Custom fabrication is the process of modifying manufactured parts or creating new parts from raw materials. Custom fabrication can be used in a range of industries and applications, including automotive, construction, aerospace, furniture design and manufacturing, electrical engineering and electronics, industrial equipment and components.
Some examples of products that can be custom fabricated include:
- Signs
- Railings
- Gates
- Stairs
- Fences
Benefits of Custom Fabrication
There are many benefits of custom fabrication, including the ability to create unique designs, the ability to create one-of-a-kind products, and the ability to produce products that meet specific customer requirements. Custom fabrication can also help reduce production costs by eliminating the need for expensive tooling and fixtures.
Alternatives to Custom Fabrication
There are a few alternatives to custom fabrication, depending on what you need. If you need a one-off item or prototype, you could try 3D printing. For small-scale production runs, look into working with a local machine shop. They may be able to produce the parts you need without the setup costs of a full-fledged production line. And finally, for mass production, there are always off-the-shelf solutions that can be customized to some extent.
