What are the benefits of aluminium?

Lightweight Strength: Aluminium is naturally lightweight but offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Bespoke fabrication allows you to achieve the necessary structural integrity without adding excessive weight.
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally resists corrosion, making it ideal for various environments. Bespoke fabrication allows for tailoring the fabrication process and chosen aluminium alloy to further enhance this resistance.
Design Flexibility: Aluminium is highly malleable and can be shaped into intricate designs. Bespoke fabrication unlocks this potential.
Thermal Performance: Aluminium conducts heat well. Bespoke fabrication allows for incorporating thermal breaks or insulation features within the design.
Sustainability: Aluminium is a recyclable material. Bespoke fabrication often minimises waste compared to mass production with leftover pieces. The durability of bespoke aluminium components reduces the need for frequent replacements.

The process of bespoke aluminium fabrication

Consultation and Design: We’ll discuss your project needs, including purpose, functionality, dimensions, and any specific design requirements to understand how you’ll use the aluminium components.
Planning and Design: Our team crafts a detailed plan and timeline, providing you with a tailored quotation. We then proceed to develop a 3D model of your design that aligns with your specifications.
Fabrication: The chosen aluminium is precisely cut and formed to your exact specifications. We then employ the most suitable techniques to join the pieces and create the final, high-quality aluminium component.
Quality Control and Inspection: We put your aluminium components through rigorous quality control checks to ensure they meet the design specifications and industry standards. This might involve dimensional checks, weld inspections, and verification of material properties.
Delivery: We complete the bespoke aluminium fabrication process with the delivery and, if required, installation of your high-quality custom-fabricated aluminium to your project site.

Bespoke aluminium fabrication FAQs

What is aluminium fabrication?

Aluminium fabrication is the process of shaping aluminium into a finished product through various methods such as welding, bending, and cutting. This technique is widely used in industries like warehouses, factories, and construction, capitalising on aluminium’s strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance.

What does an aluminium fabricator do?

An aluminium fabricator cuts, bends, welds and assembles aluminium source metal into the right shape for a project. At CSM, we work from designs to create products ranging from warehouse racking to intricate bespoke fabrications. Our fabricators make use of aluminium’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.

What are the techniques of aluminium fabrication?

Aluminium fabrication employs various techniques to shape and assemble aluminium parts.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining offers precise control over cutting and shaping.
Cutting creates the basic outline while drilling and countersinking prepare holes for fasteners.
Slotting involves cutting narrow openings for assembly or functional purposes.
Mitring cuts angles at the end of aluminium pieces for tight fits in frames or structures, enhancing joint strength and aesthetic appeal.

Can you handle large-scale or specialised aluminium metal fabrication projects?

At CSM, we cater to both large-scale and specialised aluminium fabrication projects. Our state-of-the-art facilities and fabrication team can support you to create high-quality bespoke projects. Whether you need a one-off custom work or bulk production, CSM has the expertise and capacity to bring your vision to life.

What are the main applications for your fabricated aluminium products?

CSM’s fabricated aluminium products are designed for use across warehouses, factories, engineering projects, material handling, residential constructions, logistics, and industrial settings. Our fabricators can make lightweight, durable metalwork that’s built to the specific needs of each sector.
