ReNEW Manufacturing’s Advantage in Large‑Format Machining and Fabrication Services

Written by ReNEW Manufacturing Solutions | 8/12/25 7:41 PM

Precision manufacturing always requires a great deal of skill to execute well, but when a part measures more than a foot in any direction, it becomes a different challenge entirely. 

Known as large-format machining and fabrication, these projects require a combination of specialized equipment, expertise, and workholding to execute successfully. 

Our team has invested heavily in delivering precision at these sizes. 

From large-format laser cutting services and quality fabricated solutions to precision machining, we've built a true one-stop shop for oversized parts.

The Challenges of Making Oversized Parts

With smaller parts, setups and changeovers can be measured in minutes. 

But in the world of oversized machining and fabrication services, you're working with components that can weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds. 

The size and weight of these parts create a process that isn't quite so straightforward. After all, these aren't pieces you can just pick up and move across the shop. 

They often require cranes, custom fixturing, and setup that can take 30 minutes or more.

The required equipment is in a different class, too. A standard CNC mill can be purchased for under $200,000, but a large-format machining center can easily run $500,000 to $1 million. 

It's a significant investment and one that only a handful of metal manufacturing facilities have been willing to make.

ReNEW Manufacturing Solutions is one of those few. 

Our facilities in Troy, OH, Clarence, PA, and Leander, TX, have been outfitted with state‑of‑the‑art vertical and horizontal mills, including dual‑pallet setups that reduce downtime between part changeovers. 

We’ve also added overhead cranes, custom workholding, and other infrastructure built specifically for oversized work. 

These investments allow us to say yes to more customers by reliably supporting industries where size and precision matter: heavy construction, agriculture, energy, power generation, and shipbuilding.

 

 

Complete Fabrication and Machining Under One Roof

Most large parts that make their way through our facilities need more than fabrication alone. 

Once they're laser-cut, bent, or welded, they often require precision machining to meet final specifications. 

Without large-format machining capabilities, these shops are forced to send parts elsewhere for finishing. That’s why so many projects end up bouncing between separate vendors, adding cost, delays, and risk every step of the way.

As a one-stop manufacturer, we eliminate that bottleneck. 

We provide both precision fabrication services and machining under one roof, making the process seamless from start to finish. Our team delivers quality results that save our customers time and money, removing the complexity (and associated risk) of transporting massive parts between suppliers.

The Experience Factor in Large-Format Work

While moving, setting up, and machining oversized parts is a mechanical challenge, it’s also a test of experience. 

When you're working with parts that can weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds, minor setup or programming errors can result in costly collisions that damage equipment and ruin parts. 

Our team understands these risks. 

We've spent years working with oversized parts and have the expertise to set up, run, and inspect them safely and precisely. 

We match human expertise with inspection capabilities designed for big work. From portable scanners to Faro arms, every part we produce is verified to spec before it leaves our facilities. 

We’re committed to never making anything that we can’t inspect properly. 

It’s an approach that gives our customers total confidence in our quality fabricated solutions and metal manufacturing services.

 

A One-Stop Shop for Oversized Manufacturing

From prototypes to full-scale production, ReNEW Manufacturing Solutions supports every phase of the oversized manufacturing process. 

We maintain redundancies in our equipment across three strategically located facilities, which allows us to manage long setup times more effectively and ensure that one site can pick up where another leaves off.

This scalability, combined with our investment in equipment, facilities, and people, uniquely positions us to handle the challenges of oversized machining and fabrication. 

In a space where complexity often drives cost and delays, we've built a one-stop shop that delivers precision, quality, and reliability.

If you're tackling a large-format machining or fabrication project, you don't have to piece it together across multiple suppliers.
