Laser Cutting in Canada

Laser cutting takes a flat sheet to a finished part fastest: a focused beam traces clean, accurate profiles at speed with little secondary finishing, and fiber lasers handle reflective metals like aluminum and copper. For most fabrication, it is where the part begins.

It is where much of Canadian fabrication begins, too. Fabricated-metal manufacturing is one of the country's larger industrial sectors, thousands of establishments nationwide1, so capacity for flat-part cutting is broad and close by across wattages and bed sizes. Cost scales with cut length and thickness, and laser pairs naturally with bending and welding for finished assemblies.
