Sheet metal fabrication is the process of bending, cutting, punching, assembling sheet metal to form into the desired form. Special tools, such as band saws and chops saws, can also be used in the sheet metal fabrication process. These ensure even cutting throughout the process. Parts are fabricated from a single piece of sheet metal so designs should have a uniform thickness. Although carbon steel is the most prominent material for metal fabrication, stainless steel would be necessary for high corrosive environments whereas aluminium is primarily considered when weight of the product is a major limitation.

The majority of structural steelwork is manufactured in our workshops with very little on site work required which leads to fast construction times. This limits the time spent on the jobsite and provides a better erection sequencing and planning for construction project. Unlike concrete, steel frames gain full strength when their fabrication is completed, allowing the following construction trades to continue. Faster construction means earlier delivery better return on investment. Steel fabrication with CNC controlled machinery in well-equipped manufacturing plants has significant outputs providing a better economies of scale. Fabrication in a steel workshop provides high control over quality and the dimensional accuracy of the steel members. The use of CNC machinery in the production not only revolutionaries the efficiency and output quality but also reduces the wastage. CNC machinery enables to deliver complex shapes and designs in very short time frames.

Novelty Steel is a contract fabricator of bespoke structural steel works comprising metal cutting, bending, machining, welding and painting. Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. The accuracy of the computer-generated details being transmitted directly to the CNC machinery increases the quality standards of the production. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

Aluminium fabrication plays an essential role in metal fabrications for a variety of industries. The metal’s light weight, corrosion resistance, and ductility make it ideal for many applications from automotive parts to medical devices. Aluminium isn’t always easy to work with. The appropriate practices and equipment is necessary if you want to avoid welding defects or damage. The choice of alloy, welding gas and joining method can all have a significant effect on the quality of finished products. Due to aluminium’s unique characteristics, aluminium fabrication differs from the other metals. Low weight density of aluminium is common knowledge which brings various advantages and disadvantages in the fabrication. Although aluminium has a weaker mechanical properties, it still possesses higher strength to weight ratio compared to stainless steel and carbon steel in various applications.
