Whenever a high-density heat source, like a laser, applied to the surface of a metal workpiece, it is distorted. Now, being able to predict this distortion allows you to use the laser or high-density heat source, and direct it in a specific manner in order to shape and form the […]

Metal fabricators always ensure the processes used for stainless steel fabrication, aluminium fabrication or steel fabrication are cost-efficient. Whether it is laser cutting, metal bending, welding or metal rolling, they must comply with the safety code and increase cost-efficiency for the metal fabrication shops. This is the reason why Spot […]

Keeping your equipment and machinery ready for the next project is important. You never know when someone asks for a custom part. Whether it is laser cutting, metal bending, welding or metal rolling, you should always have the machinery prepared. However, keeping your machine in check can be tricky for […]

Hydroforming is quickly becoming the go-to process in the metal fabrication industry, most notably in the automotive sector.

Laser cutting, metal bending, welding or metal rolling, whatever it may be, you can’t give your best to your clients if you don’t have the best setup and tools. Skilled operators equipped with advanced machinery is the first pillar of a successful aluminium fabrication, steel fabrication or stainless steel fabrication […]

There is numerous software out there being used in the metal fabrication industry that helps with shop floor control. Whether you run processes like metal bending, metal rolling or laser cutting, having a floor control software that monitors employees and equipment help the general workflow, especially when it comes to […]

Keeping up with production demands for cut tubing and pipes can be made easier with the help of a band saw. However, maintaining a low cost per cut takes a bit more consideration and effort. Everything from the blade pitch and the workpiece geometry needs to be considered in order […]

Simulations play an important role in the metal fabrication industry. They can help you understand and perform a requirement analysis whether you are working laser cutting or metal rolling. This article discusses the use of simulations in metal bending processes.   Simulating Bending Bending a tube or any other workpiece […]

Whether it is stainless steel fabrication, aluminium fabrication or steel fabrication, wastes are an ugly truth. No matter what you try to do, laser cutting, metal bending, welding or metal rolling, you’ll always see things lying around here and there and it is really frustrating to get rid of them. […]

Despite being used in high-integrity applications like electronics, medical, automotive and aerospace industries, Plasma Arc Welding or PAW is often overlooked in stainless steel fabrication, aluminium fabrication or steel fabrication as it is much more complex and requires a more expensive set of tools compared to other arc processes. Another […]
