Using the latest fibre optic and gas-cutting technology we can deliver accurate, timely and immaculate fabrication work. We seek to offer our clients the benefits of laser cutting with a devoted consultative approach with also offers added value for money, making MJ Patch & CO one of the most sought-after steel fabricators in the South West.
What is laser cutting?
Laser cutting machines employ a very powerful and focused laser beam to either engrave or separate steel, aluminium, wood, acrylic and just about any other material. As the laser beam is focused, it will start to melt the material it is focused upon. At the same time this is happening, a constant jet of oxygen combusts adding further heat to the cutting power whilst also clearing any molten metal from the cut.
Whilst laser is used extensively to cut steel, aluminium and other metals, it is also applicable over a wide range of other materials such as plastic, acrylic, glass, wood, stone and other composite materials.
What the laser cuts and the way in which it cuts is electronically dictated by pre-drawn CAD plans which are produced by our in-house dedicated CAD team. This hi-tech process allows us to design metalwork to incredibly detailed specifications and produce products that are identical to these plans.
