Fabrication
Fabrication is a process used in various industries, including engineering, construction, and manufacturing, to create, assemble, or construct a product from raw or semi-finished materials. The term can also refer to the act of falsifying or making up something, such as a lie or a false document.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Fabrication processes vary depending on the industry and the product being fabricated. In general, fabrication involves cutting, shaping, and assembling components to create a finished product. This can be done manually or with the use of automated machinery.
In the engineering and manufacturing industries, fabrication often involves the use of CNC machines, which can precisely cut and shape metal components. These machines are programmed with specific instructions to carry out the necessary operations.
In the construction industry, fabrication can refer to the process of assembling components to create a structure, such as a building or a bridge. This can involve welding, bolting, or riveting components together.
Fabrication can also refer to the act of falsifying or making up something. This can include creating a false document, such as a fake ID or passport, or lying about something.
Types of Fabrication Processes[edit | edit source]
There are several types of fabrication processes, including:
- Cutting: This involves removing material to create a desired shape or size. This can be done using various tools or machines, such as saws or lasers.
- Forming: This involves shaping material using force, such as by bending, folding, or stretching it.
- Machining: This involves removing material using a machine, such as a lathe or a milling machine.
- Welding: This involves joining two or more pieces of material together using heat or pressure.
- Assembling: This involves putting together various components to create a finished product.
