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. April 2010 marked our entry into the laser cutting industry having being an exclusive waterjet business since 2001. Towards the end of 2009, I was a waterjet operator for […]
We have waited patiently for technology in the laser cutting industry to improve beyond the current generation of Fibre laser cutting systems which we have felt do not meet our quality or productivity needs. We are pleased to announce that the machine of our dreams now exists and we have placed the order. This machine […]
