Metal Fabrication Services in Southern Maine
Explore NESF's full range of capabilities, CNC cutting, welding, forming, machining, prototyping, and custom fabrication.
Custom Metal Fabrication
NESF helps customers turn ideas, drawings, broken parts, and custom project requirements into finished metal parts and assemblies.
Custom metal fabrication is the ability to understand a metal problem, choose the right process, and build a part or assembly that does what it needs to do. NESF supports fabrication projects that may include CNC cutting, shearing, forming, welding, machining, rolling, tube and pipe forming, and assembly.
- Custom steel parts
- Brackets, gussets, supports, and plates
- Welded frames and assemblies
- Formed parts and bent components
- Equipment repair and replacement parts
- Short-run production parts
CNC Plasma Cutting
Precise cutting for custom metal parts, plates, brackets, repair pieces, and fabrication components with our 60×120 plasma table.
CNC plasma cutting is a strong fit when a project requires clean, repeatable cuts from digital files or drawn patterns. Especially useful for parts that need consistent dimensions, curves, holes, slots, tabs, or repeated shapes. Capacity up to 1 inch.
- Custom brackets
- Steel plates and panels
- Equipment repair parts
- Base plates and mounting plates
- Production cut parts
- Prototype components
CNC Flame Cutting
Heavy steel cutting for thicker plate and industrial projects with our 60×120 flame cutting table, up to 3 inches capacity.
Flame cutting is useful for heavier steel sections where plasma cutting may not be the right fit. NESF can cut thick steel plate for fabrication projects, repair components, structural-style parts, and custom industrial needs.
- Heavy plate cutting
- Industrial fabrication
- Structural components
- Repair fabrication
- Custom industrial parts
Welding & Assembly
MIG and TIG welding support for custom fabrication projects, repair parts, frames, brackets, and multi-part metal builds.
Welding is often the step that turns cut and formed pieces into a finished part or working assembly. NESF supports welding as part of full fabrication projects, prototype builds, repair fabrication, and short-run production.
- Welded frames
- Brackets and supports
- Guards and panels
- Repair parts
- Equipment components
- Custom assemblies
Metal Forming & Bending
Press brake forming with CNC back gauge support for brackets, channels, panels, covers, and formed steel components.
Forming can reduce unnecessary welding, improve part strength, and create cleaner finished components. NESF uses press brake equipment with CNC back gauge support and a wide variety of tooling to create formed parts for custom fabrication and production needs.
- Brackets and channels
- Angles and covers
- Guards and housings
- Mounting components
- Formed panels
- Rolled cylinders
Machining
CNC and manual machining for custom parts, prototypes, repair components, and fabrication projects requiring precision.
Some fabrication projects require more than cutting and welding. Machining may be needed for holes, slots, finished surfaces, fit-up, shafts, bushings, mounts, or more precise mechanical features.
- CNC milling
- CNC turning
- Manual machining
- Surface grinding
- Prototype parts
- Repair components
Prototype Fabrication
From idea to buildable part through consultation, development, prototype support, and manufacturing.
Prototype work requires patience, communication, and flexibility. The first version of a part is often about learning what works, what needs to change, and how the part should be fabricated for real use. NESF can collaborate with customers who have a rough idea, sketch, sample part, or early design.
- Consultation and planning
- Development support
- Physical prototype creation
- Design refinement
- Manufacturing transition
- Short-run production
