Quote:Metal fabrication is a broad term referring to any process that cuts, shapes, or molds metal material into a final product. Instead of an end product being assembled from ready-made components, fabrication creates an end product from raw or semi-finished materials. There are many different fabrication manufacturing processes and the process used depends on both the beginning metal material and the desired end product. Fabrication is used for both custom and stock products. Metal fabrication industry has broad applications across a great many industries and consumer products. Standard raw materials used include plate metal, fittings, castings, formed and expanded metal, sectional metal, flat metal, and welding wire. Because demand is driven by the economy, the profitability of the metal fabrication industry relies on economic growth to thrive. Since the economic rebound after the last recession, metal fabrication has become a strong and intense business that continues to recalibrate itself and flourish.

This book focuses on the assembly of raw materials (typically metal) to build cars, buildings or other industrial structures. The book covers basic sheet-metal fabrication and welding engineering principles and applications.
