What We Do
Precision Fabrication Services
Laser cutting, press brake bending, and custom metal fabrication for contractors and fabricators throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Laser Cutting
High-definition fiber laser cutting with tight tolerances and clean edges — no secondary deburring required on most parts. Ideal for brackets, flanges, plates, and complex profiles.
Press Brake Bending
CNC press brake forming for precise angles and complex bend sequences. We handle simple flanges to multi-break enclosures — all held to print.
Custom Fabrication
From one-off prototypes to production runs, we work from DXF files, drawings, or samples. Awnings, structural brackets, architectural elements, and more.
