About Metals Fabrication

Metal fabrication is the process of creating metal structures by cutting, bending, and joining operations. It is a value-added process that involves turning diverse raw materials into machines, components, and buildings. Shaping, adding to, or removing material from a raw or semi-finished metal workpiece, is utilized to make a final part or product.

Why is Metals Fabrication important?

Making items for mass consumption requires metal manufacturing. This category includes items like cans, screws, cutlery, pans, and pipes. Benefits of Metal Manufacturing:

  • Metals generally have greater melting points and are less prone to deteriorate at high temperatures.
  • Strengthening: Metal grades often outperform their plastic equivalents in terms of strength, hardness, and durability.
