Happy Labor Day!

Behind every beam, bracket, and build is a team that shows up and does the work. This Labor Day, we're celebrating the skilled hands and hard hats that keep Impact Fab running — welders, fabricators, and everyone in between.

Our shop will be closed Monday, September 7th, in observance of the holiday — back at it Tuesday.

⚾ Team outing done right!

The Impact Fab crew traded the shop floor for the ballpark this week, heading out to cheer on the West Michigan Whitecaps together.

Nothing beats good company, sunshine, and a few innings of baseball to recharge and celebrate the hard work our team puts in every day.

Moments like these remind us that great teams aren't just built on the job — they're built together, on and off the clock.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a great night!

There's a path a lot of young people don't hear enough about.

It doesn't start with a lecture hall. It starts with a shop floor.

At Impact Fab, we've believed for 30 years that a career in the skilled trades is something to be genuinely proud of. Our team runs laser cutters, CNC machines, and water jet systems — and solving problems for our partners.

They're craftspeople. And the work they do matters.

If you know a young person still figuring out their next step, remind them that learning a trade is a real, rewarding, and in-demand career path.

Tag someone who could use the encouragement. ⬇️

New Blog Alert!

Your part looks perfect in CAD. Then the quote comes back twice what you expected.

We see it constantly — parts designed for function, not for how they'll actually be made.

Before you send drawings to any fabricator, run through these 5 checks:

✅ Bend radius — inside radius should equal material thickness for air bending. Tighter radii = custom tooling, added cost, longer lead time.

✅ Fl**ge length — minimum is 5× material thickness. Shorter flanges mean inconsistent bends and higher per-part cost.

✅ Hole placement — holes within 5× material thickness of a bend line will distort. Those perfect circles in CAD come back oval.

✅ Dimensions — program OD (outside diameter) dimensions. Easier for operators to verify against the flat blank.

✅ Material callouts — "18 gauge" means something different for steel vs. aluminum. Be specific.

The best parts aren't fixed after quotes come back high. They're designed with fabrication in mind from the start.
