Fab houses...in or out

Aug 15

Can someone set me straight on this..

Lately I've been talking to gear makers about fabrication plants ( that is..the guys who do all the weldments putting the gearbox casings, ASME boilers, and tanks together...and even the structural welders...

And they seem to say that fabrication is a dying industry...How can that be???...We'll always need buildings to live and work in, and they will need to be heated with boilers.. Gear units I agree because manufacturing plants are not being replaced...

And if those CAD jobs are being shipped overseas...Does the Solidworks or AutoCAD draftsman stand a chance longterm ???

Ignorant with Blinders..
