Stoppage of metal goods while in transit for further manufacture.

A fabrication, also called a "fab," is an item manufactured from component parts. In order for equipment to be known as a fabrication, all components must work as one unit; parts alone are not considered a fabrication. When the completed item has a value of $1,500 or more, can stand alone, and has a useful life of one year or more, it is considered a piece of inventorial equipment. All items that are part of the fabrication project are considered "inventorial equipment" regardless of the dollar amount of those items. Once the fabricated item is completed it may be capitalized and thereby excluded from the direct cost base and not subject to overhead by accumulating all costs under one tag number. Facilities Project Request (FPR) Form used by Physical Planning and Construction; describes work to be done.

the act of making something (a product) from raw materials; "the synthesis and fabrication of single crystals"; "an improvement in the manufacture of explosives"; "manufacturing is vital to Great Britain"

the act of constructing something (as a piece of machinery)

building, construction, or manufacturing.

A part produced by any of a number of fabricating processes such as forming, rolling, punching or welding, but especially associated with weldments, the joining of two or more individual pieces by welding.

manufacture; the process of making, building, and/or assembling

A general term used to describe the process of bonding laminate to a substrate, and subsequent machining operations such as cutting to size, edging, routering, drilling, etc.

A manufacturing line capable of creating one or more device types. A vendor may have several fabrication processes.

The making, building, construction, or assembly of part s into a whole. Editor's Note: In other circumstances, this term also means to devise falsely! [D02756] Webster

A term used to distinguish manufacturing operations for components as opposed to assembly operations.

hand construction using soldered sheet and wire

Process of manufacturing done in the plant to transform raw material into completed components for metal buildings. The fundamental processes are welding, cold forming, punching, painting and cleaning.

A manufacturing solution that utilizes CNC punching and forming capabilities. Typically used in low to medium volume production, this soft tool method allows us to get your product into production quickly, with minimal tooling investment. It also affords consistent part quality and flexibility with design changes.

Inventorial equipment physically constructed by a University activity or department.

The manufacturing process performed in a plant to convert raw material into finished metal building components. The main operations are coldforming, cutting, punching, welding, cleaning and painting.

The construction, processing, or assembly of parts.

A fabrication, also called a "fab," is an item manufactured from component parts and from parts machined or constructed from scratch in any one of UCSC's onsite shops. When the completed item has a value of $5000 or more, can stand alone, and has a useful life of one year or more, it is considered a piece of inventorial equipment. Facilities Project Request (FPR) Form used by Physical Planning and Construction; describes work to be done.

Process of constructing and manufacturing.

The manufacturing process of converting raw material into finished steel building system components.

A number of metalworking techniques that allow a part to be assembled from smaller components. Welding, adhesive bonding and fastening by the use of bolts and rivets are the most widely used examples.

The joining, usually by welding, of two or more parts to produce a finished assembly. The components of the assembly may be a combination of cast and wrought materials.

Fabrication, when used as an industrial term, applies to the building of machines and structures by cutting, shaping and assembling components made from raw materials. Small businesses that specialize in metal are called fab shops.

Any of a variety of processes used to create uniformity or specification to natural stone. Stone tumbling, water jet for radius work, cross cutting, bull nose and coring are types of stone fabrication available. Example: Bluestone L&W Stone

The process of making a composite part or tool.

the process of creating an object
