What Is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting uses a focused beam of light to cut flat parts from sheet and plate. The beam melts and blows away a narrow path of material — called the kerf — following your CAD file exactly. It's one of the fastest, most economical ways to make brackets, panels, gaskets, and other 2D profiles.
We Nest Your Flat Pattern
Your DXF or flat pattern is programmed and nested on the sheet, with the cut path offset to account for kerf.
The Beam Cuts Your Profile
The laser traces your geometry through the material, producing clean edges and accurate hole and slot locations.
We Deburr, Machine & Inspect
Parts are deburred, machined features are added if your drawing calls for them, and everything is checked before shipping.
More Than a Cut-Only Shop
Laser cutting gets you a fast, accurate flat part. Pairing it with CNC machining gets you a finished one.
Cut + Machined Under One Roof
We laser cut the profile, then mill or drill the features that need machining-level precision — tapped holes, counterbores, pockets, and tight-tolerance bores. One PO, one shop, one accountable team.
Honest Tolerances
Laser cutting typically holds ±0.004" on thin sheet, loosening as material gets thicker. We tell you what the laser can hold — and machine any feature that needs to be tighter, verified by CMM with NIST-traceable gauges.
Deburring & Finishing
Laser-cut edges are deburred before shipping — no sharp corners or dross headed to your assembly line. Ask about surface finishing options when you quote your parts.
Fast, No Minimums
Most parts ship in 5–10 business days, with rush options in as few as 3. Order one bracket or a full production run — 100% made in our Union City, CA shop, never brokered.
Flat Parts We Laser Cut Every Week
Common gauges of aluminum, mild steel, and stainless — cut to your file, deburred, and ready for assembly or machining.
Brackets & Mounting Plates
Mounting brackets, adapter plates, and structural tabs cut from sheet and plate. Accurate hole patterns straight off the laser, with machined features added where the print demands it.
Most commonPanels & Cover Plates
Faceplates, access covers, and instrument panels with cutouts, slots, and ventilation patterns. Clean edges and consistent geometry from the first piece to the last.
Clean edgesEnclosure Flat Patterns
Flat patterns for sheet metal enclosures and housings, cut with bend reliefs and accurate hole-to-edge dimensions. Send a DXF or let us derive the flat from your 3D model.
DXF or STEPGaskets & Spacers
Flat gaskets, shims, and spacers in repeatable quantities. The laser holds consistent profiles across the whole run, so every piece fits like the first.
Repeatable profilesChassis & Base Plates
Chassis plates, base plates, and frames for robotics, automation, and test equipment. Laser cut the outline and clearance holes, then machine the precision interfaces.
Cut + machine readyLaser Cut + CNC Machined
The hybrid workflow: laser cut the blank fast and economically, then add tapped holes, counterbores, and tight-tolerance bores on our CNC mills. Machined features get CMM inspection.
Finished parts
Laser Cut the Blank. Machine the Features That Matter.
Laser cutting is the economical way to make a flat part. But lasers can't tap a hole, cut a counterbore, or hold a bearing-fit bore. That's why we pair the laser with our CNC mills: the profile comes off the laser fast, and the critical features get machining-level precision. Machined features are inspected on our CMM with NIST-traceable gauges.
