Fabtech Expo: Metal Forming, Fabricating, Welding & Finishing
Show Notes

Fabtech Expo is the largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event in North America. We sit down with William Petrow of Broken Motorsport, Gary Cupp, and Gabe Ott to learn what we missed. 

We talk about the rapidly changing technology of fabrication, welding and automated metal forming. Everything from giant robotic presses, to water jet tables for home use, to crazy welding technologies like some sand that gets poured over the weld instead of gas. There was even a virtual reality welding machine that evaluates your welds and teaches at the same time. Most of the discussion is focused on how the new technology can be used in motorsport, but if you missed FABTECH, have a listen and catch up on your fabrication knowledge.
