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.
