How artificial intelligence is reshaping the metal fabrication and manufacturing industries.
In this episode of the Next-Gen Metal Fab podcast, host Tim Heston is joined by Caleb Chamberlain of OSH Cut and Lance Thrailkill of All Metals Fabricating to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the metal fabrication and manufacturing industries.
As tariffs and reshoring continue to stir uncertainty and volatility, Tim, Caleb, and Lance talk about how fabricators are looking for ways to stay competitive and agile. AI and automation are emerging as powerful tools, with the potential to transform everything from quoting and scheduling to sales and customer service in manufacturing. But implementation isn’t simple—many companies struggle to integrate AI meaningfully due to legacy software and processes.
Caleb and Lance share real-world insights into how fabricators can overcome these hurdles and tap into AI’s potential. They also discuss how tools like ChatGPT are democratizing software development, enabling even small shops to create custom applications and make smarter, faster decisions.
