Fiber-laser cutting and press-brake forming — sheet metal that's ready to weld.
Flat-stock cutting and precision forming for housings, brackets, enclosures, and weldment blanks. Clean cuts, no thermal stress on tight-tolerance features, ±0.5° bend accuracy. Tracked end-to-end in K+G Ai ERP so cut blanks feed straight into welding or assembly on the same job number.
Flat stock in. Formed assemblies out.
Fiber-laser cutting and precision press-brake forming are the front end of sheet-metal fabrication — and they don't live in a separate building. Cut blanks move from the laser to the brake to the weld booth on the same job number, with the same operator team.
Fiber-laser cutting
Carbon steel up to ¾″, stainless up to ⅜″, aluminum up to ¼″. Fiber-laser handles reflective materials that CO₂ struggles with — copper, brass, bare aluminum. Kerf 0.005″–0.020″ with minimal heat-affected zone, so the cut edge is ready to weld or finish without extra prep.
Press-brake forming
±0.5° bend accuracy on flat sheet up to ½″ plate. Custom tooling and back-gauge programs for production. Bend allowance and material spring-back compensated in the CAM program before the first part hits the brake — so the second piece matches the first.
Raw-material prep
Press brake, shear, and saw for raw-material prep on heavier plate. Pre-cut sheet stock arrives at the welding cell ready to fixture — no re-handling, no separate vendor lead time.
What comes off the laser and brake.
Cut + form work concentrates in housings, brackets, and weldment subassemblies for industrial, defense, and aerospace customers.
Welding
Laser-cut blanks feed directly into TIG, MIG, and robotic welding cells. One job number, one traceability chain.

ITAR-controlled cut + formed housings, mounting hardware, and ground-support equipment subassemblies.
Laser cutting & forming questions, answered.
What materials can you laser-cut?
Carbon steel up to ¾″, stainless up to ⅜″, aluminum up to ¼″. Fiber-laser cutting handles ferrous and non-ferrous flat stock — reflective materials included, which CO₂ lasers struggle with.
What's your press-brake bend accuracy?
±0.5° standard on flat sheet up to ½″ plate. Custom tooling and back-gauge programs for production runs. Bend allowance and material spring-back accounted for in the CAM program before the first part hits the brake.
What sheet thickness range do you handle?
Laser cutting from 22 GA up to ¾″ depending on material. Press-brake forming from 18 GA up to ½″ plate. Shear and saw for raw stock prep on heavier material.
Do laser-cut parts feed straight into welding and assembly?
Yes — that's the value of doing laser + forming + welding + machining under one roof. Pieces come off the laser, get formed on the brake, get welded into assemblies, get machined for tight-tolerance features, and ship together on one job number, fully traced.
Will laser cutting affect tight-tolerance features near the cut edge?
Fiber-laser kerf is 0.005″–0.020″ with minimal heat-affected zone — typically less than 0.005″ from the cut edge. For features that demand a perfect edge, we lay out the cut path so machining or grinding finishes the final dimension.
