The cost of these services is dependent on a range of factors including quantities, dimensions and material type/grade/thickness. To get a quote, fill out this form and we will be in touch.
We cut and fold mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum in varying thicknesses.
Lead time varies depending on our current workload and availability of materials.
Maximum sheet size: 3000mm x 1500mm
Tube diameter: 20-200mm
Maximum processing length: 6000mm
This depends on the fold length and material type. However, a 3000mm long fold on 5mm mild steel is the limit.

Engraving is not a service that we offer. We can etch onto parts, which is suitable for identification marks but is not substantial enough for logos or patterns in the same way as engraving. Our etching would most likely be covered by any secondary operations such as painting or powder coating and could be removed if the parts were run through a graining machine.
To make tolerance we say that the smallest hole we can laser cut is to match the thickness of the plate, ie 10mm plate, 10mm hole. We can cut much smaller than this but the tolerance cannot be kept, it is ideal for a pilot hole.
There are multiple reasons a laser cut part could warp, but fundamentally it happens because internal stresses inside the part become unbalanced. Most materials hold whatever shape they’re in (whether that’s flat or bent) because of the way they’re stressed.
Imbalance can be caused by increasing or decreasing stresses in the part unevenly. Or it can be caused by removing partial sections of stressed material.
When it comes to laser cutting flat panels, the more material being removed over a certain area, the more likely warping is to occur. Grill-like mesh shapes or long, thin shapes are most likely to warp as the material is removed.
Sometimes the exact same part can be cut multiple times and not warp the first time, but warp significantly the second time. Unfortunatley there is no way to know whether your parts will bow/warp.
