Mechanical Fabrication Designer

Mechanical Fabrication Designers Play a Vital Role in the Manufacturing Process

The terms fabrication and manufacturing are often used interchangeably, in the context that the speaker or writer is implying/referring to the process of production.  Yet there is a difference between these two descriptors; manufacturing should be used in reference to producing many units of the same item while fabrication is the more accurate term when referring to the manipulation of raw materials or semi-finished materials to make the machines that eventually make those units.

Although this sounds rather complicated, fabrication is in essence a hands-on part of the manufacturing process, since many goods can be made exclusively by machines but the machines themselves cannot be made without human input and involvement.

While the vast majority of consumers are solely concerned with manufactured products,any such goods would not be available at all if not for the initial influences of mechanical fabrication designers, the individuals responsible for conceiving the machines/mechanical systems employed in the manufacturing process; for this reason alone, pursuing a career as a mechanical fabrication designer offers a practical and highly-rewarding pathway for those with an inclination toward developing and improving manufacturing processes.

Mechanical fabrication design is considered a sub-specialty of mechanical engineering.  Hence, the minimum educational requirement would be a Bachelor of Science degree in either Manufacturing Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, with particular emphasis on such disciplines/subjects as:

Within the job description of a mechanical fabrication designer, one may find some or all of the following responsibilities:

To stay competitive and profitable in their respective markets, manufacturers will require skilled mechanical fabrication designers to develop new equipment and redesign existing machines in accordance with the ever-changing needs and demands of their customers.
