While it’s projected that the industry of custom sheet metal fabrication will continue to rise, reports indicate that there are some risks that can cause disruptions of the growth. These include global policy and pricing. In general, prices are expected to remain volatile with substantial fluctuations due to developments in Asian region as well as other government policies. Despite this challenge, the industry is seen to move towards a certain growth with the following big trends:
The technique of inflated steel structure
This industry trend represents the future potential of sheet metal fabrication. It starts from the inflated steel structure, showing a great possibility with sheet metal. It is a technique of custom sheet metal fabrication that is expected to become universal in the near future. The process involves cutting templates out of the steel, welding the sheets at the edges, and inflating them like a balloon with high pressure.
Improvements in aluminum production
Industry analysts reported that the advances in aluminum market will drive the demand for custom sheet metal fabrication. The old way of producing aluminum involves high carbon emission which is not good for the environment. Thankfully, the new advances in the technology of aluminum production reduced the harmful emissions as well as the cost of producing the metal. Instead of carbon-rich anodes, inert anodes are used which emits oxygen and not carbon dioxide. This improvement will help increase aluminum production, which in turn, will drive production of sheet metals.
The industry will continue to boom
When metal fabricators met and discussed where they stand for year 2019, the consensus is that the industry will continue to move upward despite the challenges. Overall, the market for custom sheet metal fabrication has been good and sectors across the board have been experiencing a boom. The year 2018 has been an excellent example of the booming industry and projections for this year have seen no major downfalls.
