Our Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Services

Select Breton Precision's internet-based sheet metal crafting solutions to produce specialized metal parts from intricate, small-scale prototypes, as well as extensive, high-volume batches. An extensive variety of materials and crafting techniques is available for selection. Our home-based metal craftsmen and a group of well-informed engineers guarantee that each component is created according to precise requirements and quality standards.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting employs a high-energy laser to shape metals, delivering accuracy, rapid processing, and the capability to produce detailed designs with polished surfaces and narrow margins.

Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting utilizes an accelerated stream of hot plasma to slice through electrically conductive materials. Well-suited for thick materials, it provides rapid speed, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency for industrial metal fabrication on a large scale.

Bending

Metal bending is a flexible fabrication method for producing V-shape, U-shape, and channel forms in materials, delivering precision and repetition at low setup expense. Ideal for intricate shapes.
