Design guide

Designing weldments with laser-cut parts.

Use the laser to build the fixture into the parts, and your weldments get faster, cheaper and more accurate.

Tab and slot

Interlocking tabs and slots hold parts in position for tacking. Size slots slightly larger than the tab and stagger tabs along long seams.

Etched locators

Etched lines and part numbers show the welder exactly where each part goes.

Weld access

Leave room for the torch and avoid hidden welds that can't be inspected.

Distortion

Balance welds on both sides of a joint and use stitch welds on long seams to limit warping.

One part number

We cut, form, weld, finish and ship the assembly as one part number.

These are general guidelines. FoxQuote checks every part against our actual machines and tooling, and tells you exactly what to change.

So, what do you want to build?

Send a model, a drawing or a napkin sketch. We'll price the part, the program or the whole product.
