One of the most essential components of any CNC precision machining project is deciding which material is best for a particular application. The decision can be challenging for those new or unfamiliar with the fabrication process as many factors come into play.

At Arrow Engineered Products, we work closely with our customers to help them determine which material options work best for their application.

When thinking of decorative sculpture, one might recall images of lone artists such as Michelangelo or Donatello chipping away at a solid piece of marble to create a masterpiece designed to last for ages.

Fast-forward to today, when modern sculptors have moved from the art studio to metal fabrication facilities to create custom-fabricated metal artwork, canopies, statues, and other metal decorative elements for government buildings, schools, commercial plazas, public parks, luxury homes, and much more.

Metal fabrication is a centuries-old practice of making unique shapes from raw materials to serve a particular purpose. As humankind’s needs have evolved since those early days, so too has the technology used to create customized metal products. 

Arrow Engineered Products has roots in this industry going back to 1923. Although 100 years is a relatively short period of time in the long history of metalworking, it’s during this period that innovations have advanced the most.

The team at Arrow Engineered Products prides itself on using a combination of technology and advanced skill sets to help our customer achieve their objectives, resulting in organic growth and better market positioning in their industry. 

Whether we’re crafting large, heavy-duty steel storage tanks or components for delicate surgical instruments, we follow a proven methodology that brings the best quality results to metal fabrication, every time.

With over 100 years in the metal machining and fabrication industry, we’ve seen every challenge imaginable in large-scale metal projects. Thanks to hard work and ingenuity, our team has always risen to address these challenges with forward-thinking, innovative solutions.

Here are two common challenges metal fabricators face and how Arrow Engineered Products solves them.

Custom metal fabrication begins with a deep understanding of the customer’s unique requirements to develop an approach that delivers the most accurate results of the highest quality. 

That’s why Arrow Engineered Products uses specialized fabrication processes to overcome design challenges and meet project specifications.

The metal fabrication industry has significantly transformed in recent years, driven by tech-based advancements, innovative materials, and evolving design philosophies. As demand for complex, functional components continues to rise, parts designers and metal fabricators are embracing these four cutting-edge trends
