SPEC
Tonnage
145 tons of pressure handles the heavy plate work that small shops have to turn down.
Precision Manufacturing
CNC Capabilities
The equipment that makes ArcWest a precision part-manufacturing shop, not a welder. CNC forming, CNC cutting, CNC tube bending, and full 3D CAD — engineered for prototypes, custom parts, and production runs, all under one roof.
Flagship · CNC Press Brake
Bend/Force Ramsey 145T · 8 ft
Most fab shops in our area can't form heavy plate — they cut and ship to a forming partner two hours away, then mark it up. ArcWest brought the press brake in-house so we can run the whole job, control quality, and turn parts faster.
- 145 tons of forming pressure for thick plate work
- 8 ft maximum bend length — covers most panels and enclosures
- Delem CNC control with multi-axis backgauge for repeatability
- Mild steel, stainless, and aluminum forming
- Custom tooling library for non-standard profiles
- Production batches with locked-in setups
SPEC
Bend Length
8 ft maximum bed — covers panels, enclosures, machine guarding, and structural pieces.
SPEC
Control
Delem CNC with backgauge — repeatable, programmable, and accurate to the production run.
CNC Plasma Cutting
Profile Cutting From DXF or CAD.
Bring us a DXF or have us draw it from your sketch or sample. We cut brackets, gussets, plates, signage, and structural shapes to spec — production runs and one-offs both welcome.
- Tight-tolerance profile cutting
- Mild steel, stainless, aluminum
- Optimized nesting to reduce material cost
- Cuts engineered to feed into press-brake forming downstream
Full 3D CAD & Engineering
From Sketch To Spec.
From Sketch To Spec.
From Spec To Steel.
Full 3D Onshape CAD in-house. Most small businesses don't have an engineer on staff — they have an idea and a problem they can't solve with off-the-shelf parts. That's where ArcWest steps in. When the project needs stamped or inspected drawings, we have the relationships in place to deliver that, too.
Onshape
Modeled. Validated. Manufactured.
Every part starts as a 3D model. We confirm geometry, tolerances, and material before any metal moves — so you get the part you actually need, not the one that almost worked.
Concept
Send a sketch, photo, or describe what the part needs to do. We figure out the rest.
3D CAD Model
We build a full 3D model, validate the geometry, and confirm tolerances and material before any metal moves. Stamped drawings available on request.
Prototype
One real part you can hold, install, and stress-test. Refinements happen here, not in production.
Production
Lock the design and run quantities — first batch, recurring orders, or finished assemblies.
CNC Tube Bending
Round, Square, Repeatable.
CNC-controlled tube bending for handrails, frames, roll structures, custom assemblies, and architectural work. Production-grade repeatability across multi-bend setups.
SPEC
CNC Bender
Programmable bend angles and lengths for repeatable production runs.
SPEC
Round & Square Tube
Multi-profile tooling library — handrails, cages, frames, ornamental tube.
SPEC
Multi-Bend Setups
Complex bend sequences in a single setup — locked once, run quantity.
Confidential Work
NDA-Backed Prototype & Proprietary Builds.
If you're developing a product, a proprietary fixture, or a part you don't want photographed on someone's social media — say so. We sign NDAs and we keep our mouth shut. Your design stays your design.
- Mutual NDAs available before quoting
- No public posting of confidential builds
- Drawings & CAD held only as long as needed
- One owner-operator means one chain of trust
Why This Matters
Why CNC Capability Beats Quote-And-Pray.
01
Tighter Tolerance
Hand-fab can hit ±1/16" on a good day. CNC press-brake forming hits production tolerances every time.
02
Faster Turnaround
What used to ship out of state and come back in three weeks now happens here, this week.
03
Real Production Runs
Lock the program once and run quantity. Same part, same dimension, every time.
04
Lower Total Cost
Less waste, fewer setups, no outside markup. We pass the savings down the quote.
05
Single Source
Cut, form, weld, finish — one shop. One quote. One person to call when something needs to change.
06
Engineered For Forming
We design parts knowing how they'll bend. No surprises at the press brake. No reworks.
