Q.
What types of materials and gauges can AllFab fabricate?
A. We fabricate aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, galvanized/galvaneal
steel, brass, copper, lexan, and plastics, etc. Our “rule-of-thumb”
for material thicknesses are up to 0.250” for punching
and forming, and up to 0.375” for laser cutting. We
also have the capability to punch copper bus-bar material
up to 0.500”.
Q. Specifically, what aluminum thicknesses can you laser cut?
A. Up to 0.125” aluminum.
Q. What steel thicknesses can AllFab

Q. Can AllFab weld different types of
metals?
A. Yes, we have a dedicated manufacturing cell with certified-welding
personnel capable of welding aluminum, stainless steel, steel,
and chem-treated steels, using both TIG and MIG welding centers.
Q. What quality program does AllFab adhere to?
A. We are very proud of our quality personnel and our ISO-9002
registration. Our RAB certification is through our registrar,
American Quality Assessors (AQA).
Q. I am starting a new project and need
to know your tooling list. Where can I access this information?
A. Go to our Tooling Inventory page
and sign up to receive our complete tooling list via email.
Receiving our Tooling List via email insures you of getting
our most up-to-date inventory plus you'll be notified of all
new acquistions.
Q. When I send prints and Pro/E or SOLID
WORKS model files to AllFab, which takes precedent when programming
your equipment?
A. To save time and reduce costs we use the ProE or SOLID
WORKS model files for CNC programming and internal engineering,
therefore these files always take precedent over hard-copy
prints. This ensures your finished part is an exact duplicate
of your 3D model; making simple changes to prints without
changes to your model files may result in inaccurate parts
and assemblies.
