Inductive proximity sensors don’t have to be disposable for metal manufacturers. Manufacturers can save money by upgrading to more durable welding sensors.

Side-by-side ATVs and other vehicles that require a roll-over protection system (ROPS) benefit from sturdy aftermarket roll cages. But, as one Missouri fabricator has found out, precisely fabricated tubular products calls for tight collaboration between plasma cutting technology and custom tube bending.

As waterjet cutting moves into the third dimension, think about the complexities that 3D cutting adds.

In its third year running, the Girls Learning to Weld (GLoW) program, part of the Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs (NBT) summer camp series, at Triton College near Chicago is designed to introduce middle school and high school girls to the world of metal fabrication by teaching them welding, grinding, and cutting fundamentals.

After a year off, North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event is back in person and ready to move forward. Here's a breakdown of what to expect.

Need to know how to cut metal without a grinder? Using a reciprocating saw to cut metal has advantages in safety and cutting speed, as well as cost savings.
