Custom Fabrication

The Custom Fabrication product category covers OEM replacement parts and special mesh assemblies that do not fit a single catalog family — welded filter sleeves, framed panels, multilayer packs, conical screens, perforated-supported parts and wedge wire assemblies built from drawings or samples. Buyers often have a worn part, partial dimension list or PDF drawing without a clean BOM; KAIFIL reviews materials, tolerances and manufacturability before quoting. Capabilities span cutting, edging, welding, stamping, forming, assembly and export packing. Send drawing format (PDF, DWG, STEP), material grade, filtration rating if applicable, installation dimensions, working conditions and annual quantity — we confirm key missing details before quotation, with NDA available on request and lead time confirmed per project after specification lock, including separate sample and production MOQ when validation is required.

Common specification problems· 01

Problems we solve before quoting.

Common specification problemsCatalog product almost fits but tolerance or interface fails

Drawing-based fabrication with DFM feedback on tolerance, material and cost before you commit to batch production.

Common specification problemsMissing or incomplete drawing data

We work from sample photos, marked-up PDFs and dimension tables — list what you know and we confirm critical gaps before quote.

Common specification problemsConfidential OEM design

NDA execution on request; drawings used only for quotation and production, not shared with third parties.

Common specification problemsUnclear whether to source mesh roll or finished part

We quote finished fabricated parts and can align raw mesh supply with the same lot when validation requires — state your preference on RFQ.

How to specify custom fabrication.

What custom fabrication requests are common?

Typical RFQs include stainless mesh cylinders, welded filter sleeves, framed mesh panels, filter discs, multilayer screen packs, strainer baskets, conical screens, perforated-metal-supported mesh parts, wedge wire assemblies and custom filter components from drawings or samples. If your part combines multiple processes, send the assembly drawing rather than only the mesh callout.

Multi-step parts (cut mesh, weld frame, insert perforated core, assemble pack) should be sent as one assembly drawing with item numbers — quoting mesh alone without frame often misses tolerance stack-up at the gasket seat.

What should your drawing or RFQ include?

Material grade, filtration rating or mesh specification, all installation dimensions and tolerances, weld or edge requirements, operating temperature and media, quantity and required documents (material cert, dimensional report). Photos of worn samples help when dimensions are hard to measure in service.

Weld symbols, edge prep and inspection class (visual, dye penetrant where applicable) should match your quality plan — state required documentation on RFQ so inspection time is included in lead time.

DFM feedback and sampling workflow

After drawing review we return material, tolerance and cost feedback — typically within one to two business days for complete packages. Samples or first-article photos are offered when weldment complexity or interface validation requires it; batch schedule follows sample approval.

Prototype or sample quantity before batch OEM release is common — we quote sample stage separately from production MOQ when validation is required. Sample approval may be photo-based or dimensional report based on your criteria.

Tolerances, NDA and data handling

Tolerances are quoted to your drawing where achievable; unreachable combinations are flagged in DFM. NDAs are standard for OEM programs — request execution when opening the project. Data deletion on request after project close is available.

Export packing (carton, crate, VCI, pallet pattern) can follow siteSettings defaults or your PO packing spec — note if parts are sharp or heavy and need edge guards. Marking part number and revision on each piece reduces mix-ups at your line.

What should I send for an accurate fabrication quotation?

PDF, DWG or STEP with material, tolerances, quantity and process notes. List missing dimensions you cannot measure. Note required inspection documents on the PO.

When only a worn sample exists, bag and ship the sample or send caliper photos with reference scale — list dimensions you cannot reach in service. We return a DFM note listing missing data before formal price.

MOQ and lead time

MOQ and price depend on process steps, alloy and inspection level — confirmed per quote, not from a single site-wide number. Lead time follows material availability and process load after specification lock. For full process detail see the Custom Fabrication landing page at /custom-fabrication/.

Browse product categories for standard families; fabrication fills gaps when catalog geometry or tolerance does not fit. Full NDA and drawing workflow detail is also on the Custom Fabrication landing page at /custom-fabrication/.

Use standard product categories when a catalog family fits your duty; use this fabrication hub when tolerance, interface or multi-process assembly requires a drawing-based quote. The dedicated Custom Fabrication landing page at /custom-fabrication/ describes DFM workflow, NDA and file submission in more detail. Related categories for raw mesh, discs, cylinders and sintered media appear in the related categories section — reference them in your RFQ when the fabricated part includes purchased sub-components we should source or you will supply.

Multi-component assemblies should list which parts KAIFIL fabricates versus which you supply FOC — this avoids double-counting mesh or plate on the quote. Revision control on the drawing (rev letter and date) should match your PO; we return a DFM note listing any missing dimensions before formal price. Prototype quantity, production MOQ and export packing can be quoted as separate line items when your validation gate requires sample approval before batch release.

FAQ· 05

Custom Fabrication questions.

Yes. Request NDA execution when you open the project; we review drawings under confidentiality before quoting.

STEP, PDF or DWG with material, thickness, weld symbols and critical tolerances highlighted. Photos and marked-up sketches are fine for early feasibility.

Yes—define inspection points and documentation on the PO. We align in-process checks before batch release.

Yes—multi-component assemblies are common. Bill of materials and sequence are confirmed before production.

After drawing review and material confirmation; sampling may apply for new weldments—lead time confirmed per quote, not assumed.
