Top 5 Projects You Didn’t Know Could Be Done With Laser Cutting

🛠️ Introduction

When most people think of laser cutting, they picture metal signs, brackets, or industrial parts. And while those are all part of what we do at Metalmorphic Laser, the possibilities don’t stop there.

From creative designs to clever functional builds, laser cutting can unlock serious potential in ways you may not have considered.

Here are 5 projects you probably didn’t know could be laser cut—and how we help bring them to life.

1. Custom Furniture Brackets & Structural Supports

Need a unique shelf bracket, table frame, or support system? Laser cutting gives you the precision to create custom metal components that are both functional and visually clean.

Popular with:

  • Furniture makers

  • Joiners and cabinetry shops

  • Interior designers

Bonus: Add etched markings for easy assembly or brand logos for a custom finish.

2. Architectural Screens & Decorative Panels

Laser cutting isn’t just for industrial parts—it’s also a favourite tool for architects and designers. We regularly cut intricate screens, privacy panels, balustrade inserts, and light features from metal.

Common materials:

  • Aluminium

  • Weathering steel

  • Stainless steel

These can be used indoors or outdoors, powder coated in custom colours, and mounted with ease.

3. Mounting Plates for Electrical & Automation Projects

Electricians and engineers often need bespoke mounting plates, backplates, or control box panels with precisely located holes and cutouts. Laser cutting makes this fast, consistent, and scalable.

Applications include:

  • Switchboards

  • Sensor and PLC mounting

  • Automation system enclosures

You send us the CAD or dimensions—we do the rest.

4. Brand Signage for Businesses

Sure, signage is a common one—but did you know we do full signage fabrication, not just the letters?

We help with:

  • Custom shopfront signs

  • Backplates, fixings, and spacers

  • Stand-off lettering and laser-etched logos

Whether you’re after a sleek corporate sign or a rustic industrial look, we can laser cut and finish it all.

5. Prototypes & One-Off Product Designs

Working on a new product? Laser cutting is perfect for prototyping. We help inventors, startups, and product designers create one-offs or low-run parts to test their concepts before going to mass production.

We offer:

  • Rapid turnaround

  • Feedback on design for manufacturability

  • Material sourcing (steel, alloy, plastic)

You’ll get your part made quickly and accurately—ready for testing or investor presentations.

💡 Bonus: Custom Tooling & Workshop Accessories

Think tool racks, jigs, templates, storage brackets—laser cut to suit your exact setup. Great for trades who want to streamline their workspace or organise mobile setups.

🏗️ What’s the Common Thread?

Every one of these projects starts with a simple idea—then turns into something tangible with the help of laser cutting. The accuracy, speed, and flexibility of the process means you're not stuck with off-the-shelf solutions.

If it can be drawn, we can probably cut it.
