Metal Fabrication

What is metal fabrication? Metal fabrication is the process of constructing structures from raw materials by processes like cutting, bending, and assembling. Fabrication also entails rolling, machining, and welding parts of various shapes, sizes, and levels of complexity. 

At A-1 Jet, LLC Waterjet Cutting & Product Design, we use our waterjet machine to cut most metal fabrications. The waterjet is a great tool to project your artistic needs for architectural signage or precision parts.
