Specialist Thin-Gauge Sheet Metal Cutting

Thin sheet requires careful control of heat input, nesting and handling to maintain dimensional accuracy and minimise distortion.

Our fibre laser is specifically suited to thin-gauge sheet metal from 0.5–3.0mm, allowing us to produce clean, consistent components in aluminium, stainless steel, brass, copper, zinc, mild steel and Corten.

Typical work includes:

  • Precision sheet metal components
  • Prototype and development parts
  • Short-run and repeat production
  • Signage, lettering and branding elements
  • Architectural and decorative metalwork
  • Panels, plates, tags and covers
