Metal Fabrication for the East Midlands
Bring your East Midlands fabrication project to T-Rax in Desford, Leicestershire. We help buyers develop drawings, make prototypes and progress to repeat batches, with laser cutting, folding, welding, powder coating and assembly available. Whether you need one component or a complete fabricated product, share its purpose, quantity and delivery postcode so we can discuss a practical route to manufacture.
Manufactured in Desford. Delivered across the UK.
One point of contact for your design, fabrication, assembly and packing requirements.
Start with the information your fabricator needs
A useful quotation starts with a clear description of what the part must do. Send drawings or a CAD model if available, together with the material, thickness, quantity and finish you require. Highlight critical dimensions, mating parts and any surfaces that need particular care. If the design is still developing, explain the intended use and identify the decisions that remain open. Our fabrication services include 3D CAD support using SolidWorks, helping turn an initial brief into information that can be reviewed for manufacture.
Separate prototype decisions from repeat production
A prototype can help establish fit, access and assembly before you order a larger batch. Tell us which features need checking and whether the prototype must use the intended production material and finish. For repeat work, provide the current drawing revision and distinguish the first order quantity from possible future requirements. We undertake one-off work and quantities into the thousands, but the manufacturing route and quotation depend on the actual design, processes and order scope.
Match the processes to the complete requirement
Our Desford operation brings together laser cutting, folding, MIG, TIG and robotic welding, powder coating and assembly. Rather than specifying each process in isolation, explain the condition in which you need to receive the part. A bracket intended for immediate installation may need different handling and finishing from a component that you will process further. Review our manufacturing capabilities and flag overall dimensions, weight, tolerances and finish requirements when enquiring. Suitability should be agreed for the particular job.
Include assembly and delivery in the brief
If you need several parts supplied together, identify the bill of materials, supplied components and intended assembly sequence. Our component assembly and packing and fulfilment services can be discussed alongside manufacture. For dispatch, provide the delivery postcode, approximate load, unloading facilities and site access restrictions. State any requested delivery date so that feasibility can be considered as part of the quotation; timing is agreed against the job.
East Midlands buyer questions
Which East Midlands locations can I enquire from?
We welcome enquiries from across the region, including Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Lincoln and Northampton. These are coverage examples; manufacturing is based in Desford. See our Leicester and Leicestershire fabrication page for the local service overview, and include your actual delivery postcode with the enquiry.
Can I discuss a design before ordering a batch?
Yes. Share the proposed use, available drawings and the issues you need to resolve. Identify whether you need CAD support, a prototype or a production quotation. Contact T-Rax with those details and your quantity, finish and shipping requirements so the next steps can be agreed.
