Manufacturing
Fabrication
Fabrication quality depends on how material, bends, welds, hardware, finish and assembly interfaces are defined together.
What this topic covers
What fabrication planning should resolve.
A fabricated part can meet individual dimensions and still fail in assembly if distortion, datum strategy, hardware location or finish buildup is not considered early.
- Review formed geometry and bend definition against material and thickness.
- Control weld sequence, distortion and assembly-critical interfaces.
- Define finish, cosmetic zones and inspection expectations before production.
Good fabrication planning protects the final assembly condition, not just the flat pattern.
