Cutting
CipherFAB's sheet metal cutting capability spans multiple processes, each suited to a different combination of material, thickness, and tolerance requirements.
Laser Cutting
Fibre laser cutting for the tightest tolerances and finest detail work, ideal for thin-to-medium gauge mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Produces a clean, low-kerf edge with minimal heat-affected zone.
Learn MorePlasma Cutting
The cost-effective choice for thick conductive metals where edge roughness/bevelling is acceptable. Up to 2" for steel and 1.5" for aluminium. Higher throughput on heavy plate, with waterjet or laser for clean edge bevels.
Learn MoreWaterjet Cutting
Cold-cutting process suited to heat-sensitive materials, reflective metals, and structural steel profiles. Produces very clean, raw cut edges with no structural change and zero heat-affected zones.
Learn MoreTurret Punching
High-speed, cost-effective punch processing for medium-volume production runs. Best alternative for parts with high hole counts, slots, and simple form features, especially on thin-sheet alloys.
Bending
Press Brake Forming (Sheet Bending)
CNC press brake forming produces precise bend angles and flange lengths across all sheet metal grades. Solid radius, springback compensation, and tooling selection are matched to material grade and thickness during DFM review.
Learn MoreWelding
TIG Welding
Tungsten Inert Gas welding for high-precision, cosmetic joints in stainless steel, aluminium, and thin-gauge mild steel. Produces the cleanest weld beads with minimal spatter, suited for visible cosmetic and precision joints.
Learn MoreMIG Welding
Metal Inert Gas welding for higher deposition rates on structural steel assemblies and thicker sections. The standard process for mild steel fabrications, brackets, and frames.
Learn MoreLaser Welding
Focused-laser welding for thin-gauge metal joining with minimal heat input and narrow heat-affected zones. Slashes post-weld rework and minimizes part distortion.
Learn MoreLaser Battery Welding
Robotic or manual laser welding for high-speed battery tab connections, pack busbars, and cell-to-module assemblies. Contact-free process with precise depth control, preventing thermal damage to cells.
Surface Conditioning
Grinding
Mechanical surface treatment to remove burrs, heavy scale, and weld spatter from sheet metal fabrications.
Learn MoreEdge Rounding / Edge Breaking
Rounds sharp edges of laser-cut parts to ensure safe handling and improve coating adhesion on corners.
Learn MoreDeburring
Removal of micro-burrs and sharp edges using automated vibratory bowl tumbling, barrel tumbling, or part deburring systems.
Learn MoreWeld Bending
Smooths the transition between weld bead and base metal for custom and aesthetic surfaces.
Finishing
Protective and aesthetic surface finishes including powder coating, anodizing, and electrochemical plating.
Powder Coating
Electrostatic application of dry powder cured under heat to form a durable, protective finish.
Learn MoreAnodizing / Plating
Electrochemical process that converts metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant finish.
Learn MoreElectroplating
Depositing a thin layer of metal (like zinc or nickel) onto the surface using electric current.
Learn MorePVD Coating
Physical Vapor Deposition for extremely thin, hard, wear-resistant, and decorative ceramic coatings.
