Metal fabrication is a cornerstone of industrial manufacturing, playing a critical role in producing machinery, structural components, and precision parts. Over the years, advancements in laser cutting technology have revolutionized the industry, making fabrication faster, more precise, and highly efficient. At Laser Cutting by Tech-Weld, we utilize state-of-the-art fiber laser technology to provide exceptional accuracy and efficiency in metal processing.
Key Metal Fabrication Processes
Metal fabrication involves several essential processes, including:
- Cutting, Drilling, and Machining
- Metal Folding & Forming
- Punching, Stamping, and Die Casting
- Welding & Metal Joining
- Shearing & Material Removal
Maximizing Material Efficiency with Laser Cutting
One of the biggest advantages of laser cutting in metal fabrication is its ability to minimize waste. Since lasers cut with extreme precision, there is less scrap material, leading to cost savings and sustainability benefits.
- Sheet metal, a widely used material, benefits from laser cutting due to its lightweight, flexibility, and adaptability.
- Common sheet metals processed with laser cutting include stainless steel, aluminum, and brass alloys.
- Thickness (gauge) determines laser power, ensuring clean and efficient cuts for every project.
By reducing waste and optimizing material usage, laser cutting helps lower production costs and improve sustainability.
Punching and Stamping: Speed & Precision with CNC Machines
Punching and stamping are two widely used methods for fabricating custom metal components. These processes involve applying force to a die mold, much like a printing press, to create precise shapes.
Traditionally, manual presses were used for punching and stamping, but today, CNC-controlled laser cutting has taken over, offering:
- Higher speed and accuracy compared to traditional methods.
- Versatility for complex shapes, including embossing, bending, and coining.
- Consistent quality and repeatability, ensuring every part meets precise specifications.
