Taylor Industries offers design and fabrication services through Taylor Industries Design and Fabrication. We bring your dream to life through our 4 step program of Consultation, Design, Plan for Fabrication/Materials, and Fabrication. We let you sit back and relax as we do the heavy lifting of bringing what you desire into the real world.

Consultation

The first, and perhaps most exciting stage is Consultation. Simply put, what do you want, and how can we bring your idea to life? Consultation is free and secure, meant to allow you the space to focus on your idea. At this stage we want to set aside any concerns with regards to price or physical viability. Our service is meant to bring ideas to life at a price point both you and TI think is acceptable. We want to make sure the average consumer is able to properly explore their desires for something unique and personal. As for physical viability, we have a wealth of experience in our ability to bring about the most elusive ideas as physical products in clever, novel ways that surprise.

Design

Design is the true heart of any good product, as it influences how it is made, and how it will function in your hands. Our engineers take all of this into account. We have over 5 years of experience and numerous tools at our disposal, we give our clients something made for them in as little time as possible.

Plan for Fabrication/Materials

After design comes a Plan for Fabrication/Materials. This is where the link between an idea in the digital domain, and the physical product is made. As with anything else, the foundation for doing something well requires a plan. To make sure a good product is made, we conduct a Plan for Fabrication as a way to lay out the steps we need to build this idea. Materials, short for Bill of Materials, is the full list of what actually goes into your product. From the volume of 3d print material, to the individual bolt, we ensure value is achieved. The reasoning behind listing these items as a step is a belief in full transparency - of how we create your product, and as a way to let you know what exactly goes on behind the curtain.

Fabrication

The last step before your product is in your hands, Fabrication is where the magic happens. Whether your product is machined, cast, printed, carved, or any number of operations used to complete your idea, TI's fabrication team also has years of experience in multiple processes under their belt. Our promise to you is the ability to shape material in a way that you see fit for your idea.

TIDF Specials

Bring Your Own Materials (BYOM)

BYOM is a program launched by TIDF to investigate novel ideas for products while operating on a near shoe-string budget. This allows the prospective consumer to find themselves a bargain for something that truly is one of a kind. The BYOM program allows for the commissioning of products by a prospective client, where the client pays only for the materials listed on a product's Bill of Materials page.
