Metal Fabrication Built for OEM Production
Lights-Out CNC. Engineered Fixtures. Automation-Driven Throughput.
Dakota Metal Solutions delivers repeatable, production-ready components for OEMs across the Upper Midwest.
Built for Mass Production
Operating from a 96,000 sq ft facility in Summit, South Dakota, DMS supports OEMs with scalable manufacturing systems, engineered fixturing, and automation-driven efficiency.
From laser cutting to full weldments, we build processes designed for repeatability, cost control, and long-term production partnerships.
​Product Design & Engineering
Collaborative design support focused on manufacturability, cost efficiency, and production readiness.
CNC Milling & Turning
Production-focused machining for tight tolerances and repeatable performance.
Forming & Bending
Precision forming solutions engineered for dimensional accuracy.
Laser Cutting
Sheet capacity up to 5 feet by 10 feet, handling material thicknesses from 28 gauge to 1 inch.
Engineered Fixtures
Custom welding and workholding fixtures designed to improve repeatability and reduce labor variability.
Tube Laser Cutting
High-precision tube processing designed for repeat accuracy and production consistency.
Welding & Weldments
Structural and production weldments built for OEM assembly integration.
Custom Automation
Purpose-built systems that streamline manufacturing processes and increase throughput.
Engineered for Throughput
DMS designs and builds custom welding fixtures, workholding systems, and automation solutions that increase production speed and consistency. By engineering the process — not just the part — we help OEM partners reduce secondary operations, minimize manual handling, and improve output reliability.
Engineered Fixtures for Repeat Production
DMS designs and builds custom welding fixtures and workholding systems that eliminate variability and increase throughput. Every fixture is engineered to improve accuracy, reduce setup time, and support consistent OEM production.
