Process Glossary

A glossary of sheet metal fabrication process terms, including laser cutting, stamping, welding, and more.

Once you understand sheet metal fabrication terminology, you gain the ability to see through the manufacturing process itself. You can anticipate project risks, refine solutions, and communicate more effectively. More than just learning technical vocabulary, it marks a crucial shift from simply reading drawings to thinking in terms of how parts are actually made.
