Key Features of Our Services
Our team has the necessary insight to help you avoid design and manufacturing pitfalls and take a realistic approach to production. From start to finish, we’ll assist you with our extensive array of product services.
Design
Our goal is to take your idea from concept to reality. At 22 Metalworks, we offer multiple services before production to ensure that you’re getting what you need out of your parts. Our design capabilities include:
- Design services. Whether you already have a rough sketch or simply an idea but aren’t sure how to bring your concept to fruition, 22 Metalworks will be your trusted guide. We’ll ask the right questions to gain an in-depth understanding of your requirements and a part’s intended applications so we can tailor a design to fit your concept.
- Design consultations. If you already have a design, we can offer suggestions to help optimize it for ideal manufacturability, product performance, and more. We look for innovative solutions that will help you create the best product possible per your project specs and budget.
- Prototyping. Prior to investing in a full production run, we aim to save you time and money by first generating a prototype. Upon your approval, we can move forward with manufacturing.
We build an allotment of design time into our rate for each project we work on. Based on your feedback and any in-house or external testing results, we can create various product iterations to assure ultimate satisfaction.
Custom Manufacturing
The 22 Metalworks team specializes in subtractive manufacturing techniques to efficiently and accurately create unique, custom components that satisfy our clients’ needs across diverse markets. With fast turn times, our typical run size is anywhere from 1 to 1,000 parts. Our on-demand manufacturing services include:
- Computer numerical control (CNC) machining. We offer both 3- and 4-axis CNC machining. Our team operates a 4-axis Haas VX4SS for achieving optimal precision and tight tolerances in repeatable parts.
- Waterjet cutting. Allowing for material, thickness, and shape versatility, waterjet cutting quickly and accurately generates clean cuts without requiring tooling changes or risking heat distortion.
- Value-added services. To deliver turnkey services, we also provide fabrication, assembly, and welding, as needed. We offer just-in-time manufacturing to help you meet those tight deadlines, as well.
