Select Breton's precision online service for fabricating customized metal parts, including intricate prototypes and high-volume production. Diverse materials and fabrication methods are available. Our local fabricators and experienced engineers guarantee each part meets precise standards.

Laser Cutting

Laser technology utilizes high-energy beams to precisely cut metal sheets, providing accuracy, quick processing, and the capability to produce complex designs with sleek finishes and narrow allowances.

Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting, involving the use of a rapidly propelled jet of superheated plasma to penetrate conductive materials, proves to be advantageous for heavy-duty metal manufacturing due to its rapid speed, economical nature, and effectiveness.

Bending

Shaping metal sheets into V, U, and channel forms, bending is a flexible fabrication technique that allows for intricate shapes with minimal setup expenses. It is suitable for intricate geometries.
