Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for more information about our metal stamping, fabrication, powder coating, welding, or assembly services? This section covers common questions about our capabilities, lead times, prototyping process, engineering support, and more. Whether you’re starting a new project or refining an existing one, our FAQs are here to help you better understand how we work and how we can support your manufacturing needs.
What does Larsen Manufacturing do?
What industries do you serve?
- Industrial and general manufacturing
- Automotive and transportation supply chain
- Electronics and electrical systems
- Medical and healthcare manufacturing
- Energy and infrastructure
- Commercial equipment and appliances
If you are unsure whether your application fits our capabilities, you can share your requirements (drawing/specifications), and our team can confirm feasibility and production approach.
What manufacturing services do you provide?
- Precision metal stamping
- Sheet metal fabrication (cutting, punching, bending, forming)
- Machining (components, features, and precision finishing)
- Welding (MIG/TIG and other appropriate processes)
- Powder coating & surface finishing
- Prototyping and pilot runs
- Assembly (subassemblies and finished goods)
- Contract manufacturing solutions (end-to-end supply support)
Customers can engage Larsen for individual services or for turnkey production including fabrication + finishing + assembly.
Do you handle both prototyping and production?
- Prototyping for functional testing and design verification
- Pilot runs before full production
- Low, medium, and high volume manufacturing
We work with customers to ensure prototype intent is preserved when transitioning to scalable production.
What materials can you work with?
- Mild steel / carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Coated materials and specialty alloys (as required)
The best material depends on strength, corrosion resistance, finish requirements, operating conditions, and cost targets.
What file formats can I submit for quotation?
- PDF drawings
- CAD files (STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, etc.)
- Sample photos or sketches (for early concepts)
- ZIP folders containing multi-part assemblies
If you have only an idea or rough sketch, you can still contact us — we’ll advise the best next step.
What details are required to get a fast and accurate quote?
- Drawing/specification (preferred CAD + PDF)
- Material type and thickness
- Quantity (prototype quantity and expected annual volume)
- Tolerance requirements and critical dimensions
- Finish/coating requirement (if any)
- Assembly needs (if the part is part of a larger assembly)
- Target delivery location and expected timeline
The more complete the input, the faster we can respond with a firm quote and lead time.
Do you offer welding services? What types?
- MIG welding
- TIG welding
- Spot welding / projection welding
- Welded subassemblies and structural fabrication
Our team can recommend the appropriate welding process based on material type, strength requirements, and cosmetic finishing requirements.
Do you provide CNC machining?
Do you provide surface finishing and powder coating?
Can you deliver fully assembled products?
- Mechanical assembly
- Component integration
- Subassemblies and full assemblies
- Packaging and shipment support
If your product requires multiple components and fabrication stages, Larsen can often simplify your supply chain by delivering complete assembled units.
What quality standards do you follow?
- ISO 9001:2015 compliance
- IATF 16949 certification (for relevant facilities/programs)
- PPAP support
- Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and structured corrective action systems
If your project has industry-specific compliance requirements, you can share them during RFQ and we will confirm alignment.
What is PPAP and do you support it?
Yes – Larsen supports PPAP requirements when needed for qualifying production parts.
What are typical lead times?
- Complexity of part
- Material availability
- Tooling requirements
- Finishing/coating steps
- Order volume
Prototypes can often be completed faster than full production orders. The best method is to submit an RFQ with required quantity and delivery expectations so the team can provide realistic lead times.
Do you support long-term supply and repeat production?
Do you support custom parts?
Where are your facilities located?
How do I contact Larsen Manufacturing?
- The Contact form on the website
- Email/phone (as listed on the Contact page)
- RFQ form submission (recommended for quotations)
For technical quotations, RFQ is the fastest path because it lets you attach drawings and requirements.
How can I apply for a job at Larsen?
I have a question not listed here — what should I do?
Please send your query through the Contact page. If it’s related to manufacturing/quotation, the RFQ form is recommended because it helps our team respond quickly with accurate technical support.
