Metal lighting fixtures and components hang on high-quality manufacturing, superior materials, and ISO-certified techniques. So, we use a Proven Process that aims to streamline fabrication and produce parts without error.
Expertly Fabricated Metal Lighting Components
KRYTON Engineered Metals is a one-stop metal fabrication shop. Our experts can turn complicated concepts into functional components using a full suite of manufacturing methodologies. From rapid prototyping (RP) and non-destructive testing (NDT) to hand spinning and parts assembly, we know the drill. And our crew can answer all your questions along the way.
Designing new lighting fixtures or engineering better components? The KRYTON team specializes in metal cutting, metal spinning, and post-process techniques. We also set the standard for metal finishing, welding, and rapid assembly. Plus, our approach encourages collaboration between end users, engineers, and vendors, ensuring the most efficient outcomes.
Our process sheds new light on modern metal manufacturing, with sophisticated technologies, robust machinery, and talented staff. We also harness the power the industry-leading tactics, such as:
Prototyping & Modeling
Use 2D and 3D CAD software to conduct a simulation analysis.
Tubing & Bending
Manipulate cylindrical metal parts to achieve perfect angles.
Sheet Cutting & Forming
Enjoy efficient laser cutting with tight tolerances and ultra-clean edges.
Finishing & Assembly
Prep, treat, and coat metals to resist corrosion and achieve the desired look.
