Bring Ideas to Life with Custom Fabrication for Metal Parts & Prototypes

If you’ve ever had a part break, a design that needed tweaking, or a big idea that didn’t exist anywhere on the shelf, you already know the struggle of finding someone who can actually build what you’re envisioning. That’s where working with a local fabricator like Dark Horse Metal Works comes in.

Commercial and industrial industry businesses, along with local individuals across the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex have been utilizing us for custom fabrication projects since 2016. DHMW is trusted to turn sketches, concepts, and “can you build this?” ideas into real-world, functional metal components. Whether you need one custom part or a small production run, our team is equipped to handle it with precision, speed, and craftsmanship you can count on.

Why Businesses Choose Dark Horse for Custom Parts & Prototypes

01. We Solve Problems Big Manufacturers Won’t Touch

Large factories don’t want to deal with low-volume or one-off projects.We love them. From a single replacement bracket to a new design for a piece of equipment, we specialize in building the parts other shops overlook. If you’ve got a unique challenge, we’re the people who can figure it out.

02. High-Precision Fabrication With CNC Cutting & Press Brake Work

When accuracy matters, we’ve got the tools to deliver:

• CNC plasma cutting for clean, consistent parts

• Hydraulic press brake bending for panels, gussets, brackets, enclosures, and custom shapes

• MIG, TIG, and aluminum welding for strength and reliability

• Custom forming, fitting, and fabrication tailored to your specs

Every prototype is built with the same level of detail and quality we put into full production.

03. We Work With You One-on-One

You’re not sending your project into some giant automated system and hoping for the best. At Dark Horse, you get:

• Real conversations

• Real questions

• Real collaboration

We walk through your goals, dimensions, materials, and function to make sure the end result is exactly what you need. No guesswork. No confusion. Just teamwork.

Who We Build Prototypes & Custom Parts For

We work with a wide range of clients across North Texas, including:

• Contractors & builders

• Electrical & solar companies

• Industrial operations

• Ranchers & agricultural businesses

• Manufacturers needing specialty components

• Homeowners needing custom metal work or repairs

If it’s metal, we can probably build it and build it better than the original.

Why Local Fabrication Matters

Choosing a local welding and fabrication shop like DHMW means:

• Faster turnaround

• Better communication

• More flexibility

• The ability to tweak your design as we go

• Supporting a local business that stands behind its work

When you need a part now, not six weeks from now, we’ve got your back.

Turning an Idea Into Reality Is Easier Than You Think

Whether you have a hand-drawn sketch, a broken part you need recreated, or a prototype you want to bring to life, our team makes the process simple:

1. Bring in, show, or explain your concept or part

2. We review the design and discuss materials

3. We cut, bend, weld, and fabricate your custom piece. In addition to paint, if needed!

4. You walk out with a durable, high-quality product

No minimum order. No intimidation. No corporate runaround. Just a local shop doing honest work and doing it well.
