Need metal parts made to your exact specifications? BravoFabs manufactures custom metal components using CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting, welding, and assembly — all under one roof in Dongguan, China. From a single prototype to 10,000+ production units, we deliver precision parts with full inspection reports.
Manufacturing Processes — One Partner, Every Capability
Instead of managing multiple suppliers, get all your custom metal parts from a single ISO 9001 certified manufacturer:
- CNC Machining — 3-axis and 5-axis milling, CNC turning. Tolerances down to ±0.005 mm. Materials: aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, brass, plastics.
- Sheet Metal Fabrication — Laser cutting (up to 20 mm steel), CNC bending, stamping, TIG/MIG welding. Custom enclosures, brackets, chassis, panels.
- Laser Cutting — Fiber laser cutting for precision profiles. Steel up to 20 mm, stainless steel up to 15 mm, aluminum up to 12 mm.
- Welding & Assembly — TIG, MIG, spot welding. Full assembly services including riveting, threading, and hardware installation.
- Surface Finishing — Anodizing, powder coating, passivation, electropolishing, bead blasting, painting (RAL colors).
