Elimold provides a wide range of marine custom sheet metal fabrication solutions to marine manufacturers worldwide. We have a facility that covers over 40,000 square feet. Our extensive equipment inventory, large supplier network, and large facility allow us to expedite the delivery of orders within the most demanding timeframes. At Elimold, we pride ourselves on our ability to complete your project within a timeframe that most suppliers would consider unreasonable. In addition to our facilities and equipment, we also maintain a qualified set of welding procedure specifications (WPS). We can use processes that are pre-qualified by the American Welding Society (AWS) or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), or we can help you develop a process qualification record (PQR) to meet your unique certification needs.
Our Fabrication Capabilities
Our state-of-the-art facility features 100 tons of bending tonnage, and our machines can cut sheet metal up to 4′ x 8′ in thicknesses ranging from .020″ to .316″ with tolerances of ± .005″. We produce high-quality fabricated, assembled, and welded products with short lead times, typically just 4 to 5 weeks. We offer expedited and emergency services as needed, as we accept orders ranging in volume from a single prototype to large-scale full-scale production.
The versatility of our sheet metal fabrication capabilities speeds up the production of sample parts so that design, form, fit, function, and manufacturability can be tested, analyzed, and validated. We focus on understanding your product application, cost constraints, quality goals, and any other areas of concern so that we can provide you with everything you need within your budgetary guidelines.

Design Assistance Services
Our goal is to help our clients reduce design errors, clearly demonstrate design intent, and get to manufacturing as quickly as possible. We achieve this through expertise and experience by providing design support through a variety of CAD/CAM tools.
All of our designers have extensive experience in metal fabrication. When you hire us for design and drafting, our staff doesn’t just draw a product without understanding how it will be manufactured. Before we begin, our designers walk through the entire manufacturing process to try to identify any design or functional issues that may arise. If any issues arise at this point, our team will sit down with you to discuss what we think is the best solution before the project goes into production.
Complete Assembly Manufacturing Services
Our comprehensive assembly services streamline your production process from start to finish. We manage everything from individual components to complete systems, ensuring seamless integration. Through our supplier inventory management and inventory programs, we guarantee timely availability of parts, optimizing your supply chain efficiency. With our complete assembly, packaging and delivery services, you can count on our team to meet your production schedule quickly and reliably.

Each job is carefully designed with your specifications and needs in mind, paying attention to every detail. We will guide you step by step through the project and answer any questions along the way.
Benefits of Sheet Metal Design Optimization
Why is it important to use the correct materials and test designs before manufacturing? Benefits of optimizing sheet metal designs include:
- Improved Cost to Useful Life Ratio. A well-optimized design will give you the best bang for your buck possible by making sure that the sheet metal form you order lasts for a long time without costing you too much. Using the wrong material can cause a custom metal form to wear out quickly. When your parts last for years or decades rather than months, you save money on constant re-orders.
- Better Performance. Sometimes, an existing design could be greatly improved with just a few minor tweaks. For example, adding a removable side panel to materials handling basket can make unloading materials faster, saving on labor. Adding more supports to a shelf design can increase its ability to handle heavy loads.
- Faster Delivery. By testing metal fabrication designs virtually, you can be spared the lengthy and expensive process of building, shipping, and testing multiple physical prototypes. If a design doesn’t pass the Autodesk simulation, it goes back to the drawing board to be reworked in a way that addresses the cause of the failure. This way, you know you’ll be getting a custom metal form that will meet or exceed your needs the first time, not after months and months of painstakingly slow tests.
