Today, metal fabrication is a vital industry that serves the needs of many operations and businesses. At AccuSpec Fabrication, we are proud to be part of the metal fabrication industry, but there are many myths that surround the fabrication process.
Here are some of the most common myths we hear about metal fabrication and what it involves:
- Metal fabrication is simple — Many believe that metal fabrication only requires basic tools and skills. In reality, it involves complex processes like cutting, bending, and assembling various metals, often requiring advanced machinery and skilled labor.
- You can only fabricate steel — While steel is the most commonly used metal, fabrication can involve a variety of materials, such as aluminum, copper, and titanium. Every material has unique properties and requires different techniques and expertise.
- The fabrication process is expensive — Some assume that metal fabrication is a costly process. While prices can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the material used, our shop offers competitive rates. Additionally, investing in quality fabrication can lead to long-term savings through durability and efficiency.
- Fabricated metals aren’t strong — Some believe fabricated metals lack strength compared to solid metals. However, modern metal fabrication techniques often enhance the strength and durability of the final product, allowing for lighter and more efficient designs without compromising performance.
