What is edge fabrication?

Edge fabrication refers to the process of shaping, finishing, and treating the edges of materials—such as metal, glass, stone, or wood—to meet specific design, safety, or functional requirements. This can involve cutting, grinding, polishing, or applying protective coatings to edges. Edge fabrication is commonly used in industries like construction, manufacturing, and interior design to ensure that finished products have smooth, durable, and aesthetically pleasing edges. The techniques and tools used in edge fabrication vary depending on the material and the desired finish.
