The main advantages of getting custom fabricated metal parts include:

• With custom fabrication, virtually anything can be created. This includes small or large products of varying unique designs and sizes.
• Custom fabrication allows for better quality control starting from dimensional tolerance, designing and shaping.
• It allows for better cost-effectiveness since the final fabricated metal products usually meet the specific requirements needed for proper application in a project. With custom fabrication, there is no need for further adjustment.
• As a customer, you have a say on how the fabrication is carried out since you will be working and consulted by the team handling your metal fabrication needs.
• When you are working closely with the team of technicians from the metal fabrication company, the job of fabricating your desired products can get finished faster.
• Custom metal fabrication increases the durability and usefulness of products. This is because the fabricated metal you get will be created to meet your unique working conditions and environment such as stress, vibrations, chemicals and temperature requirements among others.
• Custom fabrication of metals usually supports increased productivity and efficiency. By getting custom metal products, you are able to optimize your designs making the final product compatible and highly suitable for your project needs. This increases productivity and efficiency.

This is the process where the team handling the fabrication and the client examine the design of the desired part, the manufacturing capability of the company and the available resources with a view of ensuring that the process of creating the desired part is both efficient and cost effective.

This process also takes into account the quantity of products that need to be produced, the requirements of the client and meeting the requisite standards of quality. As such, it examines the following:

• The compliance to quality standards
• The specifications of the part to be fabricated
• The type of material to be used
• The compliance to environmental regulations
• The compliance to test on quality

This machine operates by clamping a metal sheet between various dies and punches. This forms the bend that is needed in the material. The back gauges being used determine the size of the bends in the metal part. The punches, dies and RAM determine the radius and angle of the bends. CNC press brakes allow the technicians handling the fabrication process to perform most of the necessary calculations needed to make the entire process highly accurate and efficient.

Metal stamping is a term that can be used to refer to a number of processes used in forming metals. Apart from the actual stamping, it can involve other processes used in forming the final part such as pressing, bending, folding and stretching. All the processes used in metal stamping require the use of punch presses and custom-made dies and tooling machines in order to produce a pattern, shape or any other characteristic that is required by a metal part. Generally, the stamping processes provides tighter toleration than the fabrication of metal. Metal stamping is a cost-effective and fast way to produce metal parts in very large quantities.

The fabrication of metal on the other hand involves the manufacturing of three-dimensional metal parts through cutting of metal, bending and/or any other processes required during the assembly process. Generally, metal fabrication requires that technicians used more specialized equipment such as CNC turret presses, CNC laser cutter, CNC press brakes and welding tools. When producing metal parts in small quantities, the use of metal fabrication makes more economic sense. This is because the tooling that is associated with metal stamping can be more expensive. When using metal fabrication techniques, there is also more designing flexibility since there is no change in tooling should the need to alter the design of a metal part arise.

This is a machine that is used to create bends in metal sheet parts. CNC is an acronym which stands for Computer Numerical Control. This means that a CNC brake press machine is controlled through software programming and PLC controllers. As such, a CNC press brake has a high level of repeatability and all variables (such as back gauge settings, pressure and die selection) in the production process are controlled by the computer programs in the machine instead of being configured manually.
