fabricada


Explanation:
Se supone que se utilizara una "T" forjada pero utilizaron una fabricada, por eso falló. En este casi indica que fue fabricada en casa/el taller, no en una fábrica para éste producto.

disagree  Rosa Paredes: Para mí 'fabricada' significa 'hecho en una fábrica". En este caso creo que se trata de una pieza que no es la original de fábrica
2 hrs
  -> Necesitamos ver el significado en el contexto original. En inglés "fabricated" traduce a hecha/creada/inventada/substituta, para que signifique ‘hecha en una fábrica’ se diría "Manufactured"... aunque sea una palabra sinónima.Gracias por el punto de vista
