Our staff of Programmers/Engineers has over 60 years experience in the field of metal fabrications and over 30 years of combined experience programming parts for our customers’ needs. We currently use MetaCam to program our laser and punch. With our vast knowledge of sheet metal layout we can be very instrumental in helping to bring new products and ideas to life.Engineering Metal Fabrication
What makes our engineers successful is having more than 60 years experience in the sheet metal world. We currently use Solid Works for sheet metal and frame layout, as well as BobCad-Cam which is used to program our CNC Machining Centers. We have both 2D and 3D capabilities and our team is primarily responsible for developing fabrication drawings for the shop floor, from a customer concept.
Finishing/Painting
Prescott Metal is well known for the quality of our Stainless Steel fabrication finishing. If your stainless needs are a #8 mirror finish, #4 polished finish or just a welded and sanded finish, our staff can give you exactly what you need. All parts are hand welded and finished to the specifications you desire. If a painted finish is what you need, Prescott Metal does wet painting and powder coating in-house, and can paint items to your specifications.
