Services: Spanning from Tailored Prototypes to Production Runs
From prototype creation through continuous production, FireFoxxAuto LLC expands your metal fabrication operations with the same rigor at every stage. You get a structured workflow: requirements capture, DFM review, CAD/CAM programming, material validation, and controlled fabrication. Our rapid prototyping shortens delivery schedules with in-house cutting, forming, and CNC machining, so you can modify designs without losing dimensional accuracy.
Once you're prepared for low volume manufacturing, we establish specifications with revision control, establish process parameters, and deploy copyright checks to ensure stable throughput. We manage BOMs, traceability, and lot-level documentation to preserve consistency across subsequent runs. For full production runs, we standardize fixtures and tooling, balance cycle times, and match your release cadence, guaranteeing reliable delivery, predictable expenses, and consistent, compliant components.
Exact Welding and Close-Tolerance Outcomes
You've locked specs and stabilized throughput; now the joints must meet the same rigor. You demand welds that retain dimensional integrity under heat, load, and inspection. We deliver by managing arc energy, travel speed, and bead geometry to copyright flatness, squareness, and parallelism across assemblies.
We combine robotic alignment with fixture repeatability and precise calibration at every setup. Vision-assisted seam tracking corrects path drift in real time, while pulsed parameters reduce distortion and HAZ. For thin-gauge parts, we balance penetration against heat input to eliminate warping; for thick sections, we control multi-pass sequencing to preserve tolerances.
Every weldments undergo verification with CMM measurements, profilometry, and dye penetrant as necessary. You obtain reliable, tight-tolerance results that integrate cleanly downstream eliminating rework needs.
Durable Materials and Finishes for Real-World Applications
Long-term performance begins with the right alloy and the correct surface system for the environment. You choose materials based on load, exposure, and maintenance limitations. For coastal or deicing-salt conditions, specify 316 for superior stainless steel corrosion resistance; for interiors or mild exposure, 304 performs well. When weight is important, select 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodize to improve wear resistance. For carbon steel structures, prioritize galvanizing for sacrificial protection, then apply a high-build topcoat.
You manage surface finish life by pairing coating chemistry to service class. Powder coat longevity relies on substrate prep: SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast, a zinc-rich primer, and a TGIC-polyester topcoat baked to spec. Confirm with DFT readings, crosshatch adhesion, and salt-spray testing. Record callouts on drawings to secure repeatable performance.
Speedy Turnarounds Without Cutting Corners
Under pressure from tight schedules, you achieve milestones by optimizing workflows, not taking shortcuts. You prioritize upfront planning: validate tolerances, select alloys, finalize tooling, and build CAM paths that cut down tool changes and travel. You stage raw stock, fixtures, and consumables so machines function nonstop. For speed prototyping, you systematize material thicknesses and bend radii, permitting you to reuse tested setups and efficiently nest parts. You laser-cut blanks, then advance to CNC forming and TIG/MIG fusion with written WPS parameters that safeguard strength and finish.
For urgent repairs, you assess the failure point, evaluate worn surfaces, and engineer replacement components with laser scanning or CMM. You start with machining the critical faces, confirm using in-process metrology, then assemble and finish. The result: quick cycle times without compromising durability or fit.
Honest Pricing and Transparent Communication
Although scope evolves, pricing remains fixed. You get detailed estimates connected to engineering drawings, tolerance classes, and material specs, so pricing transparency is baked into your RFQ. We secure quoted rates to defined revision levels; any change triggers a documented delta with unit, setup, and finish costs separated. No hidden surcharges—production time, consumables, and website outside processes are detailed.
We maintain clear communication protocols that deliver information without unnecessary clutter. You receive updates at key milestones: PO acceptance, materials received, first-article approval, inspection results during production, and shipment confirmation with traceable heat lots. We maintain a single point of contact, response SLAs, and change-control tickets that record approvals and timestamps. We provide CAD markups, weld maps, and CMM reports when requested. Precise data, stable prices, and methodical coordination avoid unexpected issues and rework.
