Metal Fabrication

Tue, 10 Jun 2008

Metal fabrication refers to the making of parts by cutting, shaping, and assembling components made from raw or semi-finished metal materials. Fabrication encompasses a wide variety of processes performed on sheets of metal.

Metal fabrication may involve such processes as stamping, laser cutting, punching, bending, plasma cutting, welding, tapping and others.

Metal fabrication processes can be classified as cold, warm and hot working depending on the temperature at which the material is processed. 

Most of the objects around us such as paper clips, computers, bolts, nails, automobile parts, parts used for instruments and machinery and countless other products are transformed by metal fabrication processes. The factors, influencing the metal fabrication process are the type of material being machined, the rate of production, the desired geometry, and other physical requirements of the part.

The whole process is controlled via a special free CAD software package developed by eMachineShop.
