Fabrication of custom research equipment in steel, aluminum,
stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze, nickel, cast iron, as well
as platinum, gold, titanium and plastics. Consultation in design
and fabrication methods as well as welding procedures is also
provided. Our staff are capable of welding, using shielded metal
