Four Decades Of Making Things By Hand
3D Custom Welding is led by owner Rich Arnold, a jeweler, artist and sculptor whose making career began in the 1970s. More than 45 years in jewelry manufacturing and design trained his eye for proportion, balance, surface and exacting finish. That fine-detail background is why Rich is exceptionally meticulous with every joint, weld and transition—and why he chooses thicker, heavier metals than many competitors. The result is work that feels substantial, holds its lines and is built to last for generations.
Today the studio pairs that old world craft with modern muscle: CAD design and engineering drawings, CNC and robotic cutting, and a fully equipped mobile welding rig. We build in the shop when precision calls for it, and at your property when speed and custom fit matter more.
And on every job you deal directly with Rich. No sales layer, no middlemen. Just the person who will actually build your piece, standing behind it with a satisfaction guarantee.
