Bridging the gap between prototype and production
There’s a lot that can go wrong between developing a single complex tube prototype and scaling it to thousands of pieces a month. Bauer bridges the gap, providing expert design for manufacturability (DFM) support along with advanced bending and welding services. In the end, you get production-ready assemblies that always meet your specs and schedule.
Bent, welded and ready to scale
Bauer is your one-stop shop for complex tube bending, welding and more. Avoid late-stage reworks and production delays by designing for scalability from the start. No matter how challenging the design, you can rely on the industry’s best to deliver consistent assemblies, bent, welded, and ready to install.
You get:
- Production-ready prototypes built for scalability
- Precision complex CNC tube bending
- Robotic MIG welding with optical quality control
- Expert DFM guidance and redline reviews
- Full PPAP submission and customer-specific QA
And it all comes from a team in Minnesota that has solved your kinds of challenges before.
When others miss deadlines, Bauer gets it done
Misquotes, poor quality and missed deadlines can ruin your launch. Bauer’s process and people ensure they don’t.
How it works:
- RFQ response in two weeks or less
- Collaborative DFM and tolerance guidance
- Integrated team of bending, forming, welding and cutting engineers
- Extensive in-house die and fixture library
- Prototypes in weeks, not months
- Built-in quality checks at every stage
Trusted by product teams at top OEMs
“They’re saving at least $15 on a piece cost and hundreds of thousands on initial tooling.”
“We’ve never had a quality issue, never had a delivery issue.”
“If there's any exceptions or they're suggesting an alternative material or they're requesting additional tolerance on something, they're making sure they do their front-end work, which is good to see.”
Four steps. Zero surprises.
- Submit your design – Send us a print or model. We'll respond in one business day.
- Get DFM Edge feedback – Our engineers review tolerances, material and manufacturability.
- Build your parts – We cut, bend, weld and inspect for accuracy and repeatability.
- Launch on time – You ship on schedule with parts that fit the first time.
Precision assemblies for demanding applications
Bauer delivers precision tube assemblies that keep complex products on spec and on schedule across a range of demanding applications:
- Exhaust components — headers, muffler tubes and emissions manifolds for power equipment and vehicles
- Brush guards, roll cages & structural rails — off-road,
- Frames & subframes — mower decks, rehab equipment, carts and furniture systems
No matter the use case, Bauer ensures every product meets the tightest tolerances on every shipment.
From complex specs to premium assemblies
Whether you’re recovering from a supplier failure or gearing up for a new launch, Bauer will help you get it done right — fast.
