How Saltworks 3D Solutions is Shaping the Future of Custom Metal Fabrication
Home » Saltworks MFG
Custom 3D metal formed fender flare for 1965 Scout built by Saltworks 3D Solutions and Saltworks MFG

Saltworks 3D Solutions is not just delivering the future of metal forming. We are living it.

Our advanced 3D metal shaping technology is helping industries innovate and creators dream bigger. It is also powering projects we care deeply about, like the custom ’65 Scout build happening right now at Saltworks MFG, our sister company and fabrication shop.

We are not just restoring a classic. We are rewriting its story.

It started with a scan. We captured the original fenders in a zero-thickness digital surface model, preserving every curve and line. From there, we programmed the part to meet the specifications of our forming machine. Because of the panel size and the machine’s maximum forming area (57 inches by 39 inches), we split the design into two sections.

Then it was time to create.

We loaded flat sheets of aluminum into the machine. Within 50 minutes, the first custom panel was fully formed. No molds. No dies. Just precision, speed, and vision.

After forming, the panels went through several critical stages:

  • Post processing to manage material tension and prevent deformities
  • Trimming the parts cleanly from the parent sheet with a one-inch margin for joining
  • Scanning and verifying each panel to ensure a perfect fit

Once completed, the panels were welded together and seamlessly joined to the Scout’s body, preserving the vehicle’s integrity while elevating its design.

This is not traditional fabrication. This is the future.

At Saltworks 3D Solutions, we do not just create parts. We create possibilities. Whether you are restoring a legend or building something completely new, we have the tools, the team, and the technology to make it happen.

If you are ready to shape something extraordinary, we are ready to get to work.
