KanCraft Metal Fabrication

Services

Six processes,
one building.

Most jobs never leave the shop. A part gets cut, formed, welded, blasted and packed without a truck ride in between — which is where the days in a lead time usually go, and where handling damage usually happens.

01

Laser cutting

Amada Ventis 3015 AJ fiber laser running sheet and plate in steel, stainless and aluminum.

Nesting is done in house, so parts from one order share sheets efficiently rather than being run one drawing at a time. Thin gauge through 1-inch plate, with the thickness range on the capabilities page taken from what we actually ran this year rather than what the brochure allows.

02

Press brake

Precision forming with per-sheet setup control, so springback on one lot never rides along into the next.

Bend allowances are proved on the first piece and held for the run. Where a job needs it, parts from each sheet are kept together through forming — springback varies sheet to sheet, and mixing them is how out-of-spec bends happen.

03

Welding

MIG and TIG fabrication and assembly, from single brackets to multi-part weldments.

Weldments are built from parts we cut and formed ourselves, so fit-up problems get solved at the drawing rather than discovered at the bench.

Fixtured and free-hand
04

Media blasting

Surface prep that gives coatings something to hold onto — mill scale, rust and weld discoloration off before finish.

Because blasting is in the same building, parts do not get handled, crated and trucked between operations — which is where finish damage usually comes from.

In-house · no outside handling
05

CAD design

Send a drawing, a model, a sketch on a napkin, or the broken part itself. We will draw it and confirm before cutting.

If a feature is going to be expensive or hard to hold tolerance on, you will hear about it before the job is released, not after the first article.

CNC machining

Drilling, tapping and milling for the features a laser and brake cannot put in.

Secondary operations are scheduled alongside the cutting and forming rather than sent out, so they do not add a week to the lead time.

Send a print and a quantity and you will get a real number back from a person who looked at it. If something in the design will make the part expensive or hard to hold tolerance on, we will say so before you commit to it.
