Every quote is priced from your real DXF geometry, not a flat per-sheet guess.

Two ways to get your metal made

Straightforward parts get an instant online price. Everything else -- bending, welding, fabrication and finishing -- gets a quote from us, fast.

How it works

Every quote is priced from the actual geometry of your part, checked by a person, then sent straight to the cutter.

  1. 01

    Upload your DXF

    No file yet? Request a custom drawing below and we'll produce one for you.

  2. 02

    Instant price

    Material, cutting time and your delivery option are all priced automatically, right away.

  3. 03

    Accept & pay

    Review the full breakdown, accept the quote, and it's locked in.

  4. 04

    Checked, then cut

    We verify every job before it reaches the laser, then it's cut and collected or delivered.

Priced from the actual part

Every quote reads the true cut length, pierce count and bounding box straight out of your DXF. Material cost, machine time and setup are all calculated from your specific geometry, not a flat per-sheet guess.

Precision you can see

Clean, sharp cut edges every time. The price you accept is the price you pay, with no surprises when the part lands on your bench.

Real machine. Real numbers.

Fast, without losing accuracy

Every job runs on our fabricator's HSG G3015X fiber laser, on Alpha T's real-time bus control — no drift from older pulse signals as the machine speeds up, so the cut stays clean.

±0.03mm, full-size bed

3000 × 1500mm bed, ±0.03mm/m positioning accuracy, 30m/min rapid traverse — the actual machine your part gets nested and cut on, not a number off a brochure.

Materials we cut

Mild steel up to 30mm, plus a full range of other metals.

Brass & Copper

Request a price

These metals are priced individually rather than instantly online. Pick a material and size, tell us how many you need, and attach a drawing if you have one.

Only used to quote and follow up on this request. Never sold or shared beyond that.

Drag & drop a drawing or photo here, or click to browse

Not instant. We'll come back to you with a price by email, not an automated estimate.

Why not instant?

Brass and Copper prices move around more than our other stock, so every request gets a quick manual check before you get a number.

We check current stock pricing

Size and quantity help us quote accurately against today's material cost.

No account or payment needed to get quoted — we'll follow up directly.

Fabrication & finishing

Beyond laser cutting: bending, welding, fabrication and finishing, individually quoted from your drawings and requirements — no instant pricing, because every job here is different.

File (DXF, maximum 25 MB)

CAD dimension annotations are excluded from cutting. Check the measured size on your quote; dimension labels do not set the part size.

.dxf only, up to 3000 × 1500mm per part. Need part of the design engraved rather than cut? Put it on a layer named ENGRAVE.

One part design per file -- if your DXF nests several different shapes together, add each as its own part instead so every part measures and prices correctly.

Complex or multi-part quotes can take longer while we optimise the sheet layout. Please keep this page open.

No payment is taken yet. We review the drawing, supplier cost and delivery before enabling payment. Your confirmed quote then holds for 72 hours.

Cutting tolerances and production requirements will be confirmed on your quote before payment -- get in touch before accepting if you need a guaranteed figure for a precision fit.

Need bending, welding or finishing too? Request a fabrication quote.

About CutForge

A single place to get metal cut, bent, welded, fabricated and finished — for trade and industry, not just one-off hobby jobs.

CutForge started as instant online quoting for precision laser cutting: real pricing from your actual DXF geometry, checked by a person, then cut on our fabricator's HSG fiber laser. We've since brought that same straightforward approach to the fabrication and finishing work that regularly sits alongside it — bending, welding, complete assemblies, powder coating and protective finishes.

We work with engineering firms, fabricators, manufacturers, tradespeople and businesses that need metal parts made properly, whether that's a single prototype or repeat production. Laser cutting is priced instantly online; everything else is quoted by a person who understands the job.
