Tight Tolerances, Repeatable Cuts, Fast Turnaround
Repeatable Holes and Notches That Fit the First Time
TriPoint Fabrication runs commercial punching and notching for GCs, OEMs, glazing contractors, roofing contractors, refrigeration shops, and industrial manufacturers across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. From our shop in Cedar Hill, Texas, we punch accurate hole patterns, slots, and notches into sheet metal and plate, then form, weld, and finish those same parts under one roof. For commercial work where a part has to fit an assembly the first time, that consistency is the point: prints in, parts out, on time, built right.
13 Years of Expierence
We know our market because we work in it.
Most of our business is repeat work from commercial clients who have learned that a shop they can actually reach, on a project that actually delivers on time, is worth more than the cheapest bid. What that means for you is simple. When you send us a print, you get a real quote back fast. You get a real shop foreman who answers the phone. You get a finished part that fits the first time. Our welders carry AWS and ASME certifications, and we are actively pursuing ISO 9001 certification to formalize the quality systems we already run day to day.
Programmed Once, Repeated Exactly
CNC Sheet Metal Punching Technology
Modern CNC punching holds tolerances and produces patterns that manual work cannot match across volume. We have invested in the equipment and the software to make that capability deliver for commercial clients:
CNC turret and punching equipment
We are set up for B2B work. Our processes, pricing, and scheduling are built around the kinds of jobs commercial GCs, OEMs, and industrial manufacturers actually run.
Experienced laser operators
Our laser operators have the experience to set up a job for the best balance of speed, edge quality, and material yield. The difference between a part that works and a part that works well is rarely the machine; it is the person running it.
Edge quality standards
The parts we cut come off the laser ready for forming, welding, or finishing with minimal secondary work. Clean kerfs, square edges, and tight tolerances are not optional. They are how the part has to come out before it leaves the cell.
Reliable project turnaround
We quote fast, schedule honestly, and hit the dates we commit to. When a project depends on fabrication delivery, reliability matters more than the cheapest bid.
Quality systems that match the work
ISO 9001 certification is in progress, and our quality systems are not marketing language; they are how we run the shop, from first-article inspection through final part release.
Custom fabrication solutions
From one-off prototype parts to production runs, we adapt our process to your project, not the other way around.
Why Commercial Projects Rely on Punched and Notched Parts
Benefits of Commercial Punching & Notching
Precision and consistency
Programmed once and repeated exactly, so part 1 and part 1,000 carry the same hole placement and pattern. That predictability is what assemblies depend on.
Efficient turnaround
Once a program is loaded, punching runs fast and steady, and that speed gets built into the lead times we quote.
Cost-effective fabrication
Nested layouts and repeatable setups keep material use efficient and pricing in line with production work.
Custom design flexibility
Complex hole patterns, slots, and notch configurations come off the same equipment without extra handoffs.
Scalable production
From a short run to a long one, the process holds quality as the order ramps up.

Commercial roofing companies
Notched and punched blanks are ready for forming into copings, flashings, and edge metal.
Industrial manufacturing
Production brackets, enclosures, and structural parts for OEMs and plant operations.
Commercial waterproofing contractors
Custom punched terminations and notched components that integrate with waterproofing assemblies.
Commercial refrigeration companies
Stainless panels and brackets are punched to tight tolerances for walk-in cooler and freezer.
Architectural construction projects
Punched and notched components for bars, schools, restaurants, and specialty commercial interiors.
General contractors
Custom-fabricated parts that keep a commercial buildout moving without chasing a separate vendor.
Programmed Once, Repeated Exactly
CNC Sheet Metal Punching Technology
Modern CNC punching holds tolerances and produces patterns that manual work cannot match across volume. The equipment matters, but the operators matter more. Our team knows how to set up a job for the right balance of speed, accuracy, and material use. We have invested in the equipment and the software to make that capability deliver for commercial clients:
CNC turret and punching equipment
Consistent hole placement and pattern accuracy across long production runs.
Complex hole patterns and configurations
Round holes, slots, louvers, and custom perforations programmed directly from your drawing.
CAD/CAM integration
Send us your DXF, DWG, or STEP files, and we will quickly convert them into punch programs.
Efficient production workflow
Nested layouts make the most of each sheet, keeping material yield up and your costs in line.
Stainless, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Galvanized & Architectural Metals
Materials We Punch & Notch
If your project calls for a specific alloy, gauge, or finish, talk to us before you commit, and we will confirm the right material for the job. We punch and notch the materials commercial and industrial projects call for, in the gauges that show up most often in commercial work:
Stainless Steel
Food service, refrigeration, and corrosion-resistant applications.
Aluminum
Architectural panels and lightweight structural components.
Carbon Steel
Structural fabrication and industrial assemblies.
Galvanized steel
Coated components where corrosion protection is built in.
Architectural metals
Specialty finishes for visible commercial applications.

Why Commercial Contractors Choose TriPoint
There are plenty of shops in Texas that own a punch press. Here is what commercial clients tell us makes TriPoint different:
Commercial fabrication expertise
Our processes, pricing, and scheduling are built around the jobs commercial GCs, OEMs, and industrial manufacturers actually run.

Tight tolerances on hole placement and notch accuracy, because a part that does not fit costs you the install, not just the part.
Fast, honest turnaround
Part 1 and part 1,000 come off the laser the same way.
Custom fabrication solutions
From one-off punched parts to full production runs, we adapt our process to your project.
Reliable production quality
AWS- and ASME-certified welders, CNC-controlled equipment, and ISO 9001 certification in progress back the parts we ship.
Experienced B2B team
A real foreman on your job and a real person on the phone when something needs to change.
Accurate Holes, Slots, and Patterns at Production Volume
Professional Sheet Metal Punching Services
Punching is how we create precise, repeatable openings in commercial sheet metal without the cleanup left by other methods. Our CNC punching handles round holes, slots, louvers, embosses, and patterned perforations across a production run, with each part matching the one before it. That repeatability is what commercial clients build their schedules around.
We handle the high-volume work, hundreds or thousands of identical panels and brackets, alongside the custom punched components that a single buildout calls for. Tooling is set up for the gauges and hole patterns that show up most often in commercial fabrication, so your parts come off the machine ready for the next step.
