Lightweight Manufacturing was founded to serve the fabric structures and tent rental industry with the manufacturing of architectural fabric panels. Customers are supported with a deep understanding of available fabrics and their properties, and a wide range of manufacturing services such as computer cutting, slitting and various methods of heat welding such as RF welding, hot air welding, wedge welding and more. Fabric panels with complex shapes are computer designed with software that generates cutting patterns, which seamlessly move from engineering design to the manufacturing floor to be computer cut, welded and finished. Our products include a wide range of fabrics from brands like Serge Ferrari and Duraskin with their well-known types of industrial fabrics (PTFE, PVC-Coated, PVC-Mesh, Polyethylene). We also carry Keder, Keder rails, Keder Extrusions, and offer engineering and design services for tensioned structures.

Summary
Working with Lightweight Manufacturing has been a seamless experience. Their thoroughness, sense of urgency, and ability to provide complete solutions make them a reliable partner for long-term engagements. I appreciate their attention to detail and the ease of communication throughout the project.
Project Description
I usually reach out to Lightweight Manufacturing with initial project details for an engineering quote. After receiving their response, we proceed with a purchase order containing a projected timeline and engineering draft for customer approval. Following this, we collaborate on an accessory layout with the client, sending it back to Lightweight Manufacturing for a complete calculation and engineering package. This entire process typically takes a couple of weeks. Upon receiving approval from all parties involved, we move on to ordering materials or fabrication for specialty parts from their fabric department. The same quote process is followed for this stage, with direct ordering from Lightweight Manufacturing.
Pros
Lightweight Manufacturing is highly efficient and thorough in their project management. They ask a lot of questions to troubleshoot potential issues and are always available for communication despite time zone differences. Their team is courteous, prompt, and impressive in their ability to provide a complete package without missing any details.
Cons
I have not identified any areas for improvement in Lightweight Manufacturing’s performance. They excel in handling both similar designs and site-specific projects with equal expertise.
