3D tube laser cutting
New production department dedicated to laser cutting tubes and profiles of any shape.
A versatile process that broadens the design possibilities for bespoke metal structures and products. Precision, speed and efficiency make it possible to produce accurate, high-quality components.
We cut tubes and open profiles in iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper. We support designers in preparing components, refining the geometries and connections that will become frames, structures and furniture.
Tube processing in a single pass
Three-dimensional cutting combines geometries, holes and interlocking features in a single process that would otherwise require separate operations.
Holes and slots
Holes, slots and notches of any shape along the tube, for routing, fixing and weight reduction.
Interlocking features
End cuts that make tubes fit together: less welding and less finishing time.
Angled cuts
Bevel cutting: the edge cutting angle is programmed to prepare the component for welding.
Made-to-drawing profiles
Metal profiles with specific geometric shapes, cut to the designer's drawing.
Marking and engraving
Logos, assembly references and numbers engraved directly onto the tube during cutting.
Frames and structures
An innovative system for designing tubular structures, frames and garment rails.
Closed tubes and open profiles
We work with tubes and profiles of any shape. For each piece, the technical team checks the drawing and selects the cutting programme best suited to the material and thickness.
- Round, square and rectangular tubes
- Oval and elliptical tubes
- Equal-leg angles, L-sections and U-sections
- Made-to-drawing profiles
- Iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper
Diameters, thicknesses and lengths
Indicative values: every component is checked against its drawing, as limits vary with cross-section and material.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Cross-sections | Round, square, rectangular, oval and elliptical tubes; L, U and angle profiles |
| Materials | Iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper |
The benefits of tube laser cutting
- Quality and precision: accurate, precise processing.
- Efficiency: holes, slots and interlocking features in a single operation. Shorter processing times and simpler assembly.
- Technology: three-dimensional tube processing, suitable for tubes and profiles of any shape.
- Costs: optimised material use, less waste and no tooling costs.
- Safety: clean cut edges reduce the risk of cuts.
- Versatility: processing available for a broad range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper.
From drawing to component
Tube metalworking for your project
Furniture and retail
Structures, frames, garment rails and shelving for stores, homes and offices, and tubular components for lamps and lighting systems.
Architecture
Metal structures and components for architectural elements and façades.
Industry
Frames and components cut to drawing for plant and machinery.
Cutting as a standalone contract service
We also support businesses with the machining stage alone, laser-cutting tubes and profiles to drawing. This service is for those seeking a reliable production partner that can fit into their own process, including for individual stages of an order.
Tube laser cutting: frequently asked questions
What tube diameters and lengths can you cut?
This depends on the cross-section and material: our technical office confirms the machine's limits. Send us your drawing and we will let you know whether the component falls within our capabilities.
Can brass tubes be cut?
Yes: we laser-cut tubes and profiles in brass and copper as well as steel, stainless steel and aluminium, and we can finish the brass in our own department.
What advantages does tube laser cutting offer over traditional cutting?
Holes, slots, interlocking joints and angled cuts are made in a single operation, with clean edges, less waste and no dedicated tooling. The tubes fit together, reducing the amount of welding required.
Do you offer contract manufacturing?
Yes, we also provide tube laser cutting as a contract manufacturing service, working from the client's drawing. See Contract manufacturing.
Send us your tube drawing
All we need is a file (DWG, DXF, STEP or PDF) or a description specifying the cross-section, material and quantity. We will respond with a technical assessment and a quote.
