Fabricated metal pieces normally have rough, uneven surfaces before a metal fabrication technician proceeds with the metal finishing process. The tech uses deburring equipment to smooth away excess metal or “burrs” from flat and edged surfaces. Deburring offers the following benefits: Safety: Smoother surfaces protect technicians, clients and/or future end-users from damaging their clothing or…

It’s sometimes difficult for people to estimate time and money savings involved with steel fabrication because non-local fabricators supply base costs and then charge every step of the way. With a local custom steel fabrication project, you receive the following benefits: Custom metal fabrication firms have in-house designers and computer systems. Instead of coordinating the…

Many people are surprised to learn that custom metal fabrication is a form of art. Although fabricators use CAD software to generate custom designs, it takes an artistic, creative and imaginative person to bring your ideas into existence both on the computer screen and in real life. As with any art form, a master of…

Metal finishing is essential for precision tools and custom steel fabrication since it helps in minimizing the wear and tear of metallic products. Additionally, it not only improves electrical conductivity but also enhances a product’s resistance to torque. Here are some common types of finishing for metal fabrication. Metal plating- used to coat or alter…
