In this episode of The Fabricator Podcast, Caleb Chamberlain, co-founder and CEO of OSH Cut, discusses his company’s unique approach to sheet metal fabricating.
Chamberlain explains how OSH Cut offers an online platform that allows customers to upload their designs and receive instant quotes for laser cutting and bending services. He also describes how they have developed their own software to automate the quoting and production processes, as well as their efforts to expand their capabilities to include other services such as welding.
Chamberlain also discusses their use of digital advertising and their focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. He emphasizes OSH Cut’s aim to streamline the metal fabricating process and provide a more efficient and user-friendly experience for their customers.
Chamberlain also addresses the issue of the wage gap in the industry and stresses the importance of paying livable wages to attract and retain skilled workers.
At the top, hosts Dan Davis and Tim Heston talk about the impact OSH Cut's "web shop" business model is making on the metal fabrication sector, especially with its design for manufacturing (DFM) services on top of its automated online ordering and instant quoting systems to support its laser cutting and press brake capabilities.
