Design

At XYC Metalworks, we turn ideas into engineered, fabrication-ready designs for stainless steel and aluminum architectural elements. Our custom design services serve as the foundation for every successful metalwork project—ensuring what’s drawn on paper can be built on-site with precision, budget control, and speed.

We are the engineering partner of choice for turnkey project solutions, backed by over 500+ landmark projects and 20+ patents.

🚧 Challenges We Help Solve

🧠 What Our Custom Design Services Include

We work with your team to ensure your project develops in a smooth and efficient way:

Concept Translation: We work with your team to transform architectural sketches or references into detailed, manufacturable designs—respecting both the creative brief and engineering limitations.

3D Modeling & CAD Drawings: Every custom piece begins with precision-engineered drawings and 3D models, enabling you to visualize structure, connection points, bending angles, and tolerances before production begins. We use AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, and Revit-compatible outputs.

Material & Structural Advisory: We help select appropriate metal types (304/316 stainless steel, aluminum, titanium-coated finishes, etc.) based on location, function, durability needs, and cost-efficiency.

Workability & Risk Analysis: We simulate how the product will behave during fabrication and installation, identifying potential failure points, weld issues, or fitting misalignments before they occur.

Rapid Prototyping & Review Loops: Need to test appearance or assembly? We offer scaled-down samples, mockups, and working prototypes for stakeholder validation before mass fabrication.

Production-Ready Output: Once approved, we deliver cutting files, folding plans, BOMs, and full production drawings—aligned with our CNC and robotic fabrication systems for seamless handoff.

🏗️ Metal Components We Typically Design

We specialize in high-precision, fabrication-ready designs for:

Wall cladding systems (flat, curved, 3D modules)

Ceilings with integrated lighting or HVAC cutouts

Elevator interiors and door panels

Decorative screens and Mashrabiya panels

Handrails, frames, and structural accessories

Roofing components with custom edge folding

Column wraps and transition detailing

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What software do you use for design?

We use AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, and Revit-compatible outputs to integrate smoothly with BIM environments and architectural workflows.

Q2: Can I send you sketches or photos as starting points?

Yes. We’ve helped clients go from hand-drawn napkin sketches to fully engineered façade systems.

Q3: Do you provide only design, or design + fabrication?

We offer both. You can use us just for design consulting or as a full turnkey partner (design → prototype → fabrication → finishing → delivery).

Q4: How long does it take to complete a custom design?

Depends on complexity. Basic components can take 3–7 days. Full assemblies or architectural packages may require 2–3 weeks with reviews and revisions.

Q5: What if I already have drawings but need optimization?

We’ll review and suggest value engineering, fabrication simplification, or cost-effective material alternatives—without compromising design.

Q6: Can I reuse a design across multiple sites?

Yes. We can modularize your system so it scales for malls, hospitals, franchises, or multi-phase rollouts.
