Metal fabrication involves processes such as cutting, bending, forming and assembling to produce various structures from metal materials such as aluminum and steel. Metal fabrication engineers play a prominent role in the process by designing, executing and improving the essential systems used to produce fabricated products. Many metal fabrication engineers have acquired industry-specific expertise they apply to their employers’ unique production processes.
At Summit Steel, our metal fabrication engineers adhere to a series of best practices to ensure superior, consistent results for every client. Proficient with the use of AutoCad, 3D Solidworks, Master Cam, and FG CAD/CAM, our in-house engineering team can help customers modify their designs for cost savings, shorter lead times, scalability, and product quality.
Our engineers work closely with our production team to ensure quality during the design process, as well as to eliminate any unnecessary details that could prevent product optimization. They also perform continuous testing to verify design quality through methods such as 3D modeling, finite element analysis and prototyping. Our team places a heavy emphasis on materials — if necessary, they’ll recommend a change in material type if it would make a significant difference in critical areas such as cost, efficiency, practicality and return on investment.
