SMART Fabrication

The Problem

Outsourcing can feel like a black hole. You send a drawing, hope for the best, and pray it fits when it shows up. Missed specs, miscommunication, and “tribal knowledge” gaps kill trust—and timelines.

That’s where we come in.

Outsourcing fabrication doesn’t mean losing control. With SMART Fabrication, you get the structure, communication, and documentation you’d expect in your own shop—without adding overhead.

We quote smart, build right, and keep you looped in from first article to final shipment.

The SMART Fabrication Difference

SMART Fabrication is how we build outsourced parts without the chaos. We bring structure, documentation, and transparency to every project, so OEMs can scale fabrication while protecting their standards.

You get:

First Article Confidence

Review and approve the first piece before production runs.

Revision Control

Every change logged, tracked, and tied to your job.

Real-Time Updates

We flag issues early, solve fast, and keep things moving.

Traceability in JobBOSS²

Photos, certs, and inspection history for easy reorders

What We Fabricate

Low- to mid-volume components and assemblies for OEMs, MRO, and industrial service teams—especially where documentation is missing or parts are legacy.

Brackets, guards, and frames

Welded subassemblies and structural parts
Retrofit and spare parts for OEM service programs
Prototype-to-production transitions for low-volume builds
Pair SMART Fabrication with SMART Stock to keep critical spares on hand.

How It Works

Our SMART process gives you visibility from quote to shipment.

1.

Quote Smart

We ask the right questions, not just for price, but for function.

2.

Document It

Lock down specs, materials, and finishes before cutting metal.

3.

First Article Inspection (FAI)

You approve the first piece; we don’t move until you’re good.

4.

Build + Communicate

Transparent updates at every milestone.

5.

Trace + Reorder

Every detail documented in JobBOSS² for repeat runs.

Built for OEM Spare Parts

If you manage an installed base, you know the pain of inconsistent spares.  Our low volume prodcution allows us to produce your parts and stock them for you. 

SMART Fabrication ensures every part is built the same way—every time—and tied to your documentation and serials.

Add SMART Stock to create a complete OEM support loop for tens or hundreds: build it right, stock it smart.

Case Example

Customer:
Midwest OEM, heavy equipment.

Challenge:
Retrofit weldment with no drawing data and retiring lead engineer.

Solution:
We reverse-engineered the part, closed the tolerance gaps, and built a new documented drawing set. The first article revealed a functional issue—corrected before production.

Result:
Four part variants now live in JobBOSS² with clean traceability and ready reorders.

Shaft Fabrication

What "Control" Looks Like

  • Shared visibility and check-ins (your way: email or call)
  • Tracked revisions and materials
  • FAI checklist and documentation for repeatability
  • Everything tied into JobBOSS² for next time

FAQ

Nope. We can help reverse-engineer or fill in missing details.

Yes—we provide blasting and paint.  If you are looking for  powder coat, zinc, black oxide, or something else, we have partners that can help.

That’s our wheelhouse. We thrive on complex, limited-quantity fabrication.
