current drawing revision, any first-article requirements and the required delivery dates. This gives FWM the information needed to review fixturing, inspection and repeat production.
