Laser cutting of metal
You provide the design, we turn it into reality. Our metal laser cutting service is designed to manufacture custom-made, high-precision parts in a 5,000 m² industrial facility dedicated to sheet metal cutting, equipped with state-of-the-art laser technology and a smart warehouse directly connected to the machines.
Thanks to our permanent stock of raw materials and a highly automated process, we respond quickly and flexibly to every order. We work with different alloys and thicknesses, adapting to both simple geometries and the most complex designs, without the need for tooling or dies.
Our machinery fleet, consisting of three fiber laser cutting machines with automatic loading systems connected to a smart warehouse, manufactures every part with maximum precision and productivity, regardless of your industry.
Laser Sheet Metal Cutting: Materials and Alloys
Imagine a beam of light so concentrated that it can melt metal at a point thinner than a human hair. That’s how metal laser cutting works: energy is focused on the material’s surface until it melts or vaporizes, while an assist gas, such as oxygen or nitrogen, blows the molten material away from the cutting area. The result is a clean, precise cut without any physical contact with the workpiece.
From thin, delicate components to robust parts for industrial applications, we manufacture all types of geometries and levels of complexity without compromising on high dimensional accuracy.

Aluminum Laser Cutting
Aluminum laser cutting allows different lightweight alloys to be processed with precision, producing parts with clean edges and minimal burr formation. This technology ensures fast, accurate cuts while minimizing the need for additional finishing processes.
Thanks to its versatility, aluminum laser cutting is used in various industries, including automotive, electrical component manufacturing, and architecture, where lightweight, durable, and highly precise parts are required.
Steel and Stainless Steel Laser Cutting
Steel and stainless steel laser cutting allows industrial parts to be manufactured with high dimensional accuracy and excellent repeatability across production runs.
In certain applications, particularly with stainless steel, we use nitrogen as an assist gas to achieve clean, oxidation-free edges that preserve the material’s original properties and appearance. This technology is particularly suitable when tight tolerances, complex geometries, and consistent quality are required for every part.
Laser Cutting of Brass, Copper, and Bronze
Brass, copper, and bronze are challenging materials: their surfaces reflect a large proportion of the laser’s energy, and not all technologies can cut them reliably. Ours can. Our fiber laser cutting technology operates at a wavelength that is more readily absorbed by reflective metals, allowing us to cut them with efficiency and precision.
This allows you to benefit from precision components that make the most of their properties, such as their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, for electrical, electronic, or heat transfer applications.
Laser Cutting of Iron
With laser cutting, we can produce everything from straight-edged geometries to the most complex contours, with clean edges and precise dimensions, part after part.
That’s why it is the preferred solution for metal structures, metalworking, and heavy engineering, industries where every day counts and every millimeter matters. You send us your design, and we deliver parts ready for assembly, within the timeframe your project requires.
Laser Cutting of Galvanized and Electrogalvanized Sheet Metal
Laser sheet metal cutting allows flat parts with precise geometries to be manufactured, even when working with electrogalvanized or galvanized sheets, where protecting the coating is essential.
The laser concentrates heat in a very small area, minimizing the heat-affected zone and preserving the coating across the rest of the part’s surface. The result is components that leave our facility ready to go straight to bending, welding, or painting. Fewer operations, less handling, and real savings in time and costs throughout your manufacturing process.

The 24 kW laser enables high-speed cutting of thick materials with clean edges, while the 8 kW laser is dedicated to thin and medium-thickness sheet metal for long production runs. Cutting tolerances from ±0.1 mm, depending on material and thickness.
Fiber laser cutting machine
At the heart of our facility, three state-of-the-art fiber laser cutting machines are in operation: two TRUMPF machines (8 kW and 24 kW) and one Bystronic, equipped with automatic loading and unloading systems and integrated into our smart warehouse. This advanced infrastructure places us at the forefront of industrial laser cutting.
Their high-power laser sources achieve exceptional cutting speeds on thin and medium-thickness materials, resulting in shorter lead times for your orders and more efficient energy consumption.
Its integrated CNC control automates the entire process and calculates the optimal layout of parts on each sheet using nesting systems. The result is maximum material utilization, less waste, and a more competitive cost per part.
Automated Smart Warehouse
Behind every part we manufacture is a system that works around the clock. Our facility features a smart warehouse directly connected to the cutting machines, which automatically manages raw materials and ensures they are always ready for production.
Sheet metal loading and unloading are carried out without delays between operations and with minimal manual handling. This results in shorter production times, lower costs, and faster delivery of your finished parts.
And because we maintain a permanent stock of sheet metal, we don’t have to wait for material orders to start manufacturing.
