In a previous blog, we explored how the products D+M Metal Products fabricates support the fulfillment economy. But our metal parts don’t just move behind the scenes, they also show up in places you see every day: point-of-purchase (POP) and point-of-sale (POS) displays in retail stores. If you’re not sure what these terms mean or […]

In metal fabrication, precision isn’t limited to measurements and tolerances. Visual quality standards also play a critical role in determining whether a fabricated part is acceptable, especially for components that will be visible in the final product or sold to end users. Scratches, weld spatter, uneven finishes, or minor dents may not affect functionality, but […]

The first Friday in October is recognized nationwide as Manufacturing Day, a celebration of modern manufacturing and a vital opportunity to educate students, job seekers, the business community, media, and policymakers about the essential role this industry plays in the economy. In 2025, Manufacturing Day falls on Friday, October 3. What Is Manufacturing Day All […]

Medical equipment manufacturers rely on high-quality components that meet strict specifications and perform reliably in demanding environments. At D+M Metal Products, we work with manufacturers across a variety of industries, including the medical sector, to fabricate precision metal components that support critical equipment. While demand for medical equipment can fluctuate with industry needs, the requirement […]

When it comes to metal fabrication, precision isn’t just a technical requirement, it’s a business necessity. The tolerances specified for a fabricated part determine how closely the final dimensions must match the original design. While tight tolerances can be essential for certain assemblies, they also have a significant impact on production cost, lead times, and […]

Quality control is an essential part of any metal fabrication process. Without clearly defined standards and established quality procedures, it would be very difficult for a metal fabricator to consistently produce high-quality products that meet customer expectations. At D+M Metal Products, we follow a rigorous ISO 9001 metal fabrication quality control program built around the […]

Sheet metal is one of the most versatile and widely used materials in metal fabrication. From creating custom brackets and enclosures to forming complex shapes for electronic cabinets and furniture, its adaptability makes it a cornerstone in many industries. At D+M Metal Products, we use sheet metal to produce high-quality parts that meet the strict […]

In the expanding manufacturing economy, multiple industries all rely on a key factor: support. You may think that a bracket is just a structural element. However, through metal fabrication, custom brackets provide the structural foundation to many things, including the foundation of homes, businesses, equipment, and more. They are vital connection points of buildings and […]

In metal fabrication, consistency is critical—especially when producing small parts intended for use in larger assemblies. At D+M Metal Products, we specialize in OEM component fabrication, creating parts that must meet exact specifications to function properly in final products. Whether it’s a piece for a conveyor, an electronic enclosure, or a frame for office furniture, […]

At D+M Metal Products we work with companies in industries across many different markets. Fabricated parts are the building blocks of products and equipment that are used to build, display, clean, or maintain other goods every single day. However, fabrication projects often come with challenges that can have a real impact on efficiency, cost, and […]

Metal fabrication doesn’t end with cutting, forming, and assembling. Many fabricated metal parts go through secondary processes to enhance their functionality, durability, and appearance. These additional steps make certain that the fabricated components meet precise specifications and industry standards before they are integrated into larger assemblies. Let’s go through some common secondary processes in metal […]

Metal fabrication is an essential process in the manufacturing industry. It plays a key role in creating products used every day – from cars to furniture and household appliances to complex industrial machinery like AGVs – that make our lives safer, easier, and better. Whether you’re in the construction field, healthcare, the automotive industry, or […]
