Can you cut diffusers or opal acrylic?

Yes, we cut opal and coloured acrylic for diffusers and optical panels used in lighting assemblies and hardware projects.

Can you cut foam for packaging inserts?

Yes, we cut EVA and LD foams for trays, inserts and batch packaging, ideal for protecting machined parts and assemblies in transit.

Can you cut jigs for laser marking or assembly?

Yes, we laser cut templates and jigs in-house to position parts during laser marking and assembly, which is especially useful for batch and repeat work.

How accurate is laser cutting?

Laser cutting is well suited for inserts, diffusers and jigs where a consistent fit is important. Tolerance depends on material and thickness, so tell us if you have a specific fit requirement and we will advise.

Do you cut prototypes?

Yes, we support prototyping and small batch work for hardware, lighting and product assemblies, and can keep packaging consistent when you move into repeat batches.

What files do you need to quote?

DXF is preferred for laser cutting. PDF drawings are fine for quoting, and STEP files are accepted if you are earlier in the design process.
