What Is Welding Fabrication?
Welding fabrication is the process of creating metal structures or components from raw materials using techniques like cutting, bending, shaping, and welding. Unlike basic repairs, fabrication involves building something completely new or custom-fit — often from the ground up.
At Waco Mobile Welder, our complete fabrication service means we can cut, weld, and assemble parts on-site to meet your exact needs — whether it’s a custom bracket, staircase, frame, support beam, or equipment modification.
🛠️ The Welding Fabrication Process Typically Includes:
Whether you need a one-of-a-kind solution, a replacement part, or a custom build for your home, ranch, or business, welding fabrication makes it possible — and we bring the shop directly to you.
If it’s metal, and you need it made — we’ll fabricate it.

🛠️ The Welding Fabrication Process Typically Includes:
- Design or measurements – Based on your specs or project needs
- Material selection – Mild steel, stainless, aluminum, etc.
- Cutting and prep – We cut metal to size and prep edges
- Welding and assembly – Using MIG, TIG, or Stick depending on material and strength requirements
- Finishing – Grinding, sealing, or prepping for paint/coating if needed

What’s the Difference Between Welding and Fabrication?
Welding and fabrication go hand-in-hand, but they’re not the same thing. In short:
- Fabrication is the entire process of building something out of metal
- Welding is one part of that process, used to join metal pieces together

What Materials Can Be Used in Metal Fabrication?
Metal fabrication can be done with a variety of materials, depending on the project’s purpose, strength requirements, and environment. At Waco Mobile Welder, we specialize in fabricating with the most commonly used metals in structural, residential, commercial, and agricultural work — all on-site.
🔩 Common Materials Used in Fabrication:
We select the right material based on your project’s needs — balancing strength, durability, and appearance. And since we fabricate on location, we bring only what fits the job.
Need something built to last? We’ll weld it right — with the right material.
🔩 Common Materials Used in Fabrication:
- Mild Steel
Strong, versatile, and cost-effective. Ideal for frames, supports, gates, trailers, and most structural work. - Stainless Steel
Corrosion-resistant and clean-looking. Used for handrails, food-grade surfaces, decorative elements, and modern builds. - Aluminum
Lightweight, rust-resistant, and great for trailers, carports, RV frames, and custom accessories. Requires special welding techniques due to its heat sensitivity. - Galvanized Steel
Steel coated in zinc for extra corrosion resistance. Commonly used in fencing, roofing frames, and outdoor structures. - Tool Steel / High-Carbon Steel
Stronger and harder metals often used in machinery parts or heavy-duty equipment repairs. - Expanded or Perforated Metal
Great for custom platforms, steps, guards, or railing infill panels.
We select the right material based on your project’s needs — balancing strength, durability, and appearance. And since we fabricate on location, we bring only what fits the job.

Do I Need a Blueprint or Drawing for Custom Fabrication?
No — you don’t need a formal blueprint to start a custom fabrication project. At Waco Mobile Welder, we can work from simple sketches, photos, measurements, or even just a conversation to understand what you need and bring it to life in steel, aluminum, or stainless.
That said, the more details you can provide, the smoother and faster the process will be — especially for precision or large-scale fabrication work.
🧭 What Helps Us Build Accurately:
Whether you need a custom bracket, a replacement trailer part, or an entire staircase fabricated, we can help you plan it, design it, and weld it right — even if you’re starting with just an idea.
No CAD files needed. Just bring your vision — we’ll handle the metal.
