Why Choose Us for Your Laser Cutting?

We offer more than just a flat laser cutting service — we’re a strategic partner to engineers, buyers, and fabricators who rely on tight tolerances, smart geometries, and fast turnarounds. We are a One-Stop-Shop for all your needs, including:

  • Tab-and-slot ready cuts for self-fixturing assemblies
  • Etching for part numbers, weld callouts, and bend lines
  • Press Brake Bending and Roll Forming
  • Tightly integrated welding & fabrication
  • Traceability with MTRs and quality reports

Why it matters: Whether you’re welding, bolting, assembling, or shipping a kit of parts, we deliver the cut quality and precision that keeps your project on track.

Smart Cuts = Fast Builds

Our capabilities go beyond clean cuts — we integrate slots, tabs, copes, and alignment features directly into your parts, eliminating hours of manual layout, grinding, and guesswork.

Processing Features

  • Slot and Tab:
    Align parts in the fixture without
  • Complex Coping:
    Unlock new part possibilities
  • Etch Lines:
    Visual guides for layout or operator instructions
  • Error Proofing:
    Tabs, holes, and notches eliminate rework
