Often we receive questions from our customers, what is the difference between metal fabrication and metal welding? Isn’t it the same? Well our dear readers, though the terms are often used interchangeably, it is not the same. Fabrication is a process of creating a project out of metal materials which includes design, installation and finishing. Welding on the other hand is a singular operation that is part of the fabrication process. Simply put, welding is joining two pieces of metal together.
