Metal fabrication is one of the most extensively used processes as this process shapes metals into various kinds of models. The metal is melted, bent and assembled in various combinations in order to give birth to new and varied models. Metal is one very important element that is used in making cars, machines and other solid things. Metal is very sturdy and durable. It is used in almost everything that is made with the purpose of being sturdy and long lasting. A metal could be available in plain sheets or other way. They have to be molded according to the thing that has to be made. Metal fabrication is a tough process and is done by professionals. There are a number of ways though which metal prototyping is done.

Types of metal prototyping
Since there is a difference in the way things are manufactured while using the same elements, there will obviously be a different process altogether to do it. Similarly, there are a number of types of metal prototypes that are used. It is very important to determine the most suitable way so that the product is build in the most efficient manner. These elements mentioned below are important for fabrication.
- One kind of prototyping is the steel metal prototypes. This is considered to be the key towards success. This type helps the companies understand and also see the product that they have been preparing. If this type is chosen properly, it makes the product look great. Also, on the other hand, if there is a mistake made, there is a heavy loss that takes place and turns out to be a failure.
- The other kind of metal prototyping is the rapid prototyping; there are different forms of rapid prototyping and each kind of business would require the various forms as each has an individual significance. This type of prototyping can make the business achieve high success.

- The other kind is the precision prototyping- as the name suggests everything in this form is done very precisely. The models that are made by this form of prototyping are carefully looked after. The products is very carefully modeled, detailed, and given the finishing touch. These are used extensively to build models.
- Precision stamping is another used form of metal prototyping. The models are also kept under precision in this form; it is different from the precision stamping as it less accurate and detailed. Stamping is extensively used to detail models and is also a very cost effective solution. It gives good results and is considered pocket friendly. It is highly used for the making of unique parts, as these kinds of parts need elaborate detailing and attention. Stamping is used quite often as it can make any kinds of parts. It is not only reasonable but is also relatively a faster process. This kind of prototyping if used carefully can save a lot of time, along with saving time; it can also reduce the cost of the production that the company designing any model has to incur.
