Riveting and welding are two of the most commonly used techniques in fabrication to join metal components. Both methods create strong, permanent bonds, but they differ significantly in process, aesthetics, cost, and ideal applications. Get to know the differences.

Choosing the right threading method means making sure those threads withstand real-world stress, vibration, and repeated use. Here’s a look at four of the most common methods fabricators use to create strong, reliable threaded connections in sheet metal.

Top medical equipment manufacturer sought to address inefficiencies in their component qualification process, including lengthy inspections, over-dimensioned drawings, mismatched CAD models, and unclear DFM guidelines. HPM collaborated closely with medical equipment manufacturer’s engineering and quality teams to redefine their fabrication and inspection processes.

Laser scanner inspection technology has transformed how fabricators can verify accuracy so that every part meets precise dimensional standards before it moves to production or assembly. So how does laser inspection work, and why does it matter for your fabrication projects?

A well-installed self-clinching fastener might never catch your attention, yet it plays a critical role in securing enclosures, panels, and components across industries. PEM hardware is an essential but often overlooked component of sheet metal fabrication.

Welding is a cornerstone of metal fabrication, and choosing the right technique can make or break your project. The majority of welding projects utilize either Metal Inert Gas (MIG) or Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. Which method is right for your specific needs?
