Custom Engineering & Fabrication
Custom fabrication is the best solution when you need a metal part not available off the shelf. This process involves taking a design and turning it into a finished product, and it requires the skills of both engineers and fabricators. You can get custom fabrications done for any project-from furniture to automotive parts and landscaping supplies. In this blog post, we'll take an inside look at what custom fabrication is all about and how it's used across many industries!
Sheet Metal Fabrication
This type of metal fabrication uses machines such as press brakes and punches to cut and form sheets of metal into different shapes.
Welding Fabrication
This type of fabrication uses welding to join different parts of metal together
Machining Fabrication
This type of fabrication uses machines to cut and shape metals into specific sizes and shapes
Stamping
The process in which metal is forced into a die to create a specific shape.
Plastic Fabrication
The process used to design, manufacture, or assemble objects composed of plastic or composites, including plastic.
And Many More!
These services are just a few examples, but they give a good idea of the variety of metal fabrication processes. Each process has its specific uses and results.
Why Custom Fabrication?
Unlimited Options
Custom-engineering Metal Fabrication Allows Unlimited Design Options
Since there are so many different types of metal fabrication, this allows for unlimited design options for building things out of metal. Spending extra money to get what you want is much more economical than settling for something not exactly what you want.
Durability
Metal Fabrication is Durable
One of the most significant benefits of metal fabrication is that it results in a much more durable end product than other construction methods since metal can withstand more wear and tear than other materials before it shows signs of wear and tear.
Safety
Metal Fabrication is Safe
When it comes to metal fabrication, safety is always a top priority. Unlike other construction methods, metal fabrication does not involve fire or hazardous materials, making it a much safer option for both businesses and consumers alike.
Customizable
Metal Fabrication is Customizable
Metal fabrication is customizable because of the many different ways to work with metal. Many processes allow for cutaways, bends, and more, added on as needed. It allows limitless possibilities when making things out of metal to get what you want.
Quick
Metal Fabrication is Quick
Metal fabrication is quick because of the speed at which it can be performed. Unlike other forms of construction, such as brick and concrete, which involve cumbersome procedures like mixing materials and baking, metal fabrication is relatively simple to perform quickly
Efficient
Metal Fabrication is Cost-Effective and Efficient
Metal fabrication is efficient because it uses less material than other forms of construction like brick or wood, making it more cost-effective. Since metal can be easily cut into desired shapes and sizes, there's no need for extra materials, which helps save on costs.
Steps
In the Custom Metal
Fabrication Process
Design
Design is the first step in metal fabrication; a fabricator can prove a sketch or idea. Once a design is finalized, the fabricator will create a blueprint or technical drawing of the piece. This diagram will include all the dimensions and specifications necessary for production
