What Is Metal Fabrication & How Do We Do It?

A Metal Fabricator performs the process of building machines and structures from raw metal materials. To do this, the process involves cutting, welding, burning, forming and assembling - thus creating the final product. 



What is metal fabrication?

& the main benefits of a business that work with metal fabrication?

At Antrim Industries, we are required to work parallel to our vendors and clients. As a trusted industrial solutions based company, we aim to help work with multiple vendors to complete complicated projects. As company that deals with metal fabrications, our projects include everything from hand railings to heavy equipment and machinery.

The metal fabrication industry can be booming on day and lose steam the next. To stay competitive in this sphere, businesses need to stay one step ahead. Think of their ability to manage a diverse portfolio of customers while adapting their shop’s output on the fly. A major part of this is the ability of these shops to make smart and modern investments.

This means at Antrim, we not only constantly provide a competitive price point, but also have a streamlined process. Metal fabrication can be lengthy and complex. As the world’s population increases and continues to demand for products and services, finding innovative ways to increase productivity and reduce the cost to consumer is at the core of our thought process. Our modern process combines the advantages of metal 3D printing along with our cutting edge metal fabrication process.

Our metal fabrication process enables us to build high quality products more efficiently and that efficiency translates into savings for you.

With today’s quickly improving technologies, the differentiator is the shops that are willing to adapt and those that are not. As these processes increase in complexity, from the discovery and natural resources in the ground to the invention of the first metal press, to today’s sophisticated practices, we are sure to stay one step ahead and are constantly looking investments for that help us improve.
 
Multiple process that come with metal fabrication.
 
Metal cutting is the process of using specialized tools to cut metal. The goal of metal cutting is to produce parts with dimensions and shapes as close to the plan as you can. This is accomplished by adjusting speed and pressure on the cutting tool, as well as the direction the tool is moving. With hand tools is a time-consuming process.
 
Metal folding is a technique used to fold metal into sheets.
The most common form of metal folding is when a sheet of metal is bent against a flat surface. This is also a time-consuming process that is best suited for small amounts of metal. It is also possible to use power tools to bend sheet metal. As an added bonus, this is a much faster process and better suited for larger amounts of metal.
 
Metal welding is the process of joining two pieces of metal using heat and pressure. Metal welds are stronger than joints made using mechanical fasteners, like bolts. Metal welds are often used in place of joints made using welding rods when it is necessary to produce joints that are rugged enough to withstand repeated bending, but it is not necessary to produce joints that are as strong as joints made using welding rods.
 
Machining is the process of cutting or shaping metal using a cutting tool, such as a milling machine, lathe, or drill press. Machining metal is faster than cutting, and can be used to produce very complicated parts. It is also possible to use power tools to machine metal.
 
Metal punching is a form of metal molding that is often used to create a pattern into which metal will be formed. Metal punching may be used to make metal parts or to create patterns on metal that are used in other metal working processes. Metal punches are generally used with a die to create metal parts.
 
Metal stamping is the process of pressing sheet metal into its final shape using a stamping die or a press. Stamping dies are frequently used to create sheet metal parts that are used in a variety of other manufacturing processes.
