Metal fabrication is a process that involves building metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling. Metal fabrication is a value-added process that encompasses the construction of machines and other structures from various raw materials. Large fabrication shops may employ a range of value-added processes that include welding, cutting, forming, and machining in a single facility. These large fabrication shops offer additional value to their customers by eliminating the need for multiple vendors for different services. Under ideal circumstances, metal fabrication services usually commence with detailed shop drawings that include precise measurements. Post approval, the next stage is fabrication. This involves fabrication shops that are primarily employed by contractors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and value-added resellers (VARs). Typical orders could include anything from loose parts, structural frames for buildings and heavy equipment, to stairs and hand railings for buildings.
