why dix metals

What is it about DIX Metals that brings so many customers from all across the country? Three things sum it up concisely: cost effectiveness, custom work, and specialization.

What exactly does that mean?

Cost-effective
While many companies say they are cost-effective, they usually mean they are inexpensive. In the case of DIX Metals, it’s about net savings for its customers. DIX Metals can prepare blanks for precision machining faster and for less money than it would cost most facilities to do it in-house. This represents a substantial reduction in money and time expenditure for you.

Custom/made-to-order
While DIX Metals also produces common sizes of blanks ready for machining, the company's forte lies in its ability to work with virtually any material in any size. Your specifications can be met with tolerances as close as .001. This means DIX Metals is able to cater to the unique needs of anything from aerospace to medical.

Specialized
All DIX Metals does is prepare precision blanks. An enormous investment has been dedicated to the purchase and improvement of machinery specifically designed to precision-grind materials for machine-ready blanks. The company does not do any final machining and never competes with its customers.

In addition to offering 6061 aluminum plate and other materials, our services include precision material removal processes and cutting such as Blanchard grinding, double-disc grinding, duplex milling, waterjet cutting and others — all dedicated to the preparation of precision, made-to-order metal blanks.
