Pickup or shipping
Collect locally in Powell or arrange shipment across the U.S.
Custom fiber laser cutting
A faster path from digital geometry to accurate sheet-metal parts.
Fiber laser cutting is suited to custom metal components that need precise profiles, repeatable geometry and clean, narrow cut paths. It can reduce manual layout and secondary cutting compared with conventional fabrication methods.
865FabLab can review completed production files or help identify the information needed to prepare a concept for manufacturing. Projects may include individual components, prototypes, replacement parts, matching sets or repeat short-run orders.
Produce complex outlines and internal geometry directly from approved digital files.
Add repeatable holes, slots, tabs and alignment features during the cutting operation.
Continue into forming, welding, machining, finishing or assembly when the project requires more than flat parts.
Fiber laser cutting capabilities
Cut-ready components for fabrication, assembly and production.
Final feasibility depends on the metal, grade, thickness, geometry, tolerance, edge requirements and available stock.
Internal cutouts
Openings, access features, clearance areas and nested internal geometry within compatible parts.
Holes and slots
Mounting holes, alignment slots, hardware clearances and production features subject to material review.
Prototype parts
First articles and functional test parts for fit, assembly, design validation and production planning.
Replacement components
Reproduce suitable flat metal components from files, measurements, drawings or physical samples.
Repeat short runs
Produce consistent batches after the design, material and fabrication requirements are approved.
Part identification
Coordinate part numbering, labeling, grouping and packaging for kits or downstream assembly.
Secondary fabrication
Review bending, welding, drilling, tapping, machining and assembly requirements with the cut part.
Finishing coordination
Prepare compatible projects for raw use, paint, powder coating or another specified finish.
Materials for fiber laser cutting
Match the metal to strength, weight, appearance and environment.
Submit the preferred grade and thickness when known. Material availability and machine compatibility are confirmed during review.
A cost-effective option for brackets, frames, machinery parts, fixtures, supports and general fabricated components.
Common fabrication metalSuitable for corrosion-resistant, architectural, industrial, hospitality and appearance-sensitive parts.
Corrosion resistantA lightweight option for panels, enclosures, fixtures, brackets, portable equipment and product components.
LightweightSelected grades and nonferrous metals may be reviewed according to thickness, geometry and project requirements.
Review required
Every metal grade, thickness and feature size behaves
differently. Send the exact material specification and drawing
for a project-specific review.

Fiber laser cutting FAQs
Common questions before submitting a project.
Exact capabilities depend on the material, thickness, geometry, feature size, tolerance and requested finish.
Discuss Your PartWhat materials can be fiber laser cut?
Fiber laser cutting is commonly used for metals such as
mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Other metals and
grades may be reviewed according to thickness, geometry
and machine compatibility.
Can you cut one custom part?
Yes. One-off parts, prototypes, replacement components and
matching sets can be reviewed, along with repeat short-run
production.
Which files should I provide?
DXF, DWG, STEP and production-ready vector files are
useful. Dimensioned PDFs, sketches and reference
photographs may also help.
Can you work from a physical sample?
Potentially. A physical sample, photographs and
measurements can help determine whether a replacement
component can be recreated.
Can the laser cut holes and internal features?
Compatible parts can include holes, slots, internal
cutouts, tabs and other features. Minimum feature size
depends on material, thickness and geometry.
Do fiber-laser-cut parts need deburring?
The required edge condition depends on the part and its
use. Identify whether the project can remain as cut or
requires edge cleanup or deburring.
Can you bend or weld parts after cutting?
Related forming, welding, drilling, tapping, machining and
assembly services may be coordinated when required.
Can you repeat an earlier order?
Approved files may support repeat production, subject to
current material availability, specifications and
production requirements.
Do you accept customer-supplied metal?
Customer-supplied material may require review before
acceptance. Provide its grade, thickness, condition and
dimensions in advance.
Do you offer pickup and nationwide shipping?
Projects can be picked up at the Powell, Tennessee shop or
packaged for shipment within the United States.
