OUR CAPABILITIES
Everything your part needs. One quality system.
Stamping, fabrication, welding, and assembly, manufactured by one team, in one quality system. We help production buyers choose fabrication or stamping based on volume and cost.
Hard alloys. Held to print.
Carbon Steel to nickel alloys, and everything in between, formed to tight tolerances, the way we have since 1929.
MATERIALS WE RUN
Stainless Steel
Carbon Steel
Aluminum
Copper & Brass
Spring Steel
Titanium
Nickel alloys
PROTOTYPE THROUGH PRODUCTION
One partner, prototype through production
Most suppliers quote a one-off, then hand production to another shop when volume arrives. That handoff is where cost, lead time, and accountability go. We start with Design for Manufacturing: the right process for the print, then move you between fabrication and stamping as volume and cost change, prototype through production, on one quality system.
01 / Design
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
02 / Scale
Scalable by design
A seamless transition from initial prototyping to mass production; the qualification you pass once carries through.
03 / Quote
Expert, fast quoting
Accurate pricing on custom stamping and fabrication, reviewed by people with hands-on experience.
04 / Partner
Total project partner
One supplier for tooling, stamping, fabrication, and assembly, so you own one relationship, not five.
01 · SHORT TO MEDIUM RUN
Modular tooling for short to medium run stamping
Standardized, interchangeable die components slash upfront tooling costs and lead times, so you can scale and iterate without major capital expense.
Lower tooling cost. Shorter lead times.
02 · PRODUCTION
Progressive-die at volume
As your volumes grow, we transition seamlessly to progressive-die stamping: no new supplier, no requalification.
From first article to full production.
03 · PROTOTYPE THROUGH PRODUCTION
Laser-cut fabrication and soft tooling
Fabrication with laser cutting and soft tooling proves the print so a production program can scale. We use it to lock process and cost, not to run one-off R&D parts.
Same Line
Same Team
Same Quality System
Can you handle both prototype and higher-volume production orders?
Yes. We’re a “total project partner,” capable of managing your part from initial design and prototype through to higher-volume production. We use laser cutting and soft tooling for prototypes and short runs to minimize cost, then transition seamlessly to progressive-die stamping as your volumes increase.
What makes Dayton Rogers different from other metal stampers?
With nearly 100 years of experience (since 1929), we literally “wrote the book” on metal forming design (The Red Book). We differentiate ourselves by offering both short-run modular stamping and higher-volume progressive stamping as well as fabrication under one roof, each location backed by AS9100/ISO9001 certifications and ITAR registration.
Where are your metal stamping and fabrication facilities located?
We have four strategic manufacturing facilities across the United States to ensure domestic quality and minimize shipping lead times: Minneapolis, MN (Headquarters), Columbus, OH, Columbia, SC, and Arlington, TX.
What certifications do you hold for defense and aerospace projects?
Dayton Rogers is AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001:2015 certified, as well as ITAR registered. We adhere to strict quality management systems to meet the rigorous requirements of the aerospace, defense, medical, and energy industries.
How do I get a copy of the Red Book design handbook?
Request free PDF copy of our Red Book (Metalforming Design Handbook) directly from our website. This technical manual provides critical design guidelines, formulas, and “Do’s and Don’ts” to help engineers design cost-effective stamped parts.
INDUSTRIES
Built for regulated, demanding work.
The sectors where a missed tolerance or an unqualified supplier isn’t an option, and where our certifications and materials are the price of entry.
PROOF
Proof, not adjectives.
A real customer, in their own words, and the kind of case detail a procurement engineer actually checks. We’ll take that over calling ourselves a “trusted industry leader.”
