Services: Ranging from Custom Prototypes to Production Runs
From first-article prototypes to steady-state production, FireFoxxAuto LLC expands your metal fabrication operations 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 modify designs without compromising dimensional accuracy.
When you reach the low volume production stage, we lock specifications with revision control, determine process parameters, and introduce copyright checks to maintain stable throughput. We handle BOMs, traceability, and lot-level documentation to ensure consistency across repeats. For full-scale manufacturing, we implement standard fixtures and tooling, calibrate cycle times, and align with your release cadence, providing reliable delivery, predictable pricing, and reliable, compliant parts.
High-Precision Welding and Tight-Tolerance Achievements
You've finalized specifications and secured consistent throughput; now the joints must meet the same rigor. You demand welds that hold dimension under heat, load, and inspection. We deliver by controlling arc energy, travel speed, and bead geometry to ensure flatness, squareness, and parallelism across assemblies.
We combine 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 minimize distortion and HAZ. For thin-gauge parts, we balance penetration against heat input to avoid warping; for thick sections, we control multi-pass sequencing to preserve tolerances.
Every weldments are verified with CMM inspections, profilometry, and dye penetrant as necessary. You obtain consistent, tight-tolerance results that integrate cleanly downstream without requiring rework.
Materials and Finishes Built for Real-World Use
Durability starts with the right alloy and the right surface system for the environment. You choose materials based on load, exposure, and maintenance requirements. For coastal or deicing-salt conditions, specify 316 for superior stainless steel corrosion resistance; for interiors or mild exposure, 304 performs efficiently. When weight is a concern, select 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodize to enhance wear resistance. For carbon steel structures, prioritize galvanizing for sacrificial protection, then apply a high-build topcoat.
You dictate coating lifespan by pairing coating chemistry to service class. Powder coat longevity relies on substrate prep: SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast, a zinc-rich primer, and a TGIC-polyester topcoat cured to spec. Verify with DFT readings, crosshatch adhesion, and salt-spray testing. Document callouts on drawings to guarantee repeatable performance.
Swift Turnarounds Without Taking Shortcuts
When facing strict deadlines, you maintain schedules by engineering the process, not taking shortcuts. You front-load planning: determine tolerances, select alloys, establish tooling, and develop CAM paths that limit tool changes and travel. You prepare raw stock, fixtures, and consumables so machines maintain continuous operation. For rapid prototyping, you normalize material thicknesses and bend radii, letting you reuse established setups and efficiently nest parts. You laser-machine blanks, then transition to CNC forming and TIG/MIG fusion with written WPS parameters that preserve strength and finish.
For emergency repair work, you diagnose the breakdown, measure wear surfaces, and reverse-engineer replacement geometry with coordinate measuring machines or laser scanning. You begin by machining critical surfaces, validate through in-process measurement, then assemble and finish. The result: quick cycle times without compromising durability or fit.
Transparent Pricing and Clear Communication
Although scope evolves, pricing remains fixed. You get line-by-line estimates linked to engineering drawings, tolerance classes, and material specs, so pricing transparency is embedded in your RFQ. We fix quoted rates to defined revision levels; any change prompts a documented delta with unit, setup, and finish costs separated. No hidden surcharges—facility time, consumables, and outside processes are enumerated.
We employ communication protocols designed to keep you informed while eliminating noise. Milestone updates are delivered to you: purchase order acceptance, material receipt, first-article approval, in-process inspection results, and shipping 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. Transparent data, consistent pricing, and structured coordination eliminate surprises and rework.
