Offerings: Ranging from Custom Prototypes to Manufacturing Runs
From first-article prototypes to steady-state production, FireFoxxAuto LLC grows your metal fabrication capabilities with the same rigor at every stage. You get a systematic process: 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 compromising dimensional accuracy.
Once you're prepared for low volume manufacturing, we fix specifications with revision control, set process parameters, and deploy copyright checks to stabilize throughput. We oversee BOMs, traceability, and lot-level documentation to ensure consistency across repeat orders. For full production runs, we implement standard fixtures and tooling, optimize cycle times, and schedule to your release cadence, guaranteeing reliable delivery, predictable cost, and reliable, compliant parts.
Exact Welding and Close-Tolerance Outcomes
You've finalized specifications and secured consistent throughput; now the joints must meet the same rigor. You need welds that retain dimensional integrity under heat, load, and inspection. We deliver by overseeing arc energy, travel speed, and bead geometry to maintain flatness, squareness, and parallelism across assemblies.
We integrate robotic alignment with fixture repeatability and micro-tolerance calibration at every setup. Vision-guided seam tracking corrects path drift in real time, while pulsed parameters limit distortion and HAZ. For thin-gauge parts, we balance penetration against heat input to eliminate warping; for thick sections, we manage multi-pass sequencing to preserve tolerances.
Every weldments undergo verification with CMM measurements, profilometry, and dye penetrant where required. You obtain reliable, tight-tolerance results that merge smoothly downstream without requiring rework.
Materials and Finishes That Stand Up to Real-World Use
Longevity depends on the right alloy and the right surface system for the environment. You select materials based on load, exposure, and maintenance requirements. For coastal or deicing-salt conditions, specify 316 for excellent stainless steel corrosion resistance; for interiors or mild exposure, 304 performs effectively. When weight is a concern, select 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodize to increase wear resistance. For carbon steel structures, prioritize galvanizing for sacrificial protection, then apply a high-build topcoat.
You dictate finish durability by aligning coating chemistry to service class. Powder coat longevity hinges on substrate prep: SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast, a zinc-rich primer, and a TGIC-polyester topcoat baked to spec. Verify with DFT readings, crosshatch adhesion, and salt-spray testing. Record callouts on drawings to ensure repeatable performance.
Rapid Turnarounds Without Sacrificing Standards
Despite demanding deadlines, you deliver on time by optimizing workflows, not taking shortcuts. You load planning at the start: establish tolerances, pick alloys, finalize tooling, and produce CAM paths that limit tool changes and travel. You stage raw stock, fixtures, and consumables so machines function nonstop. For accelerated prototyping, you unify material thicknesses and bend radii, helping you reuse established setups and efficiently nest parts. You laser-cut blanks, then transition to CNC forming and TIG/MIG weld processes with recorded WPS parameters that maintain strength and finish.
For emergency repair work, you assess the failure point, measure wear surfaces, and engineer replacement components with coordinate measuring machines or laser scanning. You machine critical faces first, confirm using in-process metrology, then assemble and finish. The result: rapid turnaround times without compromising durability or fit.
Honest Pricing and Direct Communication
While scope evolves, pricing should remain stable. You get itemized estimates linked 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 prompts a documented delta with unit, setup, and finish costs separated. No hidden surcharges—shop time, consumables, and outside processes are itemized.
We maintain clear communication protocols that deliver information without unnecessary clutter. We provide milestone-based updates: purchase order approval, material receipt, first-article approval, in-process inspection findings, and ship confirmation including traceable heat lots. A single point of contact, response SLAs, and change-control tickets documenting approvals and timestamps are maintained. We provide CAD markups, weld maps, and CMM reports when requested. Precise data, stable prices, and methodical coordination avoid unexpected issues and rework.
Industries We Support: Contractors, Producers, and DIY Enthusiasts
Once pricing and communication are locked down, we customize metal fabrication to the way you build.
