Metal
Fabrication

Yes. Floe Thermoforming runs manual and automated welding, bending, and metal assembly as part of its integrated manufacturing stack, so OEM programs that combine metal and thermoformed plastic are built by one supplier, with one set of quality records and no inter-vendor handoffs between the metal and the plastic.

What it is

Metal Fabrication, explained

Most large OEM assemblies aren't all-plastic. A thermoformed panel mounts to a welded frame; an enclosure needs a fabricated bracket. Floe Thermoforming keeps that metal work in-house, manual and automated welding, bending, and assembly.

Keeping metal and plastic under one roof means the part that forms and the structure it mounts to are engineered and built together, not quoted by two vendors who never talk.

When to use it

Choosing the right process

Metal fabrication on the same floor as forming removes the seam where mixed assemblies usually fail.

vs Separate Metal Shop
No inter-vendor freight, lead time, or fit-up surprises between the metal and the plastic.
vs Plastic-Only Formers
The frame, bracket, and panel are engineered and built together.
vs Manual-Only Welding
Automated welding adds repeatability at production volume where it counts.
FAQ

Questions OEM engineers ask

What metal fabrication does Floe Thermoforming offer?

Manual and automated welding, bending, and metal assembly, integrated with thermoforming and CNC machining on the same floor.

Can you build mixed metal-and-plastic assemblies?

Yes. That's a core reason OEMs use Floe Thermoforming, the thermoformed part and the metal structure it mounts to are engineered and built by one supplier.

Do you offer automated welding?

Yes, alongside manual welding, so the right method is matched to the part and the production volume.

Is metal fabrication managed in the same program?

Yes, one program manager owns the full assembly, metal and plastic alike.
