Why is metal fabrication important to Beams, Fences and Hinges?

Are you in the building right now? If so, then it's likely fabricated metal beams supporting the structure. The iron gate at the end of the driveway across the street is an example of metal fabrication. The smooth railing on the stairs of the new office building in town was made by a metal fabrication company.

Manufacturers use machines ranging from computer-guided laser and plasma cutters to giant tandem benders that bend long sheets of metal to produce parts for construction, aerospace, and medical applications, and even build parts for your child's new bike.

Manufacturers can reverse engineer replacement parts for older equipment that still works but requires parts that the machine builder no longer produces. The same goes for classic cars. No matter where you see things made of metal in your everyday life, you'll understand why metal fabrication is an important industry.
