Metal fabrication is the process of cutting steel, aluminium or other materials into shapes to produce certain products. The metal fabrication process usually starts with a design that has been drawn up or otherwise conceived by a designer or an engineer. This design is then translated into blueprints by the contractor or engineer and then used to make the desired product. In this article, we look at some of the materials used during the fabrication process and how it all works.

Solar power seems the most likely renewable energy solution when looking into the future. This conversion of energy turns sunlight into electricity, either directly through photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power or a combination. But now, Caltech is taking this a step further by collecting solar power in space and sending it to Earth but before we get into Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project (SSPP), let’s take a quick look at what solar power is.

Although the construction of steel buildings dates back to the 20th century, it wasn’t until World War II that it became common practice. After the war ended, steel buildings expanded significantly as steel became more readily available. Today, companies like PRV Engineering benefit from modern technology, state-of-the-art machinery and computer-aided design software that have taken steel fabrication to the next level.
