Contract Fabrication
Welding that holds up, on parts and at volume
A weld is where a fabrication buyer looks first, because a bad one shows and a good one lasts. CMD runs both robotic welding for repeatable production and skilled hand welding for the work that needs a person on the torch.
In summary
Custom Metal Designs welds fabricated parts and assemblies at its shop in Central Florida, using both robotic welding cells and skilled manual MIG and TIG welding. Robotic welding handles production runs where every weld needs to be identical; manual welding covers one-offs, repairs, and joints a person judges better than a program.
Welding sits in the same building as cutting, forming, and machining, so a part is cut, formed, and welded without leaving CMD's quality system. Weld quality is governed by CMD's ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Key facts
- Robotic welding for repeatable production
- Manual MIG and TIG for one-offs and precision work
- Welding in-house with cutting, forming, and machining
- ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system

Robotic welding for repeatable production
On a production run, consistency is everything. A robotic welding cell lays the same weld the same way on every part, at a pace and repeatability a person cannot match over a long run. It suits high volumes and parts where the joints are accessible and the fixturing holds them square.
CMD builds the fixturing and programs the cell in-house, drawing on the same robot-integration experience it applies to bottle-line automation.
Method · MIG and TIG by hand
Precision hand welding
Not every joint suits a robot. Prototypes, low volumes, tight-access joints, thin material, and repairs are where a skilled welder earns their keep, reading the puddle and adjusting as they go. CMD's welders run both MIG for speed and build-up and TIG for clean, controlled welds on thinner or more visible work.
This is also where the finished appearance matters, on show hardware and visible assemblies where the weld is part of how the part looks, not just how it holds.

Certifications and standards
What backs the weld.
ISO 9001:2015 certified by NQA
The quality-management system covers how welds are specified, made, and inspected, not just the paperwork around them.
