Metal fabrication is a somewhat broad term for several types of fabrication processes. At Legitimate Engineering Cutting, punching, forming, shearing, stamping, welding are common fabrication techniques we use to shape, cut, or mold raw metal material into a final product.
The process of Fabrication is used in making mass-produced products or custom designs.
Whether mass-produced or custom designed, the end products are made with a wide range of metals and their alloys—stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, brass to name a few. In our industrial fabrication processes, one or some of the following methods will be used to finish or produce a part or end product:
Our Common Methods of Fabrication
Cutting
The cutting of a metal workpiece is a common fabrication technique in which the material is split or cut into smaller sections. Cutting can be used as a first step in a much larger fabrication process or the only step necessary in the process. The old days of sawing have been superseded by modern forms of cutting where we utilize state-of-the-art machinery which includes power tools and computer numerical computer (CNC) cutters. We are very resourceful and therefore no job is too big or small for us with methods ranging from laser cutting, waterjet cutting, power scissors to plasma arc cutting.
Welding
One of the more common fabrication processes commonly used at Legitimate Engineering, welding is the art of joining two or more pieces of metal together utilizing a combination of heat and pressure. Metals can vary in shape or size. Our 2 main types of welding procedures are CO2 & Arc Welding.
Other Fabrication methods includes:
- Forming
- Punching
