            What they do. Metal fabricators\u00a0select and prepare metal stock for fabrication to make or repair metal structures such as boilers and pressure vessels<\/b>. Metal fabricators study blueprints, drawing and specifications to determine job requirements. They shape and bend metal sections and pipes using hand and machine tools.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            Fabrication is\u00a0using processes to create component parts that can be used to make a product or structure, as well as the process of constructing an item from standardised parts<\/b>. Manufacturing, meanwhile, is the processing of raw materials into a finished product that can be sold to a consumer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            Indeed, the sheer number of metal fabrication applications boggles the mind, but no matter what product is ultimately being created, the process can be summed up with three basic techniques:\u00a0cutting, bending, and assembling<\/b>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            Fabrication is defined as\u00a0taking raw stock material to create an end product<\/b>. This differs from welding because it covers the entire process of creating a product \u2014 from design and cutting to formation and finishing<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
