Services Flatbed Laser Cutting for Metal, Steel & Aluminium
Choose our laser cutting service for fast, accurate workmanship. Laser Central can cut a variety of metals from aluminium, stainless steel, mild and high tensile steels to various alloys and exotic metals like titanium, brass and zirconium. This covers laser cutting metal for brackets, panels and custom components.
Our state-of-the-art, high-speed laser cutting equipment can handle up to 2500 x 6000mm plates. We laser cut sheet metal and thicker plate with consistent edge quality.

Suitable Laser Cutting Metals
Many different materials that can be flatbed laser cut. We laser cut metal across common grades and exotics to suit diverse projects.
| Mild Steel | Stainless Steel | Aluminium Alloys |
|---|---|---|
| (up to 25mm) | (up to 25mm) | (up to 20mm) |
|
|
|
| High Tensile Steel | Nickel Alloys | Exotic Metals |
| (up to 20mm) | (up to 20mm) | |

Project-ready file prep and quoting
Get a faster quote by supplying flat, vector CAD files (DXF, DWG or STEP), material grade and thickness, quantities per line item and any critical tolerances. Note edge conditions, countersinks, tapped holes or etch lines and tell us if parts will be folded, welded or powder coated.
Keep minimum slots and hole diameters appropriate to thickness, allow for kerf and consider micro tabs where tiny features could move during cutting. Clear notes reduce back and forth and help us nest parts efficiently for better sheet utilisation. If supply is tight, ask about pragmatic substitutes, so urgent parts still ship on time.
We can store customer-supplied plate, stage call-offs for repeat orders and label parts clearly for your assembly process. If manufacturability is a concern, our team can review drawings early and suggest simple changes to improve rigidity, edge quality and handling without altering function.
Quality, delivery and applications
Quality is built in from intake to dispatch. We reference your drawings, label parts clearly and package to minimise surface marking. Typical accuracy of ±0.2 mm is achievable as listed on the core page, with tighter outcomes possible through special programming where design allows.
Thicker plates may need light secondary finishing depending on edge specification, which we will flag at quoting. We support construction, transport, agriculture, mining, architecture and general engineering industries.
Common outcomes include brackets, gussets, perforated panels, guards, signage, machine bases and custom enclosures. Because we operate multiple machines with automated plate handling, extended jobs remain consistent from the first sheet to the last, reducing variability and keeping lead times dependable.

FAQs
Laser cutting is a precision manufacturing process that uses a focused laser beam to melt or vaporise material along a programmed path, producing clean, accurate edges with minimal tooling.
High accuracy and repeatability, tight tolerances, fast turnaround on prototypes and production, excellent edge quality, efficient nesting for reduced waste and no hard tooling costs.
Commonly: mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, high-tensile steels and selected alloys/exotics (e.g., nickel alloys, titanium, brass), plus many non-metals depending on the machine setup.
You supply CAD files; parts are nested on sheet/plate; the laser follows the programmed path while assist gas clears molten material; parts are identified, checked, and packed for downstream fabrication.
Typical capacities at Laser Central: mild steel up to 25 mm, stainless up to 25 mm, aluminium up to 20 mm, high-tensile and nickel alloys up to 20 mm, titanium to 13 mm, brass to 3 mm (material/grade and finish requirements can affect limits).
Multiple machines for reliability, short lead times, plate capacity to 2500 × 6000 mm, accuracy to ±0.2 mm (tighter with special programming), automated plate handling and vacuum lifters to minimise scratches, generous stock on common materials, and facilities to store customer materials — backed by clear quoting and Australia-wide shipping from Brisbane.
