Quality control (QC) inspections are essential for all parts, not just those with tight tolerances. At Baillie Fab, we’re committed to giving our customers superior-quality parts the first time—no delays, no rejections, and no waste!

Whether your part has been discontinued or the waiting period for a replacement is impractical, Baillie Fabricating & Welding’s reverse engineering experts can step in to fill the void. Here are a couple of case studies highlighting our reverse engineering services.

At Baillie Fabricating & Welding, we’re known for sheet metal fabrication. You may not know that we also offer CNC milling and manual machining services, blending sheet metal craftsmanship with an ever-expanding selection of manufacturing solutions.

Baillie Fabricating and Welding’s capabilities wouldn’t be complete without hole tapping, thread forming, and hardware integration services. Further enhancing our assembly solutions, our shop floor even boasts an automated fastener-insertion machine for installing PEM® products in-house.

Our full-service shop can handle any job—even those with requirements outside our scope of expertise. How do we do it? We bring in one of our powerhouse vendor partners. The Baillie Fab team offers start-to-finish in-house and outsourced solutions for these premium services and beyond.

At our Pennsylvania metal fabrication shop, nesting is one of our go-to solutions for ensuring optimized laser cutting services for a wide range of sheet metal parts.

Every job at Baillie Fabricating & Welding begins with an RFQ—the “request for quote” that kick-starts a project. When a customer’s RFQ doesn’t include complete information, however, our team can’t accurately calculate costs or determine lead times. And we certainly can’t initiate any cutting, forming, fabrication, or CNC machining services.

Thinking of using stainless steel for your part? You have many options regarding the material’s finish.

Stainless steel is available in various finishes, and we can perform additional polishing or graining to achieve the desired appearance. Here, we’ll look at the most popular finishes and share how we transform sheet metal into high-quality stainless steel parts.

Designing your part with the laser cutting process in mind can result in improved quality, better aesthetics, reduced costs, and a faster turnaround.

Implement these Design for Manufacturing (DFM) best practices, and our Pennsylvania metal fabrication shop will deliver a top-notch manufacturing experience!

When you submit a Request for Quote (RFQ) to Baillie Fabricating and Welding, there are two files you should always remember to upload: a 3D model and 2D CAD file.

Unfortunately, many customers send us only a PDF of their part and don’t include a 3D or 2D CAD file. No offense to PDFs, but these files simply don’t provide all the information we need to build a proper quote and, with your approval, make your parts.

Certain design decisions can make your sheet metal fabrication project cost more and take longer to complete; some even diminish the quality of a part. To avoid these pitfalls, we recommend Design for Manufacturing (DFM) solutions that optimize your design for faster, more cost-effective, higher-quality sheet metal fabrication.

TIG welding is a true art form, a challenging arc welding procedure that creates incredibly clean, precise welds that meet even the most stringent standards for industries like medical, food and beverage, and defense.

There are several ways to cut sheet metal. But when you need the cleanest cuts and most consistent results, laser cutting is the superior solution, producing better results than even waterjet or plasma cutting.
