OXNARD, Calif.—Force Fabrication Inc., a full-service precision sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and laser cutting company, recently announced a significant expansion of its sheet metal laser cutting capabilities.
With its recent addition of an advanced 6000W Fiber laser and existing CO2 laser system, including a state-of-the-art Amada laser cutting system, Force Fabrication has boosted throughput while maintaining the tight tolerances and superior edge quality its clients expect, the company said in a release.

The move is reported to strengthen the company’s ability to deliver high-volume, high-precision parts with faster turnaround times for customers in aerospace, space, defense, robotics, medical, and other demanding industries.
According to the company, the upgraded equipment now supports cutting materials up to 1 inch thick in steel. It is also said to handle aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, copper, cold-rolled steel, and Inconel with exceptional speed and precision.
“Demand for rapid, cost-effective laser-cut sheet metal components continues to grow across our key markets,” said Justin Gamble, CEO at Force Fabrication, in the release. “By investing in the latest laser technology and optimizing our production workflows, we’ve effectively increased our laser cutting capacity without compromising the quality or AS9100- and ISO9001:2015-certified standards that define our work. Customers can now count on even shorter lead times for both prototypes and large production runs.”

Key benefits of the expanded laser cutting capacity are reported to include faster turnaround, greater material versatility, and improved efficiency and reduced waste.
High-speed fiber lasers dramatically reduce processing time compared to traditional methods, enabling quicker delivery of complex parts. The enhanced systems also cut a wider range of metals and thicknesses with clean, burr-free edges that often eliminate secondary finishing steps. In addition, nesting software and automated material handling maximize sheet use, lowering material costs and supporting sustainable manufacturing practices, the company said.
Another key benefit is scalable production: From one-off prototypes to high-volume orders, the added capacity ensures that Force Fabrication can scale seamlessly to meet fluctuating customer demands. Still another is what the company called “integrated full-service solutions.” Laser-cut parts move directly into sanding, forming, CNC machining, welding, dip brazing, and finishing operations.
Force Fabrication’s Oxnard, California facility is ITAR-registered and equipped to handle both commercial and government projects with the highest levels of security and traceability. The company’s experienced team is said to combine advanced machinery with decades of hands-on expertise to deliver turnkey solutions that consistently meet or exceed customer specifications.
