We Specialize in:
• Fabrication:
At Prairie West Fabricating we specialize in custom metal fabrication of mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum. We strive to product the finest quality metal fabrication for all our customers.
Fabrication as an industrial term refers to building metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling. The cutting part of fabrication is via sawing, shearing, or chiseling (with manual or powered variants); torching with handheld torches (such as oxy-fuel torches or plasma torches); and via CNC cutters (using a laser, plasma, or water jet). The bending is via hammering (manual or powered) or via press break and similar tools. The assembling (joining of the pieces) is via welding, binding with adhesives, riveting, threaded fasteners, or even yet more bending in the form of a crimped seam. Structural steel and sheet metal are the usual starting materials for fabrication, along with the welding wire, flux, and fasteners that will join the cut pieces. As with other manufacturing processes, both human labor and automation are commonly used. The product resulting from (the process of) fabrication may be called a fabrication. Shops that specialize in this type of metal work are called fab shops. The end products of other common types of metalworking, such as machining, metal stamping, forging and casting, may be similar in shape and function, but those processes are not classified as fabrication.

• Custom Shearing & Bending:
Breaking:
Press break; bending and forming of aluminum, brass, stainless steel and steel for your custom metal fabrication projects.
Our AccurPress 725012 Press Brake is operated with computer controls that guarantee precision and versatility. It enables us to do press brake forming on metal up to 12' long and up to 3/8" thick, including: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and brass.
Our large selection of dies enables us to produce a variety of shapes for your metal fabrication projects. Coupled with our years of experience and our quick turn around Prairie West Fabricating can save you time and money.

•CNC Cutting
Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut.
The images below show our 5ft x 10 ft CNC Plasma Table in action. Our table can provide accurate cutting of custom pieces up to 1” thick.

•Welding
Welding is one of the most important trades of the world in which we live. Welding is defined as 'the fusing of two or more pieces of metal or plastic'. It binds the office buildings in which we work, the malls where we hang out, and in every car that we will ever drive.
Welding is a 'skilled trade', which means that not everyone can pick up a welding torch and build something, it must be learned. The skilled welder has a steady hand, good hand-eye coordination, and good working ethics.
At Prairie West Fabricating we ensure that our welders meet with CWB certification Steel Certified CSA Standard W47.1 and Aluminum Certified CSA Standard W47.2
