Custom Machinery

One-of-a-kind machines and automated equipment built from concept through final assembly and testing.

76 manufacturers

Custom machinery fabrication represents the most comprehensive type of metal fabrication project, combining structural fabrication, precision machining, assembly, and often hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical integration into a complete functional machine. These projects require fabricators with broad capabilities and engineering support. The custom machinery fabrication process typically begins with a customer's concept or functional specification, progresses through engineering design and 3D modeling, then moves to fabrication of the structural frame, machining of precision components, and final assembly and testing. Many shops offer design-build services where they handle the entire project from concept to commissioning. When selecting a custom machinery fabricator, evaluate their engineering capabilities (in-house design, 3D modeling), breadth of fabrication processes (welding, machining, forming), assembly experience, and ability to integrate purchased components. Review examples of similar machines they have built and check references from previous custom machinery customers.
