Key Advantage
For many manufacturing projects, tube laser cutting provides the most efficient combination of accuracy, repeatability, and fabrication efficiency.
Tube Laser Cutting Features
The LT7 fibre tube laser combines high-speed processing, intelligent automation, and advanced programming capabilities to support accurate tube cutting across a wide range of manufacturing applications.
This helps manufacturers reduce fabrication complexity, improve component consistency, and accelerate production schedules.
3D Tube Laser Cutting Capability
The LT7 supports advanced 3D tube laser cutting, enabling complex cuts, slots, tabs, notches, and interlocking features to be produced directly from the tube.
This reduces secondary machining operations, improves fit-up during assembly, and helps streamline manufacturing workflows.
STEP File Programming
Programming to cutting can take only a couple of minutes using STEP files.
This allows customers to move rapidly from design approval into production, improving responsiveness and reducing project lead times.
No Hard Tooling Required
Unlike traditional fabrication methods, laser cutting tubes eliminates the need for costly hard tooling and dedicated fixtures.
This improves flexibility for design changes, reduces setup costs, and makes prototype development and small production runs more economical.
Reduced Welding & Assembly Time
The inherent accuracy of laser tube cutting can simplify or eliminate welding jigs and significantly reduce welding requirements.
Accurate slots, tabs, and interlocking joints help improve assembly consistency while reducing labour and fabrication costs.
Common Tube Laser Cutting Applications
Our tube laser cutting, laser tube cutting and bending, and tube bending services help manufacturers improve accuracy, reduce welding requirements, and increase production efficiency.
Applications Include:
Structural frames and fabricated assemblies.
Tube and box section components.
Vehicle conversion and transport components.
Conveyor and material handling systems.
Agricultural machinery parts.
Architectural and structural steelwork.
Brackets, supports, and mounting systems.
Complex tube profiles with interlocking features.

FAQs
Do you offer subcontracted tube laser cutting services?
Yes. FC Laser provides subcontract tube laser cutting services for manufacturers, fabricators, OEMs, and engineering companies across the UK, supporting everything from one-off prototypes through to repeat high-volume production runs.
What materials and tube profiles can you cut?
Our tube laser cutting systems process round, square, and rectangular tube and box section profiles up to 150mm diameter, across mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium.
Can you work from STEP files?
Yes. STEP files allow programming to be completed in minutes, helping customers move rapidly from design approval into production and reducing overall project lead times.
What is 3D tube laser cutting?
3D tube laser cutting allows complex cuts, slots, tabs, notches, and interlocking features to be produced directly from the tube in a single operation. This reduces secondary machining requirements, improves assembly fit-up, and helps streamline fabrication workflows.
Can tube laser cutting reduce welding and assembly time?
Yes. The accuracy of laser-cut slots, tabs, and interlocking joints can reduce or eliminate welding jigs, simplify assembly processes, and significantly lower fabrication labour costs.
Do you offer more than tube laser cutting?
Yes. Alongside tube laser cutting and tube bending, FC Laser provides fibre laser cutting, CNC folding, welding and fabrication, powder coating, assembly, and complete manufacturing solutions, allowing us to manage full tube fabrication requirements from a single site.
