What Is Custom Metal Fabrication

Custom metal fabrication refers to creating components for various applications according to customer specifications. This type of service extends past gates and fences, which is how we operate. It can range from HVAC systems to art installations. In a nutshell, custom metal fabrication is the manufacturing of metal parts and products to in order to meet a customer’s exact specifications rather than mass-producing standardized items. Metal fabricators work from CAD files, drawings, or client descriptions to cut, form, weld, and finish raw metal into custom components, which includes brackets, frames, fittings, enclosures, and more. The process requires immense precision to create parts that match the design. And we have the expertise to get the job done and professionally handle gates and fences.

The Custom Metal Fabrication Process

Custom metal fabrication involves transforming raw metal into finished products through design, vision, and, ultimately, finishing. Proper execution of each phase of the process is crucial for high-quality results. While every custom metal project is unique on its own, there are some key elements in common across all jobs. Here are seven elements for every custom metal fabrication job:

1) Design and engineering: The design phase involves collaboration between us and the customer to refine the plan. We work with clients to interpret specifications and turn them into detailed plans. The end result is a detailed, manufacturable design.

2) Material selection: Our staff selects a suitable metal alloy and thickness for durability, corrosion resistance, and more.

3) Cutting and machining: We use our cutting tools in order to cut sheet metal to the precise shapes for the project. This phase transforms sheet metal into the required shapes for the fencing, gate or railing. Common techniques include laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting, bending, machining, and welding shape flat materials into precise 3D forms.

4) Bending and forming: Presses and brake machines bend and shape the cut metal into the required forms.

5) Welding and joining: We will fuse the metals together using various techniques.

6) Assembly and Finishing: In assembly, the parts are joined into final products by welding, riveting, and more. Finishing processes, such as deburring, smoothing, and powder coating, clean up and protect the fabricated items. Deburring, grinding, polishing, or applying coatings will give the metal the desired finish for the given custom project.

7) Inspection: Stringent checks ensure fabricated parts meet quality standards and specifications.

6 Benefits of Metal Fabrication

Here are 6 of the most significant benefits of metal fabrication:

1) Affordable

While the initial costs of custom metal fabrication might be higher than purchasing mass-produced items, it is often cost-effective in the long run to go with this option. Custom fabrication ultimately minimizes waste since the materials are tailored to the specific project requirements. And thus reduces the overall costs. On top of that, custom solutions can enhance efficiency, which leads to savings over time.

2) Versatility

Custom metal fabrication can be applied to various metals, such steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and more. This versatility allows businesses to choose the most suitable material for their application considering strength, corrosion resistance, and weight. Custom fabrication ensures the selected material is processed and shaped according to the project’s requirements.

3) High-Quality Craftsmanship

Custom metal fabrication is performed by skilled craftsmen who have experience working with various types of metals. This ensures high-quality workmanship, precision, and attention to detail. All of this leads to durable and reliable metal products that meet industry standards and regulations.

4) Tailored Solutions

Custom metal fabrication allows you to customize solutions that meet your exact requirements. Whether creating unique components or complex structures, custom fabrication ensures that the end product fits perfectly into the intended application.

5) Design Flexibility

Custom metal fabrication provides design flexibility, which enables businesses to create intricate designs that may not be possible with off-the-shelf products. Our staff works closely with our clients to incorporate their ideas.

6) Quick Turnaround

When you turn to Bobo, you will get a quick turnaround on the material. We have advanced machinery and an experienced staff, which allows for efficient production and results in shorter lead times. Our quick turnaround times are even more valuable for businesses with tight project deadlines or urgent needs for specialized components.
