Metal fabrication is a general, broad type of term that is used in many industries to indicate metal parts and components that are made by specific types of processes. Fabricated metal parts can be shaped, formed, drilled, cut and bent and they can also be welded, riveted and threaded to form specific types of options for assembling the parts.
The use of the term precision metal fabricating takes these same process but includes the ability to produce the parts and components to tight tolerances. This is typically achieved through the use of CNC or computer numerical controlled equipped, expert operators and state-of-the-art machines that allow for a level of precision that is not possible with handheld tools and older technology.
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, each vehicle manufacturer will have specific requirements for their orders. The best companies offering precision fabrication services can work to those individual standards as well as meet all general industry standards and regulations.
HVAC Systems
Large or small HVAC systems have to be designed with airtight systems. This starts by having each component in the system designed to be made to exacting specifications. When this is in place, assembly on-site is streamlined, and systems meet all building standards, saving the HVAC company time and money in making modifications.
Construction of Metal Buildings
In any type of construction of large or small metal buildings, precision metal fabricating allows for each structural component to be identical to all others. Not only does this add to the efficiency of construction, but it also ensures that all pre-drilled, cut or formed parts are going to be made precisely to the design and blueprint specifications.
Aerospace Components
As in the automotive industry, precision metal fabricating is a requirement for all parts and components used in aerospace industries. These parts and components must fit together with the highest degree of perfection to avoid component failure under extreme pressures and environmental conditions.
