MIG and TIG Welding Services — Metal Fabrication

Metal fabricator pricing is usually based on shop time, material type, material thickness, weld requirements, tolerances, setup, finishing, and order quantity. Ron Nunes Enterprises does not publish standard hourly rates because custom metal work is quoted from drawings and specifications. A detailed quote typically provides a clearer cost picture than an hourly estimate alone.

A welder focuses on joining metal parts using processes such as MIG, TIG, or other welding methods. A metal fabricator provides the broader manufacturing process, which can include cutting, punching, forming, welding, assembly, finishing, and production support. Ron Nunes Enterprises offers welding as part of full-service fabrication for precision parts and assemblies.

Yes. Welding is commonly one step within metal fabrication. Fabrication may begin with laser cutting, shearing, or punching, continue through forming, and then use welding to join components into brackets, enclosures, chassis, weldments, or assemblies. Finishing and mechanical assembly may follow so parts are ready for installation or production use.

Metal fabrication services turn raw sheet or plate metal into finished components or assemblies. Services can include laser cutting, shearing, N/C punching, forming, welding, finishing, and mechanical assembly. Ron Nunes Enterprises also supports product development, design-for-manufacturability input, prototype work, production runs, and contract manufacturing programs for industrial customers.

MIG welding is often used for efficient, strong welds on production parts, while TIG welding is chosen for precise, clean, cosmetic, or sealed welds. The right process depends on material, thickness, appearance requirements, strength needs, and production volume. A fabrication review helps match the welding method to the part’s function and finish.

Ron Nunes Enterprises supports custom fabrication from one-off prototypes to short runs and full production quantities. The team can assist during product development, review manufacturability, and help refine parts before production. This is especially useful when a customer needs cost-effective manufacturing applications, consistent repeatability, or a smooth transition from prototype to contract production.

Ron Nunes Enterprises serves a wide range of precision, commercial, and industrial market segments, including semiconductor, transportation, defense, medical, communications, telecommunications, nuclear and physics research, and national defense applications. These markets often require dependable tolerances, repeatable manufacturing processes, documentation awareness, and the ability to support custom parts and mechanical assemblies.

For custom fabrication, helpful quote details include drawings or CAD files, material specifications, thickness, dimensions, tolerances, weld requirements, finish expectations, quantity, and target delivery schedule. If you are still developing the part, the team can also provide manufacturing input to help reduce cost, simplify production, and improve repeatability.
