Fabrication work involves a variety of trades and skill sets, including welding, metal fabrication, machining, and painting as well as other types of manufacturing processes.
The fabricator's process usually involves making items from manufactured materials like steel, which can be used to assemble larger metal structures. In addition, fabrication involves making components for items such as engines, machines, tools, and household appliances.
Fabrication entails creating something from beginning to end using semi-finished or raw materials, instead of just piecing it together. This work is commonly completed by a fabrication shop that will compete for the job contract based on engineering drawings and specifications.
