Custom Metal Fabrication
Metal fabrication is the process of cutting, bending, and shaping metal to create strong and reliable products or structures. While standard fabrication follows fixed designs and sizes, custom metal fabrication focuses on producing components tailored to each client’s specific needs. This process relies on advanced industrial equipment to ensure precision and quality, using materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and carbon steel.
Metals used in fabrication typically come in two main forms — sheet metal and structural metal. Sheet metal is available in flat sheets or rolls of varying thicknesses; when it exceeds 3/16”, it is classified as a plate. Structural metals, on the other hand, are pre-formed into shapes like beams, channels, HSS, and angles. The choice of metal and its form depends on the project’s purpose, strength requirements, and design complexity. Customized projects often demand more intricate shaping and finishing to achieve the desired outcome.
The custom metal fabrication process generally involves three key stages:
Cutting – Metals are cut precisely to the required dimensions using advanced techniques such as laser, plasma, or waterjet cutting.
Forming – The metal pieces are bent, rolled, or molded into the desired shapes with accuracy.
Assembly – The formed components are joined through welding or fastening to create a complete and durable structure.
With a focus on precision, strength, and craftsmanship, custom metal fabrication delivers tailored solutions that meet exact specifications and ensure lasting performance.
