At Critical Laser, we know that the world of metal fabrication can feel a little overwhelming—especially if you’re not working with it every day. But whether you’re a business owner needing a batch of custom parts, or a creative looking to bring your idea to life in metal, custom fabrication might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Let’s break it down.
So, What Is Custom Metal Fabrication?
Simply put, custom metal fabrication is the process of cutting, shaping, and assembling metal to create something specific to your needs. It’s not one-size-fits-all. Whether you need a single bracket or a thousand custom panels, our team takes raw metal and transforms it into something built just for you.
At Critical Laser, we handle:
- Laser cutting for high-precision shapes
- Bending to get the perfect angles
- Pemming for clean, strong fastener insertion
- Welding to hold everything together
- Coating to protect and finish your parts
What Kinds of Metal Can Be Used?
We work with a variety of metals—each with its own strengths:
- Mild Steel – Great for strength and affordability
- Stainless Steel – Durable, rust-resistant, and sleek
- Aluminum – Lightweight and corrosion-resistant
- Brass – Polished, decorative, and easy to shape
- Copper – Unique appearance and excellent conductivity
If you’re not sure which metal is best for your project, don’t worry—that’s what we’re here for.
When Would You Need Custom Fabrication?
There are countless situations where custom fabrication comes into play.
Here are a few examples:
- A contractor needs exact-sized metal panels for a construction project
- An artist wants to create a unique installation using cut and shaped metal
- A manufacturer needs brackets that aren’t available off-the-shelf
- A local business wants a custom metal sign to stand out
In each case, there’s no “standard” part that fits the need. That’s where we come in.
