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...
