Artificial Intelligence Joins the Fabrication Shop
Although artificial intelligence, or AI, is a “hot topic” right now, it certainly is not new. AI has been advancing incrementally and used for research and other endeavors for a long time. Computer scientists have been defining and building the concepts behind what we generally refer to as AI for decades. So, why is everyone talking about AI on the shop floor? Let’s take a closer look. First, let’s define what we mean by AI.

Ultra-High-Power Lasers Tackle Ultra Heavy Plate
For a long time during the 1990s and early 2000s, the available output power of industrial sheet-cutting lasers crept upward in fairly small increments. Due to the nature of CO2-based laser sources, there were a lot of difficulties in squeezing extra useful power out of the beam generator.
Snowflake’s 5 Next-Gen Features: A Sneak Peek into 2024!
When Snowflake was publicly released in 2014 it was marketed as a “cloud data warehouse”, positioning itself as a specialised system for analysing large volumes of structured data purpose built to take advantage of the Cloud. By October 2024, a decade would have passed since its launch, and throughout this period Snowflake has continuously evolved, integrating capabilities from a variety of systems, creating one unified platform.
The Economics of Scale: Coil-Fed Laser Processing
It’s not an unusual sight in the metal processing world to find cut-to-length blanking operations or stamping operations fed by sheet metal on rolled coils. When feasible, processing material coils instead of stacks of flat sheets can offer distinct economies of scale in the factory.
Cobots as Flexible Fab Shop Tools
During the last few years, collaborative robots, or cobots, have made significant inroads toward creating a truly flexible and automatic workforce in the factory setting. A cobot is a robot that can work safely in a shared space with humans. While robots have a long history in manufacturing, modern collaborative robots, which can be reprogrammed and redeployed rapidly, have opened new opportunities to incorporate robotics into everyday tasks.

Sheet Cutting Lasers and the Great Decision
Technology has evolved considerably during the decades in which sheet cutting lasers have been used. Machines have become faster, more automatic, and easier to operate, while laser sources have become more efficient, more reliable, and more capable. The best sheet cutting lasers today can perform three times as much useful work as comparable machines from 15 years ago, while requiring fewer man-hours to program, operate and maintain.
The Big Benefits of Small Hand Tools |
CUTTING EDGE The world of sheet metal fabrication is rightly known as “heavy industry.” Big buildings, big machines, and big materials often characterize the production of sheet metal assemblies. The “bigness” of metal fabrication operations also means big outlays of capital, especially when it comes to the machinery needed to turn the large, rolled sheets of raw material into useful shapes.
Introducing Clean Tube Laser Processing
THE CUTTING EDGE For many years now, the business of processing metal tubes and profiles using lasers has been growing in North America. Tubular profiles have always lent very specific advantages to a manufactured product, such as excellent strength and rigidity relative to weight. Compared to sheet materials, however, profiles require somewhat specialized handling techniques.

How to Get the Most Out of Today’s Sheet Metal Laser Cutters
Home / How to Get the Most Out of Today’s Sheet Metal Laser Cutters There’s a big difference between just cutting fast and achieving impressive throughput. As machines become faster, factories must properly manage downstream handling processes. How’s a high-mix, low-volume fabricator to keep up with the pace of faster sheet metal laser cutters? Give employees easy-to-understand job-by-job visual instructions for managing cut parts.
Totally Tubular: Take Profile Design to the Next Level
Home / Totally Tubular: Take Profile Design to the Next Level One of the fastest-growing sectors of North American metal manufacturing is laser processing of tubes and profiles. Design software and machines that automatically perform multiple manufacturing steps are making this complicated fabrication process cost-effective for smaller companies. Fresh off the tube laser, this bent frame member looks like a normal straight piece of tube.
Intelligent Laser Cutter Opens the Door to a Fully Automated Process
Home / Laser Cutter That Thinks for Itself Opens the Door to a Fully Automated Process Trumpf’s Active Speed Control uses artificial intelligence to completely eliminate the need for an operator to monitor cutting and, if necessary, tweak parameters. The technology automatically adjusts feed rate to ensure part quality when cutting plate with chemistry, thickness, or surface condition variations.
More Than One Way to Skin a Part: Where Fabrication and Machining Overlap
Don’t take the “hard limits” between machining and fabrication for granted. Their areas of overlap offer tremendous potential for savings. If you manufacture parts using both processes, take a second look at some of them to evaluate whether they could be produced more economically with a little sheet metal know-how and some outside-the-box thinking.

By Tom Bailey January 1, 2019 This V-Die is adjustable in steps so that it can cover a wide range of material thicknesses, making it very cost-effective for thick plate bending.
Sheet Metal Marking Review
For a wide variety of reasons, more and more fabricators are introducing part marking into their sheet metal production processes. In some industries, the need for traceability in products and manufacturing processes have long dictated marking requirements. Others that haven’t traditionally had this requirement are now moving in the direction of higher traceability, driven by demands from customers, installers and service technicians to provide better identification and tracking of their products.
Keeping it Cool: Why Machines Depend on Chillers, and Chillers Depend on You
Any mechanic worth his salt knows that basic maintenance is the key to keeping a machine running properly over the long-term. Seemingly minor points, like wiping away dust and applying lubrication to a rail, can ultimately mean the difference between costly failure and worry-free operation. Even the most sophisticated CNC machines depend heavily on the most simple of preventative maintenance tasks.
Built to Last: Sheet Metal Design with Strength in Mind
Sheet metal is a versatile material with a huge variety of applications that is matched only by the diversity of different tools and methods used to work the material. From hydroforming to plasma cutting, from metal shearing to metal spinning, fabricators use a dizzying array of common and not-so-common processes to transform raw sheet stock into finished goods.
Beyond Bending: Press Brakes Can Do Much More
The press brake is one of the oldest types of fabrication equipment that is still in everyday use today. Before lasers and plasma machines cut parts with heat, and before computers were connected to electric drive motors to create CNC machinery, there were press brakes making bends in sheet metal.
