Steel Bending Services in Swanley (49)

Metal fabrication is the process of using raw materials to manufacture standard metal components and structures, like beams or frames, usually in large quantities. They use various cutting and bending techniques to assemble structures and parts for construction projects and machinery.

In contrast, custom metal fabrication, or bespoke metal work, involves creating metal parts according to a client’s design specifications. These components typically have non-standard shapes, sizes and functions, and they may be used for specialised machinery or architectural projects.

Overall, metal fabricators mass produce more generic metal structures and components, while custom metal fabricators create unique objects on a smaller scale for particular purposes. Custom fabricators typically have more training and experience due to the specialised nature of the work.
