METAL FABRICATORS

The metal fabrication industry refers to building metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling. The cutting part of fabrication is via sawing, shearing, or chiseling (all with manual and powered variants) and via CNC cutters (using a laser, plasma torch, or water jet). Plastics have come to play a major role in metal fabrication.

Advantages of plastics

The advantages of plastics for Metal Fabricators are numerous. Plastics are much lighter than metal, which equate into better fuel economy and cheaper to manufacture parts. Additionally, the lighter weight aids in safer material handling. Plastics can be designed to be impact and dent resistant, and modified for improved strength. Corrosion resistance, color and texture flexibility, the economical components and aesthetics are other advantages of plastics.

Materials Utilized Within Industry

Manufacturing and fabrication of metal products include Polycarbonate, UHMW, Nylon and Acetal/Delrin (Rod, tube and plate).
