Cutting and Stamping

Cutting is the act of making a shape or forming a part of a structure using metal. This includes bending sheet metal into the desired shape and cutting sheet metal with a computer numerical controlled cutting machine. Fabricators can cut large parts, such as doors and engine parts, for industrial clients. Stamping is the process of forming an impression in metal by hammering or pressing a die or die plate. This is commonly used for making nameplates and numbers on various products.

Bending

Bending is the act of forming a shape or forming a part of a structure using a metal. The metal is bent using an annealing machine. This is sometimes known as cold bending because it is performed at room temperature.

Welding

Metal is welded using a Mig welder or TIG welder. Welders use electricity in order to weld. They use a special rod that has a wire wrapped around it that has the same electrical resistance as the metal being welded. This is sometimes known as gas metal arc welding or GMAW.

Bending Sheet Metal and Stainless Steel

Sheet metal is bent using an annealing machine. This is sometimes known as cold bending because it is performed at room temperature. Stainless steel is used for most plating and stamping due to its durability. The material is a lot harder than other steels and lower in price. It is used for making sinks and other fixtures that are resistant to rust, due to the surface being coated in nickel.
