Metal Off Cuts
What Counts as a Sheet Metal Remnant?
Remnants are leftover offcuts from larger production jobs. They vary in size, are usually under 1m², and may include premium finishes like mirror, brushed, or patina. Perfect for makers, fabricators, and artists, our metal remnants deliver exceptional quality without the premium price tag.
With a constantly rotating selection, you can find unique materials ideal for creative projects, custom parts, or decorative designs all sustainably sourced and ready for laser cutting or fabrication.
Remnant Sizes, Finishes & Materials for Laser Cutting
-
Available in various thicknesses (0.5mm to 3.0mm)
-
May include rare or premium finishes (mirror, patina, brushed)
If you’re combining remnants with new parts or larger projects, our thin-gauge laser cutting service provides accurate profiling across aluminium, stainless steel, brass, copper and zinc.
For detailed prototypes, test pieces or tight-tolerance components, our precision sheet metal cutting service ensures consistent results across small batches and one-off parts.
Many remnant jobs involve branding plates, tags and small signage elements — you can see more examples on our laser cut signage page, covering brass, copper, stainless, Corten and aluminium.
If you’re working with thin, lightweight materials, we also offer laser cutting for 1mm aluminium, ideal for test pieces, label plates and small-format parts cut from remnants.
