Precision Laser Cutting Services
Fiber laser cutting for tube, pipe, angle iron, channel and I-beam — in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Clean, burr-free, dimensionally accurate, and ready to weld.
Laser Cutting Done
Properly, First Time
FABPRO is a specialist optical fiber laser cutting company based in Edenvale, Gauteng. We cut tube, pipe and structural profile to drawing — with every hole, slot, mitre and weld preparation already in place — so the parts that arrive at your workshop are ready to assemble rather than ready to start work on.
Fiber laser technology gives clean, burr-free cuts with a very small heat-affected zone. Material keeps its structural integrity and surface quality, parts stay dimensionally stable, and the deburring, drilling and grinding steps that eat into a fabrication schedule simply disappear.
From a single prototype to a full production run, the accuracy is the same — because the cutting path is programmed, not marked out by hand.
Laser Cutting Across
Every Profile
Tube, pipe and structural section — cut, profiled and prepared on one machine, in one setup, from one CAD file.
Tube Laser Cutting
Our core capability. Round, square, rectangular and oval tube cut to length with mitres, copes, slots, holes and complex profiled ends — all in a single setup, all from one CAD file.
- Cut-to-length accuracy held across full production runs
- Mitres, notches and copes cut in the same operation
- Hole patterns and slots cut into tube walls
Pipe Laser Cutting
Thick-gauge schedule pipe and heavy-wall round section cut with clean, square edges and no post-cut deburring. Ideal for pipework assemblies, saddle joints and branch connections.
- All standard wall thicknesses in schedule pipe
- Saddle and branch intersections cut to fit
- Weld-prep angles cut directly on the laser
Angle Iron Laser Cutting
Equal and unequal angle cut to length with bolt holes, slots and end profiles already in place. Removes the drilling, punching and grinding steps from your fabrication line.
- Bolt-hole patterns cut to drawing, no marking out
- Clean mitred and coped ends for welded frames
- Repeatable across batch quantities
Channel Laser Cutting
PFC, parallel-flange and lipped channel sections processed with cut-outs, service holes and end preparations. Web and flange features are cut in one pass with no re-fixturing.
- Web and flange cut in a single setup
- Service and cable holes cut to position
- Notched ends for slot-together assemblies
I-Beam Laser Cutting
Beam and column sections cut with copes, haunches, bolt holes and connection details ready for assembly — turning a slow, manual mark-and-burn job into a programmed, accurate one.
- Copes and haunches cut to structural drawings
- Connection hole patterns positioned to tolerance
- Consistent geometry across matched sets
Precision Laser Cutting
Where tolerance matters most. Fiber laser cutting delivers micron-level accuracy with a minimal heat-affected zone — parts come off the machine dimensionally stable and ready to weld.
- Tight, repeatable tolerances part to part
- Minimal heat distortion on thin-wall sections
- Burr-free edges — no secondary finishing
Stainless Steel, Aluminium
& Mild Steel
Different metals behave very differently under a laser. Here is exactly what we cut, how thick, and why fiber laser is the right process for each.
Stainless Steel Laser Cutting
Fiber laser is the right tool for stainless. The beam cuts a narrow kerf with very little heat spread, so the surrounding material keeps its corrosion resistance and finish — no discolouration bands, no heavy grinding to clean up afterwards.
- Stainless tube and section in all standard grades
- Clean edges that keep their passive layer
- Ideal for food-grade, architectural and marine work
Aluminium Laser Cutting
Aluminium is reflective and conducts heat fast, which makes it unforgiving on the wrong machine. Our fiber laser handles it cleanly across round, square and rectangular profiles, holding accuracy on thin-wall extrusions that would distort under other processes.
- Round, square, rectangular and oval profiles
- Thin-wall extrusion cut without warping
- Lightweight frames, trims and enclosures
Mild Steel Laser Cutting
Our thickest capability and the workhorse of most projects. Structural mild steel tube, pipe and profile cut to length with every hole, slot and end preparation already in place — so it arrives at your weld bay ready to assemble.
- Structural tube, pipe and profile sections
- Weld preparations cut on the machine
- Batch runs with consistent part-to-part geometry

The Advantage Over
Traditional Cutting
Micron-Level Accuracy
Programmed cutting paths mean every part in a run is identical — no cumulative drift between the first piece and the five hundredth.
Minimal Heat Distortion
A narrow, concentrated beam leaves a very small heat-affected zone, so parts stay dimensionally true and surfaces stay clean.
No Secondary Finishing
Laser-cut edges come off the machine burr-free and square. That removes deburring, grinding and drilling from your downstream process.
Complex Geometry, No Extra Cost
Intricate profiles cost the same to program as simple ones. If you can draw it, we can cut it — there's no tooling to make first.
Fast Setup and Turnaround
Straight from CAD to cutting. Short setup times make small batches and urgent jobs genuinely viable, not just large production runs.
Minimal Material Waste
Efficient nesting and a narrow kerf get more finished parts out of every length — a real saving when material is the biggest line item.
