Custom Stainless Fabrication: Laser, Waterjet, Cutting and Bevelling
For a custom stainless part, send a drawing (DWG/DXF/PDF), material and thickness, quantity, tolerance, surface and packing requirements. Laser cutting suits thin-to-medium sheet and fast turnaround; waterjet suits thicker plate and heat-sensitive parts; bevelling and drilling are added as secondary operations.
| Process | Typical thickness | Tolerance / edge | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser cutting | 0.5–20 mm | Good, narrow kerf | Sheet parts, fast delivery |
| Waterjet | 3–100 mm+ | Good, no heat affected zone | Thick plate, heat-sensitive |
| Shearing | 0.5–6 mm | Straight cuts | Rectangular blanks |
| Bevelling / drilling | depends | Per drawing | Weld preparation, assembly |
What to send for a quote
drawing with tolerances, material, thickness, quantity, surface, packaging, destination.
How to control cost
nesting efficiency, standard material sizes, avoiding unnecessary tight tolerances, finishing only where needed.
Quality checks
dimensional report, burr and edge condition, flatness, material certificate.
FAQ
- Which file formats do you accept?
