Capabilities
Metal fabrication services: cut, machine, form, finish, assemble
Every one of our metal fabrication services runs through one quoting system and one shop. Pick the process you need, or simply send the print and let us pick the fastest route through the building.
Cutting
Precision laser cutting
High-precision laser cutting on current-generation fiber equipment, so intricate patterns come off the table with clean, burr-free edges and tight tolerances. Not sure it will cut your gauge? First, see how deep laser cutting can go.
Cutting
Punch/laser combination
Amada punch-laser combination machining puts punched features, formed tabs, and laser-cut profiles in one setup. Meanwhile, an automated material tower keeps the machine running unattended.
Machining
CNC machining & milling
A full line of 3- and 4-axis CNC machining and milling centers with automation. As a result, material removal is equally precise at prototype and production volume.
Cutting
Band saw cutting
Industrial band saw cutting for Dallas–Fort Worth. Bar, tube, pipe, and structural shapes are cut straight and uniform, even in thick material.
Forming
Press brake forming
Precision forming from simple bends to complex forms, across a broad range of materials and gauges. In other words, cut parts come back finished to your final specification.
Cutting
CNC routing
A state-of-the-art routing table for metal and composites. Because it handles multiple setups and machine types, the whole part is completed on one piece of equipment.
Additive
3D printing
Engineering-grade prints for prototypes, fixtures, and end-use parts. First prove the geometry, then commit it to metal.
Programming
CAD/CAM programming
Every process in the building starts here, because your drawings are turned into efficient, accurate toolpaths before a single part is cut.
Applications
Architectural & design
From simple shapes to complex architectural applications that combine laser cutting, machining, forming, welding, and assembly. In addition, we work from your renderings as well as from prints.
Finishing & assembly
Custom metal assemblies
Most customers don’t want a pile of parts; instead, they want assemblies. That is why AST delivers custom-engineered, fabricated metal assemblies ready to install.
Why AST
Built to carry the whole job, under one quality system
One roof, one contact
Complete metal fabrication services from concept design through production, finishing, and assembly. As a result, your lead time stays ours to control, and you deal with one shop rather than five vendors.
Current equipment
State-of-the-art cutting, machining, and forming technology, programmed through in-house CAD/CAM, produces components to the precision your print requires. Equally important, the equipment is kept current.
