When designing components for heavy equipment, transportation, or industrial systems, the choice of material is a foundational decision that dictates cost, performance, and longevity. At Sintel , we know that success in metal fabrication begins long before the laser fires, starting with expert design-for-manufacturability (DFM) consultation. To help you navigate the initial stages of your next project, we're diving into the three most common metal fabrication materials: carb

In the world of modern manufacturing and fabrication , the quality of a finished product is often determined by the very first step: the cut. Metal cutting is a detailed and strategic process that significantly impacts material integrity, project cost, and the precision of the final component. Choosing the right technique from the vast array of options can feel overwhelming. Should you go for speed, accuracy, or minimizing thermal effects? The truth is that the "best" method

When it comes to quality fabrication , the final finish isn’t just about looks; it’s about protection, performance, and durability. Powder coating has long been the finishing favorite for its smooth texture, superior corrosion resistance, and eco-friendly process. But not every powder-coated surface is created equal. That’s where paint specification standards, Class A, B, and C finishes, come into play. These classification standards guide customers and manufacturers in sett

When you're working with equipment manufacturers, there's zero room for error. A single design or manufacturing flaw in a metal component can lead to production delays, costly rework, and, worst of all, field failures that impact your reputation. That's where prototyping and PPAP become your secret weapons. At Sintel , we've spent over 40 years perfecting the art of metal fabrication and quality manufacturing . And here's what we've learned: the companies that invest in proto

The world of manufacturing is evolving at a breakneck pace, and staying ahead of the curve is no longer an option; it's a necessity. As we approach 2026, the industry is poised for a significant transformation driven by technological innovation and a global push for efficiency and sustainability. At Sintel , we believe in solving challenges with smart engineering and high-quality execution. We’ve been at the forefront of this change, and we're here to share the key trends tha

At Sintel Inc. , we recognize that reducing product costs without compromising quality is a key objective for manufacturers today. One of the most powerful strategies to achieve this is through Design for Manufacturing (DFM). A smart, collaborative approach that aligns product design with manufacturing capabilities from the very start. What is Design for Manufacturing (DFM)? DFM is a design philosophy that focuses on making products easier and more cost-effective to manufactu

Looking for the right sheet metal fabrication partner? If you’ve ever searched for “best sheet metal fabricators near me,”  you know how...

When you're developing complex products for today's demanding markets, choosing the right manufacturing partner can make or break your success. At Sintel , we understand that OEMs need more than just a vendor who can fabricate parts. They need a strategic partner who can guide them through every step of the product development journey. That's where the power of vertical integration comes into play. But what exactly does this mean for your business? Let's dive deep into how a

At Sintel , we’ve seen firsthand how our automated welding systems are transforming manufacturing, helping us to achieve the exact, repeatable results that were once impossible. The question here is: what exactly makes automated welding so superior for precision parts? Let's dive deep into the advantages that are reshaping modern manufacturing. The Precision Revolution: Understanding High-Tolerance Welding What Defines High-Tolerance Parts? High-tolerance parts require dimens
