Industry-Specific Manufacturing
Openex Metal Fabrication supports industrial OEMs and project teams with custom metal fabrication, heavy CNC machining, welding, forming, assembly, and dimensional inspection. We manufacture components and assemblies to customer drawings and project specifications, with production scope determined by part geometry, material, weight, tolerances, inspection requirements, and delivery needs.
Explore the industries below to find relevant applications, typical components, and manufacturing capabilities. If your project spans multiple sectors or does not fit one category, our team can review your drawings and discuss the appropriate manufacturing route.
Each industry has different requirements for component design, material selection, fabrication, machining, inspection, and documentation. Select an industry to explore the relevant manufacturing applications and project considerations.

Share your component drawings and key requirements so our team can review the proposed manufacturing scope. Early technical information helps clarify process selection, inspection needs, and quotation assumptions.
Contact Our TeamIf available, include the following information when requesting a quotation:
2D drawings, CAD files, revision numbers, and critical dimensions.
Material grade, applicable standards, and any required certificates.
Prototype or production quantity, target delivery date, and shipping destination.
Tolerance requirements, inspection plans, NDT needs, and documentation requirements.
Not every item is required to start a discussion. If you have only preliminary drawings or a project description, contact us to discuss the next steps.
Common questions about industry-specific fabrication and machining projects.
Openex presents industry-specific manufacturing information for energy storage, aerospace, cement, chemical processing, construction equipment, energy infrastructure, heavy machinery, industrial automation, infrastructure and bridges, marine and offshore, mining, oil and gas, power generation, pulp and paper, renewable energy, the steel industry, and transportation.
Custom and build-to-print manufacturing can be reviewed against the supplied drawings, materials, tolerances, inspection criteria, quantity, and delivery requirements. Final feasibility and scope depend on the specific project.
Where appropriate, a project may combine cutting, forming, welding, stress relief, CNC machining, assembly, and inspection. The process route depends on component design, material, dimensional requirements, and the agreed scope of supply.
Send available drawings or 3D models, material specifications, quantities, required tolerances, inspection or certification requirements, delivery expectations, and destination. If some details are not yet available, you can still contact the team to discuss the project.
Send your drawings, technical requirements, and project timeline for an initial review of your custom fabrication or machining needs.
