Techniques and Equipment We Utilize for Architectural Fabrication Projects
Cutting
Precision metal cutting plays a critical role in architectural fabrication projects, where accuracy is paramount. We recognize the importance of fabricating parts and components to exact specifications and rely on advanced equipment to deliver precise cuts for any custom architectural fabrication project. Our cutting capabilities include:
- CNC high-speed laser cutting
- CNC plasma shape cutting
- CNC water jet cutting
- Large band saw
- Cold saw
- Hot chop saw
- Metal plate shear
Forming
In the fabrication process, we shape raw metals into the required forms using equipment that bends, rolls, or presses the material. During the forming stage, the metal's mass remains unchanged—only its shape is transformed. At Gieske, we utilize a variety of equipment to achieve precise metal forming, including:
- CNC brake
- CNC tube bender
- Powered slip rolls
Joining
After cutting and forming the required metal components, the next phase in the architectural metal fabrication process is joining—assembling raw material pieces to create the finished product. This can involve various fusion and mechanical techniques. Our architectural metal fabrication joining methods include:
- TIG welding
- MIG welding
- Soldering & brazing
- Drill press
- Riveting
Finishing
The final stage of the architectural metal fabrication process is finishing, which offers a variety of options to meet the unique needs of your project. In-house, we provide polishing services capable of achieving brushed, mirrored, or angel hair finishes through techniques such as:
- Hand finishing
- Drill press
- Custom grinder finishing
- Orbital sander
- Cloth buffing wheels
- 8’ Directional belt sander
We also collaborate with trusted external partners to offer additional finishing options, including powder coating, plating, anodizing, and more.
