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.
