Prototype Sheet Metal Parts Post Processing & Finishing / /
Fathom’s comprehensive manufacturing program allows our customers to produce everything in-house from prototype to post processing and finishing. Welding, hardware installation, painting and more can all be achieved. Additional services not offered by Fathom can be outsourced to one of our strategic partners to ensure your part will be made quickly while maintaining a high level of quality.
Welding
During welding heat and pressure are used to fuse two or more parts together. Welding services include arc welding, metal inert gas (MIG), tungsten inert gas (TIG), resistance spot welding, laser welding and oxyfuel welding and cutting.
Hardware Installation
Fathom’s complete sheet metal fabrication program includes hardware installation services. Whether a project a low or high volume of parts, Fathom can ensure great quality and efficiency.
Sanding/Grinding
Fathom’s services include sanding and grinding services. Grinding adds any desired cosmetic surface and can also remove weld. Sanding deburrs and removes scratches from parts after they have been punched or laser cut.
Liquid Painting
Liquid painting is suitable for projects where powder coating cannot be used. Liquid painting results in a professional finish, corrosion resistance, custom colors and more.
Powder Coating
During powder coating, the sheet metal part is covered with an even coating of powder and then cured. After curing, the workpiece has a professional finish that can be matte, smooth, textured and more. Fathom has a variety of different powder coating finishes to choose from.
Screen Printing
Screen printing can be used to add a variety of different finishes and colors to sheet metal parts. Fathom can also add a design of your choice to your custom part.
Assembly & Kitting
Assembly and kitting can be performed in-house by the Fathom team. Services include hardware installation, manual or automated processes and more. Fathom will ensure your finished part meets your exact specifications.
Outside Processing
Fathom’s services include access to strategic partnerships and with key suppliers of heat treating, plating and powder coating who meet our standards for both quality and speed.

Post Machining
CNC machining is sometimes required to complete a part. Fathom has in-house CNC machining centers that can add post-mill features to sheet metal parts, allowing us to successfully manufacture parts within time constraints.
In-house Custom Tooling
Fathom’s engineers and master tool makers can deliver creative tooling solutions. Our team specializes in complex bending and precision and are not intimidated by challenging design features. Our services include intricate EDM tooling, waterjet cut tools and robust CNC machined tooling.
Deburring and Finishing
We know that attention to detail is critical to the manufacturing process. We can uniformly remove laser dross, mechanical burrs, harps or other surface imperfections using our in-house deburring and finishing operations. Finishing services include hand sanding, automated deburring, tumbling and more.
