Sheet metal is a valid material for all sorts of fabrications, such as manifolds, tanks, covers, flashings and even handcrafted and finished custom batch projects. Getting the right material is important, as is getting the right machinists. The correct gauge and precise measurements from the beginning are necessary. Otherwise, the project will become time wasted. Precision Fabrication Precision sheet metal manufacturing comes from skill and experience in the industry. Everything revolves around clear communications and an understanding of the project’s terms and goals. Among other techniques, modern information management can extend to computer databases and modeling software that keep project statistics...

Probably the most popular material used in fabrication factories, it's easy to see why so many people want their items to be fashioned from metal. Obviously what gets made depends on what type of metal is being used. However, no matter how you look at it, metalworks are still the standard-bearer as far as production is concerned. Resistant To Heat Metal has a much higher melting point than other materials commonly used in fabrication. Metal is also far less likely to suffer from degradation when exposed to higher temperatures. It remains sturdy and is still capable of being used for its intended...

When it comes to cutting fabricated sheet metal, one of the best technologies that companies can use is known as laser profiling. There are many benefits to doing it this way. Here are just a few of them. Extremely Precise When a laser is used to cut fabricated metal, the laser is focused to pinpoint accuracy. The cutting has been measured to be hundreds of times more accurate than even plasma cutting technology. There are several industries where this type of precision cutting is needed on an exclusive basis, including the aerospace industry. Reduced Lead Times Lasers are a preferred method to...

Companies in a wide variety of businesses and industries as a whole rely on an ever-evolving process of metal fabrication to raise the standards of their products.

In engineering, fabrication is the process of cutting, shaping, and welding metal structures. It involves making machines, components, and structures out of a variety of basic materials. A fabrication shop uses both human labor and automated machinery to build products based on engineering drawings. Here are some of the processes involved in engineering fabrication: Cutting and Burning Fabrication engineers use a variety of tools to cut raw material, with shearing being the most common method employed. Band saws have feed mechanisms and hardened blades, while chop saws have abrasive disks to cut steel. Other commonly used tools include cutting torches, burn tables, water...
