Custom Metal Fabrication Capabilities: 2D & 3D Laser Cutting

Boyd Metals

Custom metal fabrication has made impressive strides. With advanced technology and techniques like 2D and 3D laser cutting, our fabrication capabilities meet the unique needs of different industries, all while delivering the precision and versatility that today’s fabrication projects require. 

Precision Redefined

2D laser cutting has transformed the way we approach flat metal fabrication. By using focused optical light, we can achieve cuts with a level of detail that was once thought impossible. From the intricate components needed in automotive manufacturing to the large-scale elements used in architectural projects, 2D laser cutting is versatile enough to meet diverse industry needs. Whether you're crafting parts for aerospace applications or creating eye-catching signage, the possibilities are virtually limitless with our 2D fiber laser cutter.

Shaping the Future

Tye Throneberry quoteWhile 2D cutting offers fantastic precision, tube laser cutting takes fabrication to the next level. The days of time-consuming pre-treatment and post-treatment processes are behind us. 3D laser cutting can process large tubes (or cylindrical objects) and create complex geometries in a single, efficient operation.

Industries from architecture to medical device manufacturing are reaping the benefits of this technology. Imagine crafting intricate handrails for an arena or producing precise tubing for life-saving medical equipment - all with unparalleled speed and accuracy. Or better yet, imagine not having the tube laser and having to cut intricate handrails for an arena…you get it.

Fiber vs. CO2: Choosing the Right Laser Technology

Not all technologies are created equal in the world of laser cutting. Fiber laser cutters excel at cutting thicker, reflective materials with impressive speed and energy efficiency. On the other hand, CO2 lasers, with their longer wavelength, are ideal for processing organic materials and certain plastics.

We leverage both technologies, allowing us to tailor our approach to your specific project needs. Whether you need the raw power of a fiber laser cutter or the versatility of a CO2 system, we can handle it. Our team is ready to guide you in choosing the right solution to your project's success.
