How does a steel fabricator get the job done?

Stainless steel suppliers employ metal fabricators to meet specific customer needs. Stainless steel fabricators must be able to interpret complex blueprints and create the finished product. So, how do they get it done?

Stainless steel fabrication is the process of cutting, bending and assembling metal to create a finished product. These three basic methods are used to deliver services such as robotics, optics, fabrication and customisation.

The cutting process is done by methods of sawing, shearing or chiselling using a torch such as an oxy fuel torch or plasma torch. Bending steel is done by hammering, either manually with a hammer or using a machine. Finally assembling is done by welding the pieces of steel together. Other tools of the trade include brake presses, augers, bolts, band saws and diamond wire cutting machines.
