What Are Metal Fabrication Services?

Custom metal fabrication services can include casting, cutting, forming, machining, punching, shearing, stamping, or welding. These services have a broad range of applications for building or upgrading heavy equipment.

The skilled engineers at Millinocket Machine provide custom metal fabrication services to create state-of-the-art machinery using high-quality materials. Custom fabricated products ensure your equipment, metal components, and sheet metal products meet your needs precisely.
According to recent estimates, there are approximately 1,700 large steel fabricators in the US. A metal fabrication company completes the processes necessary to create equipment and its structural components using raw materials.

Types of Industrial Fabrication Services

Large steel fabricators use one or more fabrication processes to create a final product from steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and specialty alloys.

Casting

The mass production of machine parts is possible with casting. This process involves filling a mold with molten metal to create identical and intricate components. After the metal solidifies, the product is ready to use.

Cutting

Laser cutting, power scissors, plasma, and waterjet cutting are modern techniques for dividing metal into distinct segments. Many large metal fabrication projects begin by cutting the metal into the desired size and shape for further processing.

Folding

Folding or forming metal involves bending it to achieve specific angles and shapes. This process is standard for shaping sheet metal in custom designs.

Machining

Machining is a metal fabrication service that can involve drilling, milling, or turning to achieve a desired shape in the material. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is the most common process for creating custom fabrication designs.

Punching

Punching is the process of creating one or multiple holes in sheet metal, often for attaching mechanical parts, embossing, and designing shapes.

Shearing

Shearing is a technique to create long cuts in metal sheets. An upper blade and a lower blade come together, applying pressure to the metal. By adjusting the pressure on each blade, the machine can cut irregularly shaped materials with precision.

Stamping

Stamping is a process that involves creating an indentation in metal. Our machines can stamp letters, images, and other shapes onto a wide range of metals.

Welding

Welding joins multiple pieces of metal together. Using heat and pressure, large steel fabricators can join components of any shape or size. Standard welding techniques include MIG (Metal Inert Gas Welding) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas Welding).

What Do Steel Metal Fabricators Do?

Metal fabricators begin by converting design and CAD data into machine code. Then, the required fabrication processes can convert the sheet metal into a precise form. Using laser, waterjet, or plasma cutting machines, the metal fabricator removes unnecessary pieces.
Brakes, dies, and punches help form the raw material’s angular bends and shapes next. Finally, welding and assembly complete the final product. With custom fabrication, you can create metal products for a wide range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, defense, dental, energy, medical, and manufacturing industries, to name a few.
