Services: From Custom Prototypes to Manufacturing Runs
From prototype creation through continuous production, FireFoxxAuto LLC scales your metal fabrication with the same rigor at every stage. You get a organized procedure: requirements capture, DFM review, CAD/CAM programming, material validation, and controlled fabrication. Our rapid prototyping compresses lead times with in-house cutting, forming, and CNC machining, so you can refine designs without compromising dimensional accuracy.
As you transition to low volume production, we establish specifications with revision control, define process parameters, and deploy copyright checks to stabilize throughput. We handle BOMs, traceability, and lot-level documentation to ensure consistency across repeat orders. For volume production, we create standardized fixtures and tooling, optimize cycle times, and coordinate with your release cadence, providing reliable delivery, predictable pricing, and repeatable, compliant parts.
Precision Welding and Exacting Tolerance Results
You've finalized specifications and secured consistent throughput; now the joints must meet the same rigor. You require welds that hold dimension under heat, load, and inspection. We deliver by managing arc energy, travel speed, and bead geometry to maintain flatness, squareness, and parallelism across assemblies.
We pair robotic alignment with fixture repeatability and micro-tolerance calibration at every setup. Vision-guided seam tracking corrects path drift in real time, while pulsed parameters minimize distortion and HAZ. For thin-gauge parts, we balance penetration against heat input to prevent warping; for thick sections, we manage multi-pass sequencing to preserve tolerances.
All weldment is verified with CMM measurements, profilometry, and dye penetrant when needed. You obtain reliable, tight-tolerance results that fit seamlessly downstream eliminating rework needs.
Materials and Finishes That Stand Up to Real-World Use
Longevity depends on the right alloy and the appropriate surface system for the environment. You choose materials based on load, exposure, and maintenance limitations. For coastal or deicing-salt conditions, specify 316 for excellent more info Stainless corrosion resistance; for interiors or mild exposure, 304 performs efficiently. When weight matters, select 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodize to increase wear resistance. For carbon steel structures, prioritize galvanizing for sacrificial protection, then apply a high-build topcoat.
You manage coating life by aligning coating chemistry to service class. Powder coat performance relies on substrate prep: SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast, a zinc-rich primer, and a TGIC-polyester topcoat cured to spec. Validate with DFT readings, crosshatch adhesion, and salt-spray testing. Document callouts on drawings to lock repeatable performance.
Quick Delivery Without Cutting Corners
Even under tight deadlines, you achieve milestones by engineering the process, not bypassing protocols. You prioritize upfront planning: validate tolerances, pick alloys, lock tooling, and create CAM paths that decrease tool changes and travel. You organize raw stock, fixtures, and consumables so machines maintain continuous operation. For fast prototyping, you standardize material thicknesses and bend radii, allowing you to reuse validated setups and nest components effectively. You precision-cut blanks, then shift to CNC forming and TIG/MIG weld processes with formalized WPS parameters that safeguard strength and finish.
For urgent repairs, you diagnose the breakdown, measure wear surfaces, and reverse-engineer replacement geometry with laser scanning or CMM. You machine critical faces first, validate through in-process measurement, then finish and assemble. The result: fast cycle times without sacrificing durability or fit.
Straightforward Pricing and Open Communication
Although scope evolves, pricing remains fixed. You get line-by-line estimates tied to engineering drawings, tolerance classes, and material specs, so pricing transparency is integrated into your RFQ. We lock quoted rates to defined revision levels; any change triggers a documented delta with unit, setup, and finish costs separated. No hidden surcharges—facility time, consumables, and outside processes are listed.
Our communication protocols keep you informed without noise. You receive updates at key milestones: PO acceptance, material receipt, first-article approval, in-process inspection results, and ship confirmation with traceable heat lots. A single point of contact, response SLAs, and change-control tickets documenting approvals and timestamps are maintained. CAD markups, weld maps, and CMM reports are available upon request. Transparent data, consistent pricing, and structured coordination eliminate surprises and rework.
