Celebrating Tradition: Atlas Manufacturing’s Custom Ornament Legacy

At Atlas Manufacturing, the holiday season is a time to celebrate our connections—with customers, employees, and partners who have made each year special. One of our cherished traditions is the creation of a custom holiday ornament that showcases our fabrication expertise and creativity. This tradition is now proudly displayed in a custom-built cabinet, highlighting years of craftsmanship and innovation.


A Look Back: The Ornament Legacy

The cabinet in our office is more than just a display—it’s a timeline of innovation. Each ornament represents not just a holiday gesture but also the evolving techniques and technologies that make Atlas unique. From laser cutting to powder coating and now incorporating 3D printing, these ornaments demonstrate the breadth of our manufacturing capabilities.


This Year’s Ornament: A 3D Snowman

For 2024, we’re excited to unveil a snowman ornament like no other. This year’s design features a multi-piece aluminum body with intricate laser-cut details, topped with a 3D-printed hat. The combination of materials and techniques is a testament to our team’s dedication to precision and innovation.

Highlights of the 2024 Ornament:

  • Laser Cutting: The aluminum snowman body showcases fine details that reflect the precision of our cutting processes.
  • 3D Printing: The custom hat adds a modern, dimensional element, showcasing how additive manufacturing can complement traditional metal fabrication.
  • Powder Coating: A crisp, white powder coating adds durability and a festive finish to the aluminum snowman, ensuring it’s ready to shine throughout the holiday season.
