We design and fabricate sheet metal parts and components for OEMs across the country, utilizing lean manufacturing principles at every stage of the process. From traditional metal fabrication to 3D laser welding and rapid prototyping, Estes is your one-stop-shop for sheet metal projects from conception to production.
Estes Max Velocity
Estes Max Velocity is a fully-automated sheet metal fabrication cell. Through the use of advanced technology, every machine in the cell is fully automated, boosting efficiency beyond that of traditional cell manufacturing. Max Velocity maximizes uptime and improves part accuracy and consistency while reducing lead times.
3D Laser Welding: Reduce Costs, Increase Speed
Estes’ 3D Laser Welding could help you do both. With minimal finishing time required, the 3D Laser Welding is ideal for a more cost-effective design and efficient process…it’s up to 10 times faster than MIG welding and 40 times faster than traditional TIG welding.
