Techniques and Equipment We Use for Ornamental Fabrication Projects
Cutting
Precision metal cutting is crucial for ornamental fabrication projects. We recognize the importance of fabricating parts and components to exact specifications. Using cutting-edge equipment, we ensure the precise cuts required to complete any custom fabrication project. This may involve:
- CNC high-speed laser cutting
- CNC plasma shape cutting
- CNC water jet cutting
- Cold saw
- Hot chop saw
- Large band saw
- Metal plate shear
Forming
Throughout the ornamental metal fabrication process, we reshape raw metals using equipment that bends, rolls, or presses the material. In the forming stage, the metal maintains its mass—only its shape changes. At Gieske, we utilize a range of equipment to form our raw materials, including:
- CNC brake
- CNC tube bender
- Powered slip rolls
Joining
After the metal components are cut and formed, the next step in the ornamental metal fabrication process is joining—connecting the raw material pieces to assemble the final product. There are various joining techniques, both fusion and mechanical. Some of the joining methods we use for ornamental metal fabrication include:
- MIG welding
- TIG welding
- Drill press
- Riveting
- Soldering and brazing
Finishing
The final step in the ornamental metal fabrication process is finishing. We offer a wide variety of finishing options to meet the specific needs of your project. We provide in-house polishing services that can achieve brushed, mirrored, or angel hair finishes using a range of techniques, including:
- Custom grinder finishing
- Cloth buffing wheels
- Hand finishing
- Orbital sander
- 8’ Directional belt sander
- Drill press
We also partner with outside companies when needed to provide other finish options such as anodizing, powder coating, plating, and more.
