Questions? We've got answers.
Metal fabrication is a specialized trade, and not everybody knows how it works or how we can help. Here are the questions we hear most.
Getting Started
Absolutely. Our rapid prototyping services efficiently develop and test your design, accelerating time to market, and laser cutting lets us do it without building a die first.
That's fine. Our engineering team can help develop an idea into exactly what you envision, from concept through design, prototyping, and production.
We work with anybody who needs metal fabrication, whether it's a single sign for the front lawn or 10,000 parts for a commercial product.
We work in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor and accept common formats like DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, and PDF. Send what you have and we'll confirm.
Process & Materials
Stamping creates a die of the required shape, then a heavy press stamps out the product, ideal for high volume. Laser cutting melts or vaporizes a path through the metal to create intricate designs with no tooling, ideal for prototypes and low-to-mid volume. Many programs start on the laser and graduate to stamping.
Our fiber laser cuts a variety of metals precisely, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium.
Rapid prototypes at a fraction of the cost of a die; precision automotive and aerospace components; flat panels with smooth joints; accurate medical-device parts; and custom signs and one-off pieces.
Stainless steel, aluminum, hot- and cold-rolled steel, copper, brass, and Inconel, including coated, countersunk, embossed, and heat-treated features.
Tooling & Production
Yes, we design, build, and maintain every stamping die in-house with 15 master tool makers. Your tooling never leaves our control, which means faster turnaround and one team accountable for quality.
Your tooling is yours. We build it, maintain it, and store it here, ready for your next release, with no offshore lock-in.
67 punch presses ranging from 30 to 1,000 tons, running up to 1,200 strokes per minute, spanning light-gauge precision work to heavy, large-format stamping.
Lead Times & Quality
It depends on volume and complexity, but most projects are completed very quickly. We're proud of our 97% on-time delivery rate, and it helps that everything is made in the USA.
Yes, Evans maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification and is a certified SBA Woman-Owned Small Business. Welds meet ISO 9001:2015 and NTMA standards or higher.
One U.S.-based source for cutting, stamping, tooling, welding, and finishing means shorter lead times, reduced supply-chain risk, better communication, and no ocean freight or customs delays.
