Metal Fabricators in Dallas: Built in Texas, Built to Last
Searching for metal fabricators in Dallas?
You’re not alone — this city is booming. Between aerospace, industrial automation, energy, EV infrastructure, and custom OEM builds, Dallas runs on fabrication. But let’s be honest — not all fab shops are cut from the same steel.
If you need sheet metal work, structural welding, stainless enclosures, or full assemblies, you don’t want to roll the dice with whoever pops up first on Google. You want experience, speed, precision — and people who actually answer your emails.
That’s where SanCoSales.com comes in.
We’re not a fab shop. We’re a Texas-based manufacturers’ rep agency that connects engineers, procurement leads, and production teams with top-tier metal fabricators right here in Dallas and the surrounding region. Whether your job is 10 prototype parts or 10,000 production units, we’ll get you matched with the right shop, not just the closest one.
🛠️ What Kind of Fabrication Work Can We Help You Source?
Everything from laser-cut precision brackets to heavy-duty structural weldments — all under one roof.
The Dallas-area metal fabricators we represent handle:
- Laser cutting (carbon, stainless, aluminum — up to 1″)
- Brake press forming (multi-bend precision forming, 10’+ press lengths)
- CNC turret punching
- MIG, TIG, robotic, and spot welding
- Hardware insertion (PEMs, standoffs, rivets)
- Powder coating, wet paint, anodizing, plating
- Kitting, sub-assembly, and final packaging
We don’t just send you to a shop and hope for the best. We pair your part with a fab team that’s already proven on jobs just like yours — with the machines, processes, and people to do it right.
📍 Dallas-Fort Worth Metro: Big Footprint, Bigger Capability
From Irving to Plano, Grand Prairie to Arlington, our fabrication network stretches across DFW — with even broader reach into central Texas and the Midwest when needed. That means:
- Lower freight costs
- Fast regional delivery
- Easier in-person inspections or site visits
- Redundancy across multiple plants for scaling production or backup support
Whether you’re in downtown Dallas, Frisco, or Fort Worth, we’ve got fabrication firepower nearby and ready to roll. The tariff situation is affecting all of us in the metal business. See how here.

⚠️ What to Avoid When Sourcing Fabrication in Dallas
Dallas is full of metal shops — but not all of them are equipped for precision, repeatability, or scalable production. Here’s where we see companies go wrong:
❌ Choosing the wrong shop for the job
One guy’s great at railing work — but he can’t hold a ±0.010″ tolerance on a formed bracket. We match your job with the right specialty shop.
❌ Ignoring lead time realities
Not every shop has capacity. We make sure our partners have room on the floor before we even send you a quote.
❌ Outsourcing too many steps
Cut here, bend there, powder coat across town… that’s how things fall apart. We offer turnkey solutions under one roofwhen possible.
❌ Designing a part without manufacturability in mind
We help clean up drawings, tweak hole placement, and optimize bends before the part hits the press — saving you time and cost.
🧠 DFM Support & Engineering Insight
You don’t have to be a sheet metal expert — that’s what we’re here for. Our partners offer Design for Manufacturability (DFM) input, so you can:
- Tighten up tolerances (or loosen them where it saves money)
- Reduce material waste and scrap
- Prevent forming issues or cracking
- Choose coatings and hardware that hold up in real-world use
If it’s worth fabricating, it’s worth fabricating right.
🕒 Lead Times You Can Plan Around
Here’s what you can typically expect from a Dallas-based fab project:
| Stage | Timeline Estimate |
| Quote Review | 1–2 business days |
| Laser Cutting & Forming | 5–10 business days |
| Welding & Assembly | 1–3 weeks depending on complexity |
| Finishing & Packaging | 3–7 days after fabrication |
