Laser cutting is an interesting and diverse industry, more so than most people believe. We have previously covered the impact it has had on BAE Systems, but another industry that has been transformed, thanks to laser technology, is the food industry. Although we eat a number of times throughout the day, the majority of us […]
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 […]

The fact that this product is made […]

This term is used even if the part is more of a rectangular shape to round, or even to an oval shape. Mild steel “Square to Round” cut and folded Square […]
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. […]
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.
