  1. HISTORY OF SHEET METAL FABRICATION– PAST, PRESENTAND FUTURE

  2. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of turning flat sheets of steel or aluminium into metal structures or products, by cutting, punching, folding and assembling. Sheet metal can be cut, bent or stretched into nearly any shape, which is generally done by cutting and burning themetal. ABOUTSHEET METAL FABRICATION

  3. Towards the end of the 15th century, metalworkers no longer stacked coal and iron to liquefy steel in primordial furnaces. The period is also noteworthy because Leonardo da Vinci originally sketched his idea for a rollingmill. Interestingly, the first rolling mills were not recorded for another 100 years, in 1590, allowing Da Vinci’s concept to come to life. One of them intended to create gold sheets that would be used to create coins. Another was designed for cutting formed sheets intostrips. During the beginning of the 17th century, this innovation was met with failure. A flawed technique known as puddling was commonly used in thatperiod. Cast iron was puddled by heating it in reverberation furnaces to liquefy it. Because of the use of sand as the bed for puddling, almost half of the iron was drained from theslag.

  4. With the advent of the industrial revolution and an increase in the demand forsheet metal fabrication, manufacturers developed new inventions like press brakes and assembly lines which allowed them to produce better qualityparts. The 19th century also saw the invention of steam and aluminum hammers, which led to the beginning of a new era in iron production. It was possible to mass-produce steel from cast iron by 1857 due to the inexpensiveprocess. Technology progressed at the same rate as the industry. The General Tramping Union of Tinplate Workers merged into different unions in 1861. The result was the founding of the General Union of Braziers and Sheet Metal Workers in Great Britain andIreland PRESENT(1700-1900) CORPORATE

  5. FUTURE Over the past 600+ years, the sheet metal industry has developed and grown significantly, and our team at CSM will continue to extend this tradition of quality and innovation. The future sheet metal fabrication techniques and processes that will continue to progress and evolve will benefitcustomers. CORPORATE
