What is metal fabrication?

Metal fabrication is the process of cutting, bending, welding, and assembling metal components into finished products or structures. It encompasses laser cutting, press brake forming, welding, machining, and assembly — transforming raw steel, aluminum, and stainless steel into precision parts and assemblies.

What industries does Cincinnati Metal Fabricating serve?

We serve construction and general contractors, industrial and OEM manufacturers, facilities maintenance teams, and custom engineering projects. Our clients range from local contractors to Fortune 500 companies across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Where is Cincinnati Metal Fabricating located?

We are located at 891 Redna Terrace, Cincinnati, OH 45215. We serve a 250-mile radius from Cincinnati, covering Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and surrounding states. Our facility spans over 50,000 square feet with five fiber lasers, a full forming department, and multiple welding cells.

What is CNC laser cutting?

CNC laser cutting uses a focused laser beam guided by computer numerical control to cut metal with extreme precision, achieving tolerances of ±0.005 inches. Our five 8,000W fiber lasers offer fast, clean cuts on steel, stainless, and aluminum.

What materials can be laser cut?

We laser cut carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in thicknesses up to 1 inch. Our 8,000W fiber lasers handle thin gauge through thick plate with clean edges that often require no secondary finishing.

What are the advantages of laser cutting over plasma cutting?

Laser cutting offers tighter tolerances (±0.005"), cleaner edges requiring less finishing, and the ability to cut complex shapes, small features, and fine details that plasma cannot achieve. It also produces less heat-affected zone, reducing material distortion.

What file formats do you accept for laser cutting?

We accept DXF, DWG, STEP, and IGES files. Our engineering team can also work from PDF drawings, sketches, or even photos. We optimize nesting to minimize waste and reduce your cost per part.

How fast is CNC laser cutting?

Our 8,000W fiber lasers cut at speeds up to 1,000 inches per minute on thin gauge material, making it ideal for both prototypes and high-volume production runs. Five lasers running simultaneously give us capacity for large orders with fast turnaround.

What is the maximum sheet size for laser cutting?

Our laser beds measure 78.74" x 157.48" with crane-assisted loading for efficient material handling. This allows us to cut large parts or nest many smaller parts per sheet for maximum efficiency.

"We initially purchased some items from Cincinnati Metal Fab to try out a new vendor. These laser/bent items were of high quality exactly matching the prints and models. A few months in we sourced the same items from a different supplier because of a slight savings. At this point we learned the valuable lesson of you get what you pay for. The other supplier's parts did not match the print, causing significant delays and overtime. Long story short, we made our way back to Cincinnati Metal Fab knowing that items will be made to print and ahead of schedule. If you are looking for high quality items, on time, then the Cincinnati Metal Fab team needs to be your exclusive source for laser/fabrication materials."
