Sheet Metal Laser Cutting
Flat sheet and plate cut to profile on our fiber laser — mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Burr-free edges, no tooling, no minimum order.
Flat Sheet and Plate,
Cut to Drawing
Alongside our tube laser, FABPRO runs flat-bed fiber laser cutting in-house — so sheet and plate components are cut under the same roof, to the same standard, as the tube and profile work we are known for.
The cutting path comes straight from your CAD file. Outlines, holes, slots and internal cut-outs are all cut in one programmed pass, with a narrow kerf and a small heat-affected zone. Parts come off the bed square, burr-free and dimensionally true — no deburring, no drilling, no marking out.
And because nothing is tooled, an intricate profile costs no more to cut than a plain one, and a single prototype is as viable as a run of five hundred.
What We Cut From Sheet
From a single bracket to a full set of architectural panels — cut from your drawing, on one machine, with nothing tooled first.
Sheet Metal Laser Cutting
Flat sheet cut to profile on our fiber laser — holes, slots, cut-outs and complex outlines in a single programmed pass, with clean square edges that need no deburring before the next operation.
- Complex outlines and internal cut-outs together
- Burr-free edges straight off the machine
- Identical parts across the whole run
Plate Laser Cutting
Heavier plate cut with the same accuracy as thin sheet. Brackets, base plates, gussets and structural connections come off the bed with bolt holes positioned to drawing and edges ready to weld.
- Base plates, gussets and structural brackets
- Bolt-hole patterns cut to position
- Weld-ready edges, no secondary prep
Profile & Blank Cutting
Flat blanks, discs, rings and washers cut to exact geometry. Because the path is programmed rather than tooled, an intricate profile costs no more to cut than a simple one — and needs no press tooling made first.
- Discs, rings, washers and flat blanks
- Intricate geometry at no tooling cost
- Nested to get the most from each sheet
Decorative & Perforated Panels
Screens, balustrade infills, privacy panels and signage cut from sheet to your artwork. Fine detail holds cleanly because the kerf is narrow and the heat-affected zone is small.
- Architectural screens and privacy panels
- Perforated and patterned infills
- Signage, logos and lettering
Custom Laser Cut Parts
One-off prototypes through to repeat production batches, cut from your CAD file. The program stays on file, so a re-order in six months produces parts that interchange with the originals.
- Prototypes and single components
- Repeat batches that match the first run
- No minimum order quantity
Cut, Welded & Finished
Flat-cut parts do not have to leave as flat parts. We laser weld and fabricate them into finished assemblies in the same facility, so a job moves straight from the bed to the weld bay.
- Cut and welded under one roof
- Finished assemblies, not just blanks
- One point of accountability
Mild Steel, Stainless
& Aluminium
Different metals behave very differently under a laser. Here is what we cut in flat sheet and plate, and why fiber laser is the right process for each.
Mild Steel Laser Cutting
The workhorse of structural and general fabrication work. Sheet and plate cut to profile with every hole, slot and weld preparation already in place, so parts arrive ready to assemble rather than ready to start marking out.
- Structural brackets, base plates and gussets
- Weld preparations cut on the machine
- Consistent geometry across batch runs
Stainless Steel Laser Cutting
Fiber laser is the right process for stainless. A narrow kerf and small heat-affected zone mean the surrounding material keeps its corrosion resistance and surface finish — no discolouration bands, no heavy grinding to clean up afterwards.
- Clean edges that keep their passive layer
- Food-grade, architectural and marine work
- Minimal finishing before installation
Aluminium Laser Cutting
Aluminium is reflective and sheds heat fast, which makes it unforgiving on the wrong machine. Fiber laser handles it cleanly, holding accuracy on thin gauge that would distort under other cutting processes.
- Thin gauge cut without warping
- Lightweight panels, trims and enclosures
- Clean edges on cosmetic parts

Why Laser, Not Punching
or Plasma
No Tooling, No Minimums
Cutting is programmed rather than punched, so there is no die to make and no minimum order to justify it. A single prototype is genuinely economical.
Complex Geometry Costs No More
An intricate profile takes the same setup as a simple rectangle. If you can draw it, we can cut it — the complexity lives in the program, not the tooling.
Burr-Free, Weld-Ready Edges
Parts come off the bed square and clean, which removes deburring, drilling and grinding from everything downstream of us.
Minimal Heat Distortion
A narrow, concentrated beam leaves a small heat-affected zone, so flat parts stay flat and cosmetic surfaces stay clean.
Efficient Nesting
Parts are nested across the sheet to get the most finished components out of every square metre — a real saving when material is the biggest line item.
Repeatable Batch to Batch
The cutting program is kept on file. Re-order months later and the parts still interchange with the originals.
