Here’s a manufacturing tip: Aluminum requires its own set of fabrication guidelines, and those guidelines affect decisions about hole design.

Because aluminum requires a larger bend radius to avoid cracking, closely spaced small features may deform during bending. When possible, avoid placing holes or slots within the bend area. When laser cutting, holes should generally be at least as large as the material thickness. For aluminum, we recommend a minimum diameter of 1.5 times the material thickness.

We’ve put together 13 questions we believe you should ask any sheet metal fabrication shop you’re considering. In our latest article, we explain why each question matters and share our own answer. Here’s one example:

Can you create drawings if I don’t have them?
In-house drafting support can turn a concept into the documentation needed for quoting and manufacturing, but not every shop offers this capability.

Baillie Fabricating & Welding provides CAD modeling and drafting services. However, supplying complete files when possible can help customers avoid additional costs.

When one of our customers needed a pressure testing area to protect technicians during valve testing, our team fabricated these custom curtain walls shown in this image. They were built from steel with two layers of polycarbonate material for blast protection.

The panels were mounted to a fabricated modular steel tube structure with concealed mounting brackets utilizing rivet nuts. The access doors featured modular self-closing hinges and lockable latches, and the frame and panels were powder coated before being installed on site.

At Baillie Fabricating & Welding, we offer First Article Inspections (FAI) when we begin a new metal fabrication project. In fact, if a part is complex or we will be handling repeat production runs, we often recommend this service even when a customer doesn’t initially request it.

Even when a design looks perfect on paper, unexpected challenges or unclear requirements may emerge once manufacturing begins. An FAI helps us identify and address these issues early, paving the way for smoother, more cost-efficient production.

We’re about to enter what can feel like the final stretch of the calendar year, and many customers are already looking to year-end deadlines. That can be especially true for companies whose fiscal year-end is just about here.

For projects with especially tight timelines, expedites may be an option in certain circumstances. Availability depends on our current workload and schedule, but we’re always happy to discuss your needs and explore what may be possible.

Our CNC milling capabilities combine with our precision fabrication to help with small production runs, one-off parts, repair work, and more. These expanded capabilities let us complete more work in house, and that gives us more control over lead times and quality.

We're well known for our fabrication, but our capabilities extend into machining and beyond. Learn more about what we offer: https://bit.ly/3NY71AZ

At Baillie Fabricating & Welding, our long history in pharmaceutical fabrication has shaped the way we approach some of the industry’s most demanding details.

Polishing is one example. When a product or powder may contact the surface, pharmaceutical customers may require finer or even mirror-polished finishes to reduce rough areas where material can catch. Over time, we’ve invested in the equipment and experience needed to handle this type of finish work in-house.
