Metal fabrication is a process which cuts, molds or shapes a metal into a desired shape. Metal components such as metal rods, metal bars and metal sheets are available in various dimensions. At times the demand for a unique product would call for custom metal fabrication in Melbourne. Making of a unique product would require a huge amount of planning and designing. To get best results the following custom design services are followed.
- Conceptualizing: Provides a general idea about the look, characteristics, and features of the product.
- Computer aided designing: Would provide the manufacturers with a 3-D look of the product
- Tool designing: For developing any part of the product if a particular tool is required which is not available, and then the tool is made.
Once the designing part is done, the actual manufacturing process is begun. Some of the common metal fabrication methods are
- Casting: Hot liquid metal is put into a mould and allowed to cool and harden.
- Drawing: Force is exerted on the molten metal to get the desired dye, the force varies according to the color required
- Forging: Force is used to get the metal into the desired shape.
- Punching: Uniquely shaped small pillars are punched into the metal to make decorative designs on the metal. This process is also called as sheet metal punching.
- Welding: Heat and pressure are used to attach two or more pieces of metal.
- Drilling: A drill is used to make circular holes on the metal.
- Milling: Special machines called milling machines are used to make non circular holes
- Turning: A cutting tool shapes the metal piece while it spins on its axis.
Some custom metal products require finishing treatments like combining two or more components into one component. Other secondary services include painting, screwing etc to give the final look.
