CO2 laser cutting is one of the most accurate and efficient ways to cut metal parts with tight repeatability and clean edges. Using computer-controlled CO2 laser systems, we produce consistent parts from prototype through production with minimal variation — particularly well suited for thinner gauges and materials where edge quality is critical.
As experts in CO2 laser cutting, we handle a wide range of jobs — from simple brackets and plates to complex profiles that integrate with forming, machining, and welding. We frequently help customers refine part geometry, hole sizes, kerf allowances, and material selection to ensure parts cut reliably and efficiently.
As a metal fabrication company, we use advanced automation systems that link our CO2 laser machines with online quote tools and scheduling. FPS offers CO2 laser cutting with streamlined production capacity, giving you reliable, on-demand access to precision sheet and plate cutting.
Our CO2 laser cutting capabilities include:
This combination of CO2 laser cutting equipment, automation, and in-house fabrication allows us to move parts quickly from digital file to finished component.
We synchronize our precision metal work with the highest quality of customer service, while using state-of-the-art technologies that provide customized metal fabrication solutions to fulfill our customer needs.
We are pleased to announce that we are a part of the Made in Missouri USA Program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Manufacturers and the Missouri Buy MO Program, sponsored by the Office of the Governor Mike Kehoe. Both Programs are designed to showcase and support all the incredible and unique products made by Missouri manufactures and business.

We respond quickly with clear pricing, lead times, and any recommendations that could improve cost, manufacturability, or performance.
CO2 laser cutting is a computer-controlled process that uses a carbon dioxide gas laser to cut metal and other materials with tight accuracy and clean edges. CO2 laser cutting is particularly well suited for thinner gauges and applications where edge quality and fine detail are priorities.
CO2 laser cutting is used for:
These parts often move directly into forming or welding with minimal secondary cleanup.
CO2 laser cutting typically supports:
Other metals and non-metallic materials may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
CO2 laser cutting is particularly effective on thin to medium-gauge sheet and plate, and is well regarded for edge quality on thinner materials. Exact cutting capacity depends on material type and thickness — send your RFQ and we will confirm capabilities.
Yes. CO2 laser cutting supports one-off prototypes, short runs, and full production quantities.
Preferred file formats are DXF, DWG, STP, and PDF.
CO2 laser cutting is known for tight repeatability and clean edge quality, particularly on thinner materials. Typical tolerances depend on material and feature size — we will confirm achievable tolerances when reviewing your drawings.
If you provide material, thickness, files, and quantities, we can respond quickly with CO2 laser cutting pricing.
Cost is influenced by:
We often suggest small geometry tweaks to reduce cut time and improve yield.
Both deliver excellent accuracy — the right choice depends on material, thickness, and edge quality requirements.
Yes. We can review your files and suggest improvements for:
This helps reduce cost and improve part flow into forming or welding.
We’ll send a CO2 laser cutting quote and recommend next steps from prototype to production.
