Quicker cutting
Fiber laser cutting moves parts on to forming and fabrication sooner.
Fiber Laser Cutting & CNC Press Brake Forming Cut, formed and ready to build
Fiber laser cutting on a Bystronic 6 kW laser with a fully automated tower system, a 5 ft × 10 ft bed and cutting up to 1.125 in. thick, then formed on our CNC press brakes.
Laser & Forming division
Fiber laser cutting with an automated tower
Our Bystronic 6 kW fiber laser works with a fully automated tower system on a 5 ft × 10 ft cutting bed, and cuts material up to 1.125 in. thick. Full automation allows extended cutting hours, which keeps lead times to a minimum while leaving room for large production jobs.
Fiber laser cutting gives us quicker cutting and better cut quality, with better cuts on a wider variety of materials and thicknesses. Cut parts go straight to our CNC press brakes, fabrication shop and machine shop in the same building.

Forming
CNC press brakes up to 250 tons
Laser-cut blanks move straight to our CNC press brakes for bending and forming: a 12 ft, 250 ton machine for long and heavy parts and a 4 ft, 66 ton machine for smaller work.
Cutting, bending, welding, machining and finishing all happen in one building, so formed parts can go on to our fabrication and machine shops without leaving our hands.
Why fiber
What our fiber laser gives you
Better cut quality
Better cuts on a wider variety of materials and thicknesses.
Extended hours
The automated tower allows extended cutting hours and keeps lead times to a minimum.
Room for production
Automation leaves room for large production jobs.
Questions
Laser and forming questions
How thick can you laser cut?
Our Bystronic 6 kW fiber laser cuts material up to 1.125 in. thick on a 5 ft × 10 ft bed, across a wide variety of materials and thicknesses. Send your drawing or DXF and we will confirm your material and thickness.
Can you bend the parts you cut?
Yes. Our CNC press brakes, a 12 ft, 250 ton machine and a 4 ft, 66 ton machine, form parts after cutting, and our fabrication shop can weld and finish them.
Can we see the laser before we place an order?
Yes. Customers are welcome to stop in and see our equipment. Ask your Met-L-Tec contact to set up a visit, or call (734) 847-7004.
