Precision in Progress.

Our website is currently under construction. We’re busy building a new VR3.ca. In the meantime, you’ll find key information about our capabilities and technical resources below.

Precision Tube Manufacturing

What We Do

From individual tube components to engineered assemblies, VR3 combines specialized equipment, manufacturing experience and engineering support to simplify complex tube fabrication.

CNC Tube Notching

Precision CNC tube notching for accurate fit-up, repeatable results and complex tube geometries.

Tube Bending

Manual and CNC tube bending for complex geometries, accurate orientation and ready-to-weld components.

Welding Services

High-tolerance TIG welding for precision tube assemblies in steel, aluminum, stainless steel and titanium.

Engineering Services

Engineering and CAD support for 3D modelling, manufacturability, tooling, fixtures and production development.

The VR3 Difference

A Truly Unique System

VR3 Engineering’s proprietary system integrates 3D solid modeling software with custom CNC machining and CNC tube bending. This gives us precise programming, accurate tool paths and exceptional fit-up for frames and subassemblies made from tubing ranging from 0.25" OD to 2.000" OD.

The result? Our customers have described our processes and products as “stunningly accurate.”

We deliver your tube kit labeled, packaged and ready to weld right out of the box.

What the System Delivers

✓Individual tube components, subassemblies or complete structures
✓End notches, holes and slots oriented in a single setup
✓Prototyping and one-off projects, including CAD file preparation, design for manufacture, updates, storage and tracking
✓Notches and bends oriented relative to the complete structure
✓Fast, repeatable turnaround on repeat orders
✓Simplified welding
✓Cold cutting with no heat-affected zone or surface impurities
✓No grinding, re-cutting, gaps or unnecessary waste
✓Reduced raw material inventory
✓Reduced manufacturing inventory

We also offer in-house GTAW welding services specializing in tube weldments.
