It means the act of producing a product, especially in an industrial process. We are making the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending and assembling processes. ... Large fab shops employ a multitude of value-added processes, including welding, cutting, forming and machining. As with other manufacturing processes, both human labor and automation are commonly used.
We have many types of fabrication techniques where the most common ones are cutting and machining, punching and drilling, straightening, bending and rolling, fitting and reaming, fastening, finishing etc. ... o Machining– The process of machining involves removal of the piece of metal from a piece of material.
We have some common machines which we use in fabrication
. Punching Machine
. Lathe Machine
. Cutting Machine (Manual & Automatic)
. Electric Arc Welding Machine (EAW)
. Gas Metal Arc Welding Machine (GMAW)
. Drilling Machine (Simple & Electromagnetic)
Here are some of the most common and readily available raw materials used in fabrication:
Plate metal.
Castings.
Fittings.
Hardware.
Formed and expanded metal.
Flat metal.
