Powersports Plastic Fabrication & Metal Fabrication

As a leading provider in the powersports industry, Aubright offers premium custom metal and plastic fabrication services. We can combine robust metals and lightweight plastics to create components that balance sleek aesthetics with rugged functionality, enhancing product durability and performance while ensuring efficient production processes. This allows us to address the needs of demanding applications such as windshields with reinforced metal frames, roofs with metal brackets, and UTV cabin enclosures.

With a reputation for delivering tight tolerances and quick turnarounds, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) from a breadth of industries rely on Aubright for their custom plastic manufacturing and metal manufacturing needs.

Aubright’s Custom Plastic Fabrication in Powersports: Our Specialty

Since 1983, Aubright has provided customers in the powersports industry with custom plastic fabrication services, offering custom plastic forming capabilities that include:

  • Vacuum forming: Used for trailer tubs, gas tank shields, and other complex parts that require precise inside dimensions.
  • Drape forming: Ideal for products requiring gradual bends or curves, such as protective shields and windshields.
  • Screen printing: Used to add vibrant graphics and branding to plastic components.

Our integrated metal fabrication services make it possible to realize a wide range of product solutions for the powersports industry.

Benefits of Custom Plastic Fabrication and Metal Fabrication in Powersports

At Aubright, we utilize durable plastic materials such as TPO sheets and polyethylene to improve chemical and impact resistance in fabricated parts, with metal reinforcements to help enhance the longevity of lightweight plastic components.

Additional benefits our custom plastic fabrication and metal fabrication services provide include:

  • Precision: We use CNC machining and CAD software to achieve tight tolerances, which is critical for high-performance powersports vehicles.
  • Efficiency: Our streamlined manufacturing processes significantly reduce costs and lead times, so customers can receive quality solutions when they need them.
  • Customization: Our hybrid approach to custom plastic fabrication allows us to tailor-fit designs for aftermarket and OEM applications.
  • Engineering: Our expert engineers turn your approved design concept into a successful finished product that meets all of your requirements. We work closely with our customers to develop an individualized fabrication process that adheres to your budget and fulfillment needs.

Applications of Plastic Fabrication and Metal Fabrication in Powersports Equipment

Our custom plastic manufacturing solutions cater to a broad range of powersports applications, including but not limited to:

  • Accessories (hatch doors, rod lockers, cup holders, etc.)
  • Boat and motorcycle windshields
  • Marine shelving and dashboards
  • Snowmobile body panels and skid plates
  • UTV/ATV windshields and plastics
  • UTV body panels

Types of Custom Plastic Manufacturing for Powersports

At Aubright, we can utilize a variety of custom plastic forming techniques, such as:

Vacuum Forming

This method offers numerous advantages over other plastic forming processes. First, it uses low forming pressures, which can significantly lower tooling costs and reduce production times for small and medium-sized runs. Vacuum forming also allows for versatility, producing parts in a range of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. We can adapt to customers’ specific needs, choosing the materials that best suit their requirements regarding durability, strength, and other desired properties.

Drape Forming

Drape forming features exceptional precision. It is ideal for windshields and other curved parts, providing advantages such as:

  • High production runs: Drape forming enables rapid production of powersports parts and components without compromising quality or accuracy.
  • Versatility: This forming method works well with different designs and various plastic materials. We can achieve especially impressive results when handling large panels and other complex applications.
  • Cost-effective: Drape forming saves money on low-volume projects, producing consistent, high-quality components within budgetary constraints.

CNC Routing

We can use CNC routing to create intricate details and complex shapes with tight tolerances across large production runs. In turn, customers can enjoy the following benefits:

  • Consistent quality
  • High precision
  • Minimal waste
  • Repeatability
  • Superior accuracy

Heavy Equipment

Assemblies used in heavy equipment and vehicles require extra protection from harsh climates, temperatures, shock, and vibration. This may include water-tight or fireproof enclosures, heavy-duty insulation, robust brackets, or specialized materials.

Military

Military applications must often meet specific standards for materials, design, and durability in extreme conditions. Assemblies may include extra-rugged wire and cable harnesses; water-, fire-, or explosion-proof enclosures; or even cleanroom assembly to eliminate contamination risk for highly sensitive circuitry.

Types of Custom Metal Manufacturing for Powersports

At Aubright, our metal fabrication services adhere to all industry standards to ensure precision and strength in the following capabilities:

  • Tube fabrication: Our advanced tube fabrication processes are ideal for achieving complex tubular structures and components as well as simple tubular forms.
  • Metal bending: This method produces frames, dashboards, and other structural elements. We can handle metal forming and bending of metals up to 0.5″ thick, using CNC technology for guaranteed accuracy.
  • Welding: We use resistance and MIG welding to ensure durable joints for hybrid assemblies, achieving tight tolerances with unsurpassed consistency and speed.
