Services: From Tailored 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 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 iterate designs without sacrificing dimensional accuracy.

As you transition to low volume production, we fix specifications with revision control, establish process parameters, and deploy copyright checks to stabilize throughput. We handle BOMs, traceability, and lot-level documentation to sustain consistency across subsequent runs. For full production runs, we standardize fixtures and tooling, balance cycle times, and align with your release cadence, ensuring reliable delivery, predictable costs, and reliable, compliant parts.

Precision Welding and Tight-Tolerance Results

You've finalized specifications and secured consistent throughput; now the joints must meet the same rigor. You need welds that preserve dimensions under heat, load, and inspection. We deliver by regulating arc energy, travel speed, and bead geometry to copyright flatness, squareness, and parallelism across assemblies.

We pair robotic alignment with fixture repeatability and micro tolerance calibration at every setup. Vision-assisted 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 oversee multi-pass sequencing to maintain tolerances.

Each weldments undergo verification with CMM checks, profilometry, and dye penetrant where required. You receive consistent, tight-tolerance results that fit seamlessly downstream eliminating rework needs.

Materials and Finishes That Stand Up to 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 constraints. For coastal or deicing-salt conditions, specify 316 for superior stainless steel corrosion resistance; for interiors or mild exposure, 304 performs well. When weight matters, select 6061-T6 aluminum and hardcoat anodize to improve wear resistance. For carbon steel structures, prioritize galvanizing for sacrificial protection, then apply a high-build topcoat.

You manage coating lifespan by matching coating chemistry to service class. Powder coat performance hinges on substrate prep: SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast, a zinc-rich primer, and a TGIC-polyester topcoat baked to spec. Confirm with DFT readings, crosshatch adhesion, and salt-spray testing. Record callouts on drawings to guarantee repeatable performance.

Quick Delivery Without Cutting Corners

Under pressure from tight schedules, you maintain schedules by systematizing procedures, not bypassing protocols. You begin with comprehensive planning: determine tolerances, pick alloys, fix tooling, and create CAM paths that reduce tool changes and travel. You arrange raw stock, fixtures, and consumables so machines work uninterrupted. For accelerated prototyping, you standardize material thicknesses and bend radii, helping you reuse validated setups and nest components effectively. You precision-cut blanks, then transition to CNC forming and welding with TIG/MIG with formalized WPS parameters that preserve strength and finish.

For urgent repairs, you triage the failure, evaluate worn surfaces, and reverse-engineer replacement geometry with coordinate measuring machines or laser scanning. You machine critical faces first, verify with in-process metrology, then assemble and finish. The result: quick cycle times without compromising durability or fit.

Clear Pricing and Clear Communication

Though scope evolves, pricing remains fixed. You get granular estimates tied to engineering drawings, tolerance classes, and material specs, so pricing transparency is embedded in your RFQ. We anchor quoted rates to defined revision levels; website any change generates a documented delta with unit, setup, and finish costs separated. No hidden surcharges—machine time, consumables, and outside processes are detailed.

Our communication protocols keep you informed without noise.
