METAL FABRICATION

Engineered metal fabrication, built for strength, accuracy, and reliability

Metal Fabrication

At Armadillo Engineering, we bring metal fabrication, CNC machining, welding, and design-for-manufacture expertise together under one roof.

With advanced machining capability, certified welders, and full in-house inspection, we deliver fabricated components, custom assemblies, and bespoke structural solutions built with accuracy, reliability, and speed, all around the world.

You'll benefit from:

  • Full end-to-end control – one supplier for fabrication, machining, inspection, and assembly

  • Reduced lead times – integrated in-house workflows eliminate outsourcing delays

  • Expert teams – fabricators, machinists, engineers, and DFM specialists working side by side

  • Assured quality – supported by CMM inspection, Faro laser scanning, and documented QC processes

Specialist Services

Our metal fabrication capabilities include:

  • Fabrication of brackets, housings, frames & engineered components

  • MIG & TIG welding, including coded welding

  • Custom steel structures & architectural metalwork

  • Modular structures & large-scale fabrication

  • Precision fabrication for tight-tolerance assemblies

  • Bespoke structural solutions

  • Structural engineering services & documentation

  • Mechanical assembly & project-ready builds

Metals we work with: mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel, and composite materials.

Our team includes: coded welders, fabricators, CNC machinists, engineers, and Project Managers - providing complete support from start to finish.

Process / How It Works

We take pride in our work and are invested in a project as much as the client.  Communication is key at every stage. 

Here is how we work.

Step 1 – Consultation & Design Review
We review your designs, highlight potential challenges, and suggest optimisations.

Step 2 – Precision Machining
Your components are manufactured in-house using CNC and 5-axis machining for maximum accuracy.

Step 3 – Finishing & Assembly
We deburr, finish, and assemble components as specified, ensuring they’re project-ready.

Step 4 – Quality Control & Certification
Every part is tested, reviewed, and certified to ISO, Lloyd’s, CE UK, and IACS standards.

Step 5 – Delivery & Ongoing Support
You components are delivered fully inspected, and project-ready, with ongoing support available.

Benefits & Results / Why Armadillo works better

By choosing Armadillo Engineering, you’ll see real, measurable gains in your projects:

  • Faster turnaround – cut lead times with no outsourcing delays

  • Lower overall costs – streamlined processes mean better efficiency and savings

  •  Unmatched precision – 5-axis machining produces consistent, complex parts in one setup

  • Greater design freedom – push the limits of what’s possible with complex geometries

  • Confidence at every stage – certified, tested, and delivered to the highest industry standards
