Metal fabricating is perhaps one of the most important stages of construction, assembly, or production of any many items.

Design excesses, extravagances in materials and adding flair can all add significant time and cost demands on your metal fabrication project. In our latest blog, we answer your questions about how to keep designs simple and use standard materials – so far as practicable, of course – to keep costs and build times in check. What’s the greatest asset of all: learning! Introspect on your finished projects to discover how you can design more efficiently next time.

While the metal fabrication industry is shifting and impacting certain markets such as China, Europe and the U.S.A, it is poised to have a positive outlook in the coming years. It has long been the backbone of the entire manufacturing sector in Ontario and the end-user market relies heavily on the industry.

Powder coating was once the preserve of the industrialist or small business owner. However, with evolution in powder coating technology and application methods, powder coating in Toronto has entered the mainstream consciousness as well. There are many tertiary benefits to powder coating, other than its durability and aesthetic appeal. Especially compared to wet painting methods, powder coating offers significant environmental and cost benefits.

Metal fabricating has evolved greatly over the years. More ambitious manufacturing has become a reality and there is the possibility of greater design leeway too. However, disregarding basic and sound engineering principles at the design stage can cost material and time at the build stage. We look at a few simple principles that get ignore – at the cost of efficient manufacturing.
