Why is Metal Fabrication Important for Artists?
In the creative arts industry, having the perfect materials is essential – and with a full range of metal fabrication processes available today, you won’t need to compromise on your vision. The possibilities of metal fabrication allow artists to create detailed and complex designs at whatever scale they imagine, including large art installations and sculptures.
Metal fabrication lets you customise products to fit your specific needs. This is especially important in the creative arts industry, where every project is unique. With metal fabrication services, you can get the exact product you need – no more and no less.
Artists can let their imaginations run free when they have the backing of an experienced metal fabrication team. These services allow artists to branch out and explore new processes and materials within their work, or create commissioned art pieces to suit any client’s requirements. This can lead to new and innovative ideas, and help drive innovation in the arts.
At Kanyana Engineering, our team can also help with the design phase of creative projects. We can offer an engineering perspective built on years of experience to help you conceptualise what’s possible and find the right processes to get there.
Kanyana Engineering is a leading metal fabrication company servicing the art world since 1997. We can help you create the perfect piece for your next project, whether your vision is simple or imaginative.
What Metals Are Used in the Creative Arts Industry?
There is a range of metals that can be used in the creative arts industry, each with its own unique properties.
Some of the most common metals used in creative arts projects include:
- Steel – Strong and durable, steel is perfect for heavy-duty projects. It’s also one of the most versatile metals, making it suitable for almost any process.
- Copper – Copper is a soft metal that is easy to work with. It has a beautiful colour that makes it popular in artistic projects.
- Brass – A mixture of copper and zinc, brass is tougher than copper but softer than steel. It is perfect for projects that need to be delicate but still withstands a lot of wear and tear.
- Aluminium – Lightweight and strong, aluminium is perfect for projects that need to be portable. It is also corrosion-resistant, making it a good choice for outdoor sculptures.
When it comes to metal fabrication for the creative arts industry, choosing the right metal is essential. At Kanyana Engineering, we can help you decide which material will work best for your artwork or equipment.
To keep it simple, all our services are provided in-house, from computer-aided design through to laser cutting, bending and welding.
How is Steel Used in the Creative Arts Industry?
Steel has a wide variety of uses in the creative arts space. Steel is often chosen for art projects because it is strong and durable, and can be easily welded, shaped, etched and more.
Stainless steel sculptures are popular because they can be easily made to any size and weight. They are also perfect for both indoor and outdoor display, as they won’t corrode in the rain or sun. Mirror polished stainless steel is becoming more popular for sculpture work as it has a very attractive finish.
Steel is also commonly used in the framing of large art pieces. By providing a sturdy frame, the art piece can be hung without fear of it falling or being damaged. This is a particularly important consideration for outdoor installations.
At Kanyana Engineering, we can offer you a variety of metal fabrication services, and with many years of experience behind us, we can help choose the right metal for your sculpture.

Our Projects: Wildflower Country Trail
In 2016, the team at Kanyana Engineering worked with artist Sally Malone to design and create beautiful signage and outdoor art pieces for Wildflower Country, WA.
Sally Malone worked alongside Kulbardi Hill Consulting and Clear Vision Graphics for this art project. She designed unique and interpretive signage to be positioned around the ‘Exploring Wildflower Country’ trail.
At Kanyana Engineering, we were well equipped to take on this unique art project. We fabricated a range of different art pieces for this project combining several metals including steel, Corten weathering steel, aluminium, and galvanised metals.
We utilised our advanced laser cutting machinery to create a range of branding, directional and interpretive signage, all with a different aesthetic in mind. This was a great opportunity to demonstrate Kanyana’s capacity to work with multiple metals to create intricate, durable outdoor art pieces.
Our Capabilities
At Kanyana Engineering, the following metal fabrication processes are used to aid the arts industry:
- Laser cutting – quick, effective and precise when cutting steel and most other metals. At Kanyana Engineering, we utilise two industry-leading CNC laser cutters, the 2021 15kw Bystronic Bystar Fiber Laser and the Bystronic Byspeed 3015 Laser.
- Metal bending and folding – our CNC folding and bending process will shape sheets of metal to the exact specifications and requirements. One of the benefits of this technique is avoiding welds which can potentially be a weak spot in finished pieces. It’s also a cost-effective and labour-effective process. The Kanyana Engineering workshops offers the use of three powerful machines, the Bystronic Xpert Pro (3100mm), the Bystronic Xact Smart (4100mm) and the Yawei Press Brake.
- Specialist welding – used extensively for complex sculptures and metal art pieces. Kanyana Engineering offers quality TIG, MIG, coded and certified welders in-house, and our team has a reliable track record, including the knowledge investment and skill to tackle more challenging projects.
Other metal fabrication processes used in the creative arts include NC guillotine cutting, CAD + CAM services, laser engraving and etching for barcoding or tracking of components.
From start to finish, you’ll benefit from our expertise and problem-solving approach. As technological leaders in the industry, you can be confident your project is in expert hands with Kanyana Engineering’s extensive design knowledge.
