Metal fabrication involves a series of steps for creating metallic structures by welding materials that were initially cut and bend. It is a process that mostly takes place in workshops which are well insulated and air-conditioned to prevent heat penetration from outside. Fabrication of metal has existed for a long period of time, it started with the discovery of smelting various ores to produce metal that is malleable and ductile, whose purpose was for tool production. Today, fabrication has grown to use the use of complex machinery that is capable of cutting, forming and joining. The machines also create precise and useful work pieces that range from large ships, delicate jewelry, bridges and precise engine parts.
Metal fabrication has divisions that can be categorized as forming, cutting and joining. Before any operation, the material to be fabricated has to be marked out. Marking out basically involves the transfer of a design or pattern to a product called work piece, this process is among the first steps. Many industries have adopted simultaneous marking out of materials for it helps in avoiding repetition in the marking of individual pieces. Simultaneous marking out saves time and increases efficiency. The next step that follows is machining. One of the tools used in marking out, also known as measuring is the calipers. It is a tool of preference on small pieces of metal for they require high precision. It is also advantageous for it has high levels of accuracy. In situations where high precision is not required and the object is large, a tape measure is used.
