Cut It All. In One Pass.

Our BLM LT8.20 processes round tubes and pipe from 0.5" up to 8.625" OD. For square and rectangular profiles, we handle sizes from 0.5" up to 8.0". If your part falls outside these ranges, contact our engineering team — we may be able to accommodate it depending on the application.

A flat-sheet laser cuts 2D profiles from flat plate. A tube laser is purpose-built to rotate and feed tubular material while cutting — meaning it can add holes, slots, miters, and saddle joints directly into round, square, or rectangular tubes in a single operation. The 3D tilt head also enables angled cuts up to ±45° that a flat laser can't do on tubular material.

Yes — and it's one of the biggest advantages of working with us. Because we have both the tube laser and over 20 bending machines under one roof, we can laser-cut features into a tube and then bend it in a coordinated sequence. The key consideration is feature placement: holes, slots, and other cut features need to be positioned with the bend zones in mind, since material in the bend area deforms during the bending process. Our engineering team works with you upfront to make sure cut features are located where they'll hold their shape after bending.

Our 4 kW fiber laser cuts carbon steel (up to 0.500" wall), stainless steel (up to 0.312" wall), and aluminum (up to 0.312" wall). The fiber source handles reflective materials like aluminum better than CO2 lasers. If you have a specific material question, our engineering team can confirm what's feasible.

Both. The LT8.20 has a step loader for single-bar prototype runs. You don't need a full bundle to get started. For production quantities, the automatic bundle loader keeps the machine running continuously. No minimum order quantity.

We prefer 3D CAD files. STEP, IGES, and SolidWorks (.sldprt) work best. Our programming software imports 3D models directly and generates the toolpath from there. If you only have 2D prints, our engineering team can model the part for you.
