Fast and done right, even when the drawing isn't perfect. 5-axis CNC machining, big-format CNC up to 5 × 10 ft, fabrication, tube laser, 3D measurement and custom foam, all under one 4,000 ft² roof.
Five sides of a part in one clamping: tighter tolerances, fewer setups, a better price on complex parts.
Tube, pipe, angle and channel up to 9 m, with every hole, slot and cope cut in one pass. Book a first-run slot.
A portable CMM and laser scanner: parts, frames and whole machines checked against the CAD model where they stand.
Built for the bigger jobs: complete assemblies, large parts, production batches. One quote, one team, parts checked before they ship.
01Machined, cut and marked to your drawing.
02Frames, panels and assemblies, start to finish.
03Measured, finished and packed for the road.
Most shops wait for a perfect drawing. We help you get there: engineering, R&D, finding the materials nobody else can, and running the whole job so you deal with one team.
DFM, CAD and reverse engineering. We fix the drawing before it costs you, or draw it from a sketch or the old part.
Test fits, 3D prints and first articles, iterated in days, not weeks, until it works on your bench.
Odd alloys, obsolete parts and specialty processes. Our supplier network and U-Fab find what others can't.
One contact from idea to delivered part: schedule, vendors, finishing, inspection and shipping handled.
Full 5 × 10 ft sheets and aluminum plate up to 2″ thick, cut on our own CNC in one piece and held flat. Facade panels, screens, signs, base plates and big weldments: the jobs most shops pass on.
A 6 kW laser spins tube, pipe, angle and channel in its chucks and cuts every hole, slot and cope in one pass. Parts come off ready to weld.
A portable CMM and hand-held laser scanner. One person checks a part, a frame or a whole machine against the CAD model, in our shop or on your site.
Two-tone EVA on the router: we cut pockets to the shape of your tools, the bright core shows through every empty pocket, and a missing tool is obvious at a glance.
Two-tone EVA sheets from C$80 · custom inserts priced as you draw · ships across Canada
Our family built EDM spark-erosion machines under the Pishtazan name from 1983. Spark Laser followed in Richmond in 2014, and in 2020 Yousef and Jeremy Malins founded Spark Fabrication beside it. Three generations of making things that make things, now proudly Canadian.
Our story and the shop video
No call centre, no auto-quote robot. When you send a drawing, it lands with the people in this video: machinists, fabricators and engineers who build machines for a living, in Richmond, BC.
U-FabricationBeta
U-Fabrication is our Canadian manufacturing marketplace: post a project once and vetted Canadian shops quote it, from casting and plating to volume production. Made in Canada, start to finish.
Send it over. A real person who builds machines will reply within 24 to 48 hours with a price, a date or a couple of questions.
