This shop serves Metro Detroit with custom fabrication under one roof—cutting, metal and wood work, finishing, graphics, and installation coordinated from the same team.
Waterjet cutting
The Auburn Hills shop cuts steel, aluminum, wood, and composites on a waterjet.
The CNC waterjet uses a 50,000 psi stream mixed with garnet abrasive on a 13′-8″ × 7′ cutting bed, with capacity up to 8″ thick.
A 5-axis head cuts beveled or tapered edges up to 60 degrees, so many parts leave the table with a satin-smooth edge and little secondary finishing.
Learn more about waterjet, laser, and CNC cutting.
Laser cutting
Laser cutting here handles intricate profiles and engraving across metal, wood, acrylic, foam, and related sheet goods.
The Kern CNC laser works in a 5′×10′ area and produces crisp cuts with satin-smooth edges; acrylic often leaves the machine with a clear, glass-like edge.
Teams use it for custom fabrication parts, signage blanks, and architectural details that need tight tolerances.
See cutting capabilities for how laser work fits the broader digital workflow.
CNC router cutting
CNC router cutting at this shop shapes panels and components in wood, plastics, foam, and aluminum.
The KOMO single-spindle router uses a 5′×12′ vacuum table and can cut material up to 4″ thick, with up to 30 tool options for varied operations.
A CNC beam saw with 14′×14′ capacity supports stacked sheet cutting up to 3½″ for high-volume panel work.
More detail lives on the cutting services page.
Custom steel fabrication
Custom steel fabrication here covers structural frames, supports, and architectural steel assemblies.
Welders use MIG and TIG processes with fit-up and inspection so parts meet both strength and finish expectations.
Steel work often ships alongside wood and graphics from the same facility so installs stay coordinated.
Explore custom metal fabrication.
Aluminum fabrication
Aluminum fabrication at this shop includes frames, panels, and lighter architectural components.
Parts are cut, formed, and welded with the same digital workflow used for steel, then finished for install.
Aluminum is often specified where weight, corrosion resistance, or a clean modern edge matter.

Custom wood millwork
Custom wood millwork from this shop includes casework, wall systems, and architectural wood details.
CNC routing and traditional joinery run together so complex interiors stay accurate at scale.
Finishes are controlled in-house when the project calls for paint or clear coats before install.
See wood fabrication and millwork.
Custom furniture fabrication
Custom furniture fabrication here covers commercial tables, seating, storage, and feature pieces.
Builders match species, joinery, and finish to the interior package rather than catalog standards.
Furniture often ships with matching millwork so the room reads as one build.
Details are on the wood and furniture page.
Automotive paint finishing
Automotive paint finishing at this shop gives fabricated parts a durable, color-matched coating.
Spray work is inspected for coverage and finish quality before parts move to install or shipping.
This path suits metal and composite pieces that need more than a standard architectural latex.
Learn about paint finishing.
Latex paint finishing
Latex paint finishing here covers millwork and fabricated surfaces that need architectural coatings.
Color and sheen are controlled in the shop so multi-piece packages match on site.
Latex work sits alongside automotive coatings when a project needs both systems.
See automotive and latex finishing.
Millwork installation
Millwork installation from this shop puts fabricated casework and wood assemblies in place on site.
Installers work from the same engineering package as production, which reduces rework in the field.
Permanent and semi-permanent interiors are both in scope when the project calls for them.
Read about installation services.
3D printing
3D printing at this shop supports prototypes, fixtures, and custom components.
Additive parts can move into finishing or assembly with other fabricated elements from the same facility.
It is a practical path when a geometry is hard to machine quickly or only a short run is needed.
More on 3D printing.
Large-format printing
Large-format printing here produces graphics for interiors, displays, and built environments.
Output is sized and finished to fit the fabricated surfaces it mounts to.
Print and build stay aligned when both leave the same shop.
See large-format graphic printing.
Signage
Signage from this shop includes dimensional letters, panels, and applied brand marks.
Fabrication and graphics share one schedule so signage lands with the surrounding build.
Materials range with the environment—interior brand marks to more durable exterior applications when specified.
Explore graphic applications and signage.
Vinyl graphics
Vinyl graphics here cover wall wraps, window films, and surface graphics on fabricated pieces.
Cutting and application follow the same brand files used for print and dimensional signage.
Field application is available when the graphic has to go on after the structure is set.
Details on vinyl and graphic applications.
Lobby millwork
Lobby millwork from this shop shapes reception desks, feature walls, and entry casework.
Wood, metal, and graphics can ship together so the lobby opens as one environment.
Design files drive cuts and joinery so site install stays predictable.
See lobbies and briefing centers.
Briefing center millwork
Briefing center millwork here supports presentation rooms and visitor spaces that need precise fit and finish.
Casework and wall systems are built to take displays, lighting, and brand surfaces cleanly.
Production and installation stay linked so the room works on day one.
More on lobby and briefing environments.
Outdoor structures
Outdoor structures from this shop include frames, shelters, and exterior brand builds meant for weather exposure.
Metals, treated woods, and protective coatings are selected for the site rather than indoor defaults.
Engineering and install planning start early so foundations, power, and lifts are not afterthoughts.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer waterjet cutting?
Yes. This shop runs CNC waterjet cutting for steel, aluminum, wood, glass, stone, and other materials. The cell uses a 50,000 psi abrasive stream on a 13′-8″ × 7′ bed with capacity up to 8″ thick and a 5-axis head for bevels up to 60 degrees.
Do you offer laser cutting?
Yes. Laser cutting and engraving run on a Kern CNC laser with a 5′×10′ work area. It cuts and etches metals, wood, laminate, acrylic, foam, and glass with fine detail.
Do you offer CNC router cutting?
Yes. A KOMO single-spindle CNC router with a 5′×12′ vacuum table cuts wood, plastics, foam, and aluminum up to 4″ thick. Multi-tool setups support both one-offs and production runs.
