When it comes to metal fabrication, we know the stakes are high. Whether you’re working on industrial machinery, structural frameworks, or custom projects, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. That’s why we’re here to share our expertise and insights on advanced metal solutions that meet the demands of the Midwest’s toughest jobs. We believe in rolling up our sleeves and delivering quality that stands the test of time, every single time.


Embracing Advanced Metal Solutions for Superior Results


In today’s fast-paced industrial world, staying ahead means embracing the latest in metal fabrication technology and techniques. Advanced metal solutions are not just about cutting-edge machines; they’re about combining skill, experience, and innovation to create products that perform flawlessly.


We’ve seen firsthand how integrating CNC machining, laser cutting, and robotic welding can transform a project from good to exceptional. These technologies allow us to work with tighter tolerances, reduce waste, and speed up production without sacrificing quality. For example, when fabricating structural steel components, precision is critical to ensure safety and durability. Using advanced software and machinery, we can produce parts that fit perfectly on the first try, saving time and money.

Beyond technology, advanced metal solutions also mean customizing processes to fit your unique needs. Whether it’s a one-off custom piece or a large batch of industrial parts, we tailor our approach to deliver exactly what you need, when you need it.


What are the three types of metal fabrication?


Understanding the core types of metal fabrication helps us choose the right approach for each project. The three primary types are:


  1. Cutting - This is the first step in most fabrication projects. It involves slicing raw metal into the desired shapes and sizes. Techniques include laser cutting, plasma cutting, and waterjet cutting. Each method has its strengths depending on the material thickness and precision required.


  2. Forming - After cutting, metal often needs to be shaped or bent. Forming processes include bending, rolling, and stamping. These techniques allow us to create complex shapes and curves that fit your design specifications.


  3. Joining - Finally, the pieces are assembled through welding, riveting, or fastening. Welding is the most common method, providing strong, permanent bonds that hold up under stress.


By mastering these three types, we ensure every project is built on a solid foundation of quality and durability.


Practical Tips for Choosing the Right Metal Fabrication Partner


Choosing a metal fabrication partner is about more than just price. It’s about trust, expertise, and a shared commitment to excellence. Here are some practical tips to help you make the best choice:


  • Look for experience in your industry: Whether you’re in construction, manufacturing, or custom projects, find a fabricator who understands your specific needs.


  • Check for certifications and quality standards: Reliable fabricators follow industry standards and hold certifications that guarantee quality.


  • Ask about technology and capabilities: A fabricator with advanced equipment can handle complex projects more efficiently.


  • Evaluate communication and customer service: You want a partner who listens, responds promptly, and keeps you informed throughout the process.


  • Request references and past project examples: Seeing real-world results gives you confidence in their abilities.


At Harris Fabrication, we pride ourselves on ticking all these boxes. Our team combines decades of experience with state-of-the-art technology to deliver metal fabrication solutions that exceed expectations.
