Machining & Fabrication: How They Work Together

machining and fabrication

In order to understand how machining and fabrication work together, you must first understand how they differ. Machining and fabrication are both industrial terms that refer to the process of producing or constructing a product. Machining converts raw materials into a finished products via large-scale industrial operations, while fabrication assembles various standardized parts to make a finished product. Essentially, machining involves building a product from the bottom-up, wheres fabrication is the assembling of already-manufactured parts to create a product.
