In many industries, it’s a common occurrence to need a piece or component that doesn’t exist. This is especially true in the manufacture of new products. In that case, it’s up to you to make it or rely on a custom metal fabrication company to do it for you.
At Dowse Manufacturing, creation is our business, and we’re going to provide a look at various shaping methods here. You will then have the knowledge to make an informed decision when you’re seeking a metal fabrication supplier.
Various custom metal fabrication techniques are useful for making specific parts. Laser cutting is ideal for precisely shaping pieces for use on their own or as components for larger equipment.
Sometimes a saw is what you need to get the job done. A powerful bandsaw, for example, can provide cuts for large bundles and angled cuts as well.
CNC forming uses computer-controlled machines to bend and shape flat pieces of metal into any shape that is required.
Plate rolling will bend flat metal sheets into pieces of various curves to meet the needs of a particular job. Those pieces can then be further manipulated through another process such as welding, which securely joins metal together through various means such as Mig or Tig welding.
As you can see, there are many forms of fabrication, and you are sure to find the right one for your project when you shop around for a company to fill your contract.
