Custom metal parts fabrication is the production of customized metals. If you’re prototyping a product, custom parts are often a necessity. Using various techniques, modern fabrication plants can produce custom parts at affordable prices.
Laser and Plasma Cutting
For most projects, fabrication begins with either a laser or plasma cutter. These use high-power devices to cut sheets of metal into custom shapes and sizes.
CNC Machining
Computer-controlled machining devices shape metals by removing pieces from them. So, this can remove excess shaving whenever shaping a cut sheet.
Turning is useful when carving holes into objects. Afterward, milling is often used to prepare a metal’s surface.
Extrusion, Stamping, and Forging
Forming metals into their final shape can use a variety of techniques. From bending to extruding, the right one depends on what’s being made. Most rods use an extrusion technique where they’re pushed through tight openings.
If you’re bending a custom part, presses might be more effective. Most Custom metal parts fabrication plants use CAD drawings to design their finalized parts. That way, each one is made exactly to specification during production.
Painting and Surface Finishing
In many industries, parts must have protective coats put on them. Otherwise, they’ll degrade during daily use. That’s why most plants have a surfacing station at the end of their production line. So, parts receive coats of paint, protecting them from corrosion.
