“The most unusual thing about public art, and the thing that makes it so different from a conventional art practice, is that you don’t make your own art. It’s made by fabricators.”
National Metal Fabricators offers laser-cut, custom metal fabrication. Their 50,000 square foot manufacturing center provides a space and capacity to take on services that include press brake formation, shearing, punching, robotic welding and assembly. These Chicago custom metal fabricators utilize a 2,000-watt Cincinnati Laser Cutter that can cut carbon steel that is up to ½ “ thick. They can work with measurements so small, a human welder or metal cutter wouldn’t even consider an actual measurement, a distance of 0.005 of an inch!
Their 6’ 12’ cutting table is a dual-pallet table allows then to take on large volume jobs – as one piece of metal is finishing, they can load up the next piece.
The primary benefit of Laser Cutting, as opposed to saws, is that the machine cannot be contaminated by the materials they’re cutting. Saws also have the capacity to dull, and do not always offer the consistency and “clean,” burr-free cuts. By using a laser, a low divergence beam, it avoids human error, saves on cost, and offers a superior finished product.
National Metal Fabricators have served industries and projects that range from locomotive, special machinery, target ranges, custom lighting, architectural and amusement parts. They’ve created hoppers, architectural parts, frames, custom light fixtures, frames and machine and conveyor components.
They offer the following custom metal fabrication services: Carbon Steel Fabrication, Stainless Steel Fabrication, Aluminum Fabrication, Metal Laser Cutting, Press Brake Forming, Metal Shearing and assembly.
