Laser cutting and engraving

We offer laser cutting and engraving for makers, independent creatives, startups and small organisations. Our 60W laser cutter can work with suitable sheet materials up to A3 size, including wood, acrylic, leather and laser-safe lino.

Cutting and engraving time is charged at £5 for each 30-minute block. The minimum charge is £5, so work taking less than 30 minutes is still billed as one 30-minute block. A £20 calibration and setup charge also applies. For example, 1.5 hours of cutting or engraving costs £15, giving a total of £35 including calibration and setup. If supplied files require preprocessing or adjustment to make them suitable and safe for cutting, additional preparation time may be billed. Sheet material is billed separately from these charges. If you wish to supply your own sheet material, for health and safety reasons we require documented confirmation of the purchased material type. We will also inspect and test the material before use. Not all materials are safe or suitable for laser cutting or engraving.

Contact us with your project, material, dimensions, quantity and files so we can assess suitability and provide a quotation.

Product development and process consultancy

We provide practical consultancy for pre-startups, grassroots businesses and independent makers who need to move quickly from an idea to a workable proof of concept. We can help explore fabrication methods, develop practical skills, refine early prototypes and identify sensible next steps.

For established craft and small-manufacturing processes, we can also help investigate ways to streamline production, respond to growing demand, improve repeatability and reduce avoidable material or labour costs. Every project is different, so please contact us to discuss your objectives and the support you need.
