Services: From Tailored Prototypes to Production Runs
From first-article prototypes to steady-state production, FireFoxxAuto LLC scales your metal fabrication 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 compresses lead times with in-house cutting, forming, and CNC machining, so you can iterate designs without sacrificing dimensional accuracy.
When you're ready for low volume production, we secure specifications with revision control, determine process parameters, and implement copyright checks to stabilize throughput. We manage BOMs, traceability, and lot-level documentation to ensure consistency across production cycles. For volume production, we create standardized fixtures and tooling, calibrate cycle times, and match your release cadence, providing reliable delivery, predictable costs, and reliable, compliant parts.
Exact Welding and Close-Tolerance Outcomes
You've established specs and achieved stable throughput; now the joints must meet the same rigor. You require welds that maintain dimensional accuracy 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 pair robotic alignment with fixture repeatability and precise calibration at every setup. Vision-assisted 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 maintain tolerances.
Every weldments are verified with CMM inspections, profilometry, and dye penetrant when needed. You get dependable, precision results that merge smoothly downstream without rework.
Materials and Finishes That Withstand Real-World Use
Longevity depends on the right alloy and the appropriate surface system for the environment. You select materials based on load, exposure, and maintenance limitations. For coastal or deicing-salt conditions, specify 316 for superior Stainless 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 control coating durability by matching coating chemistry to service class. Powder coat durability relies on substrate prep: SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast, a zinc-rich primer, and a TGIC-polyester topcoat cured to spec. Confirm with DFT readings, crosshatch adhesion, and salt-spray testing. Document callouts on drawings to lock repeatable performance.
Rapid Turnarounds Without Sacrificing Standards
Even under tight deadlines, you deliver on time by optimizing workflows, not taking shortcuts. You prioritize upfront planning: determine tolerances, pick alloys, establish tooling, and generate CAM paths that decrease tool changes and travel. You stage raw stock, fixtures, and consumables so machines function nonstop. For quick prototyping, you unify material thicknesses and bend radii, helping you reuse established setups and nest parts efficiently. You precision-cut blanks, then shift to CNC forming and TIG and MIG welding with established WPS parameters that safeguard strength and finish.
When handling urgent repairs, you triage the failure, evaluate worn surfaces, and reverse-engineer replacement geometry with coordinate measuring machines or laser scanning. You start with machining the critical faces, confirm using in-process metrology, then assemble and finish. The result: fast cycle times without compromising durability or fit.
Clear Pricing and Open Communication
Though scope evolves, pricing shouldn't. You get itemized estimates anchored in engineering drawings, tolerance classes, and material specs, so pricing transparency is baked into your RFQ. We lock 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 outside processes are enumerated.
Our communication protocols keep you informed without noise. Milestone updates are delivered to you: PO acceptance, materials received, first-article approval, inspection results during production, and shipment confirmation with traceable heat lots. We provide one dedicated contact, defined response SLAs, and change-control tickets that capture 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.
