At Ability Fabricators, stainless steel design and engineering is where ideas become reality. Our in-house team combines industrial design expertise with hands-on engineering to create equipment that meets your specific process needs.
Supporting clients across North America, our capabilities and expertise are trusted in a variety of industries where safety, sanitation, and durability are non-negotiable.
Our custom metal fabrication and industrial design company is trusted across Toronto, the GTA, Ontario, Canada and beyond.
Ability Fabricators is an engineering partner with the experience, tools, and in-house talent to take your concept through every stage of design and development.
Our industrial design capabilities go hand-in-hand with our expert fabrication insights. Every design is created with manufacturability in mind, reducing revisions, downtime, and cost.
We work closely with industrial and commercial clients, leveraging a collaborative approach to create stainless steel products that are practical, compliant, and built to last.
While we offer several standardized products, from blenders to enclosures, sometimes an idea comes along to revolutionize the industry. We’re devoted to helping companies make their visions come to life.
Working with both end users and engineering consultants, we will translate your concepts and designs into reliable manufactured products.
Our design process starts with clear 2D drafts in AutoCAD or SolidWorks to establish the foundation of your concept and resolve early issues. From there, we build detailed 3D models in SolidWorks to give you a full visual representation of the design and support feasibility checks and specification adjustments before fabrication begins.
We can assist with prototyping, from running the design through a simulator with real-world physics to building a working model. With larger projects, it’s likely we won’t be able to experiment with multiple physical models, but we can get an idea of how the project would function.
Our mechanical engineers can create a step-by-step workflow to assemble your design. During this phase, sizes or materials may need to be changed to ensure success. If the product is to be mass-produced, the process will be optimized for maximum efficiency.
In industries where equipment runs continuously, reliable powder handling systems are critical.
We’ll help you design and develop a power supply, control panels, insulators, circuit breakers, and everything else you need. We’ll carry out risk assessments and ensure your product is safe to use.
From tanks and pumps to valves and piping, we engineer stainless steel liquid processing equipment built for durability and hygiene. Using corrosion-resistant stainless steel, we ensure safe and reliable performance across demanding liquid applications.
Our role doesn’t end at design. Our quality control and assurance experts repeatedly test completed products before declaring the job done, devising a schedule for how often routine maintenance should be carried out to ensure your product is completely safe and fully finished.
Our engineering process consulting helps you align your stainless steel design with your performance goals, compliance requirements, and cost targets.
By focusing on design for manufacturing, our team of experts ensures every project is practical, efficient, and ready for fabrication.
Ability Fabricators provides stainless steel design and engineering support for clients in industries where precision, hygiene, and reliability are critical. Each sector we work with presents unique challenges, whether it’s corrosion resistance, temperature stability, or sanitary design, and we adapt our engineering approach to meet those exact needs.
By collaborating with your team, we create equipment that fits seamlessly into your process and delivers measurable results.
Bring your concept to life with stainless steel design and engineering expertise trusted across North America. Our team is ready to collaborate from the first sketch to the final product rollout.
Most projects use 304L stainless steel for strong, general corrosion resistance. For more corrosive or high-purity applications, 316L stainless steel provides added protection.
When done correctly, welding maintains the strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. AFI’s engineers and fabricators follow strict standards to preserve material integrity.
Material choice, surface finish, and geometry all play roles. Smooth, non-porous surfaces reduce contamination and make cleaning easier, while choosing the right grade (304L or 316L) ensures compatibility with the media.
We account for thermal expansion and stress in both high-heat and cold conditions. Stainless steel maintains strength at elevated temperatures and resists brittleness at low temperatures when engineered properly.
Balancing strength with manufacturability can be challenging. Our design for manufacturing approach ensures that parts remain practical to fabricate without compromising performance.
By integrating design for manufacturing principles early, we simplify fabrication, reduce rework, and improve long-term performance. Our in-house engineers ensure every design choice supports cost-effective production and reliable use.
