Metallic Gold Powder Coating

We often work on prototype products which are about to enter the market and some catch our eye more than others. This product required us to produce an accurate radius bend and a presentable tight fitting case. We just love the colour the inventor has chosen for his designs! The fact that this product is made […]

Powder Coated Fabrication

This box was produced for an environmental based business in the UK. It was cut on our laser then folded and welded by our fabrication team. It was important to have a high quality weld on all seams as any discrepancies would show through the powder coating. A mild steel box welded and powder coated […]

Laser Cutting Very Small Details

We were recently asked to manufacture a one off small disk for a University project which was quite challenging for our laser. The main problem was that it was to be made out of thin mild steel. The disk had to have very narrow slots put in leaving only 0.2mm of material between each slot. […]

Stainless Steel Fabrication

This project was to fully fabricate a stainless steel gantry for the food industry. This stainless steel fabrication was designed by one of our clients and fully fabricated by ourselves to their specifications. First the stainless steel box sections were cut to length and welded to create the frame. The facia plates were nearly 4 […]

Piercing Mild Steel

Capturing the moment when a 4Kw laser pierces mild steel is always spectacular. Capturing the moment the laser piercing steel always makes for good pictures. A 4Kw laser can very quickly pierce through mild steel. Close up of our “eco pierce” on 10mm thick mild steel.

Aluminium Calliper

Once a small block of aluminium heading to the scrap bin, this part was cut to size on the waterjet machine with a 2mm machining allowance and then sub-contracted out to one of our clients to produce this lovely calliper. Once a block of scrap aluminium, now a nice calliper.

Replicated Bracket

We understand that sometimes a drawing isn’t available and all you have is a part you require to be replicated. This is not a problem, our team can take the measurements off a sample you can provide to us and we can draw it up for you. We can then make any adjustments to the […]

A Single Laser Cut

This part was cut using only a single line. The heat from the laser cutting didn’t seem to affect the quality despite it being a lot of cutting in a 10mm mild steel plate. The narrowest part is only 1mm. This sample was manufactured using only 1 cut.
