Our new laser entered production on 20th April 2020. We are very exciting to have this technology on-site which allows us to process a wider range of materials, much much faster and without compromising quality. The end result is that our capacity has increased, our lead times are shortened and our prices to customers have […]
As we prepare for the next expansion phase of the business, it’s time to say goodbye to our old CO2 laser and the memories it created.

From catching a vehicle travelling over the speed limit, through surgical applications, to cutting sheets of steel, lasers are used in a variety of industries to improve the […]
3D printing is the process of creating three dimensional solid objects from a digital (CAD) file using an additive process. Additive processes create objects by laying down successive layers until the object is complete. This is different to subtractive manufacturing – which is what we do – where sections are removed from a larger object […]
As a process-led field, adding value to raw materials by turning them into products through the use of machinery and manpower, manufacturing offers a diverse range of jobs from a wide range of engineering disciplines. Engineers working in manufacturing businesses are responsible for the safe and efficient planning, management and maintenance of production methods, machinery […]
Prototyping is incredibly important in the world of invention and design. Creating product prototypes offers the opportunity to assess the functionality of an item, as well as providing the chance to discuss room for improvement. And the art of creating effective prototypes is one that has only grown in terms of efficiency and quality with […]
Lasers are at the epicentre of Yorkshire Profiles’ business. However, outside of this, the internet is littered with videos demonstrating the “use” of lasers in day-to-day life. With this in mind, in a world where cats and lasers quite happily co-existed, one person simply had to ask the one question that changed everything: what would […]
Laser technology has transformed and improved our lives in thousands of different ways – from the entertainment we enjoy, to the way we shop, and the treatment we receive in hospitals.
If you’re a regular reader of our blogs, you’ll know we keep up to date with how lasers impact on our day to day lives. From something as simple as a light sensor, to space exploration, there are a number of ways that laser technology has revolutionised the way we live – however, there’s a […]
