The piercing ring of my father’s sledge striking the anvil echoes within my mind yet today, 4 decades later. Holding the red hot metal with tongs in their powerful hands while he easily flattened, ground, and bent the black iron – shaping it skilfully again and again until it fit the horses hoof perfectly. Smoke rises and the smouldering odor of the burnt hoof makes me cringe. He winks at me to let me know it’s alright – the horse can’t feel something. He drops the shoe within a cool bucket water; three more shoes to visit.

Blacksmiths (smeds); their work spans the ages.

I have visited many historical landmarks and every time I am just fascinated by the stone and coal forges, fire tools, and metal brandished items on display. Often you can find demonstrations with a burly man within a leather apron and I feel right in your own home. Traditionally, tradesmen dealing with iron or black metal, because it was known, were called "blacksmiths" simply because they would smite and deal with different metals. These folks were locked in high esteem because everyone needed something from all of these custom toolmakers in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Laser cutting (laserskæring) is the most accurate process for precise cuts on almost any material. Laser cutting is utilizing a high-powered laser to slice materials to exact specifications set in the controlling software of your laser cutting machines. Digital settings are converted through the software and administered with the laser for neat and precise cuts.

Laser converting applications are used to perform through cuts, kiss-cuts, laser perforation, scores, laser etches, laser ablations,

laser welding, and drilling.

Laser cutting is a more efficient process than mechanical tooling and cutting since it costs less and is more accurate. A digital control provides for unlimited cutting paths as well as simple cutting pattern changes that could not be practical on the mechanical machine. The laser performs the cut by melting, burning, or vaporizing away the fabric and leaving a sharp, clean edge. Materials that can be processed by laser cutting include paper and paper board, adhesive tapes, plastics, films, textiles, abrasives, metals, and photovoltaics.

In industry most of the materials are fabricated in to the desired shapes mainly by one of the four methods, casting, forming, machining and

welding. Picking a specific technique is dependent upon different factors which could include shape and the dimensions of the component, precision required, cost, material and its particular availability. It is sometimes easy to use only one specific process to obtain the desired object. However, on a regular basis it is possible to possess a choice between the processes available for making the end product. In the latter case economy plays the decisive role for making the very last choice.

Welding as it is normally understood today is fairly a brand new corner amongst the fabrication process through smith forging to sign up with metal pieces was practised just before Christ. Through there are many of well established welding process but arc welding with coated electrodes is still most favored welding process all over the world.
