Artifact Fabrication Expands In-House Capabilities with New Powder Coating Department

Faster Lead Times, Lower Costs, Greater Quality Control—All Under One Roof

Artifact Fabrication is proud to announce the launch of our new in-house powder coating services, marking a major milestone in our continued investment in speed, reliability, quality—and now, significant cost savings for our customers.

This expansion represents months of planning, testing, and hands-on training, backed by major investments in top-of-the-line finishing equipment, including:

  • Electron powder coating systems

  • A 275 cubic foot industrial curing oven

  • IPG-powered laser stripping technology

  • A complete lineup of environmentally responsible cleaning and surface-prep systems

By bringing powder coating completely in-house, we are eliminating one of the most time-consuming and cost-intensive stages of traditional metal fabrication. This move allows us to:

  • Reduce outsourced powder coating lead times by up to two full weeks

  • Offer powder-coated fabricated parts in as fast as 24 hours

  • Cut handling and transportation of finished goods by nearly 50%

  • Substantially reduce rejection risk caused by third-party transfers and re-handling

  • Lower total project cost through reduced logistics, labor, and outsourcing overhead

Less handling and full process control under one roof directly translate into meaningful cost reductions for our customers. As this department ramps up, we expect very noticeable improvements in powder coat pricing built directly into the parts we manufacture, creating long-term value without sacrificing quality or speed.

This project has been in development for several months and was executed with extensive internal testing, structured training, and the direct guidance of respected local finishing service experts who helped us refine and validate our process prior to full launch.

Looking ahead, we are actively planning:

  • Recurring advanced training

  • Strategic partnerships with nationally recognized finishing institutions

  • Ongoing staffing and skills development within our finishing department

Powder coating services are now available both for:

  • Customers who already rely on Artifact Fabrication for cutting, forming, and welding, and

  • Standalone custom powder coating projects within our technical capabilities.

This expansion strengthens our vertically integrated manufacturing model while reinforcing our core mission:
Prototype Speed. Production Quality.
From raw material to fully finished product, more of your project is now controlled, optimized, and delivered under one roof—with faster timelines, lower risk, and improved pricing.

We’re fully geared up, officially live, and excited to grow this department alongside our customers. The future of fast, reliable, cost-efficient, high-quality finishing at Artifact Fabrication starts now!
