Structural steel fabrication is the process of cutting, bending, and assembling (or welding) steel materials to create structural components used in an assortment of projects. These shapes can include beams, columns, and other frameworks that form the frame of various other structures.

　　Historically, metal fabrication was very common with elements like copper before being replaced by alloys (mixes of metals) like bronze. These would be ways of forming the metals, primarily into money (coins), weapons, or art and statues.

　　Nowadays, the fabrication process for making steel is unsurprisingly much more complex. While it is still forming metal (in this case, structural steel) into the dimensions and shape that you need, we now have robotics and production lines to help us churn out more material. This could be tee splitting a steel beam, steel coil slitting, flame cutting plates, and much more.
