12 kW FIBRE LASER CUTTING IN MELBOURNE
Precision components from prototype to repeat production. Our Bystronic 12 kW fibre laser processes sheets up to a nominal 3,000 × 1,500 mm format, backed by CNC folding and fabrication in Heidelberg West. Send your drawings, material specification and quantities for a manufacturing quote.
LASER CUTTING CAPABILITY
*Manufacturer-rated stainless steel maximum. Maximum thickness and full sheet size may not be available together. Material grade, part geometry, sheet weight and edge requirements determine suitability. Other material thicknesses are confirmed at quote.
WHAT WE CUT
MILD STEEL
Laser-cut mounting plates, brackets, guards and other steel components. Send your drawing, grade and thickness so we can confirm suitability.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless components for equipment, architectural and general fabrication work. The laser is manufacturer-rated up to 30 mm in stainless steel; grade, geometry, weight and edge requirements determine suitability.
ALUMINIUM
Aluminium panels, covers and folded component blanks for architectural and industrial applications. Grade, thickness and any finishing requirements are reviewed at quote.
CORTEN / WEATHERING STEEL
Increasingly specified for architectural and landscaping work. We cut Corten to profile — ideal for planter boxes, garden edging, signage, and facade elements.
GALVABOND / ZINCANNEAL
Pre-galvanised and zinc-coated sheet for applications requiring corrosion protection without post-fab coating. Cut-edge protection and finishing requirements are reviewed for the application.
PERFORATED SHEET
Custom openings for screens, ventilation panels and covers. We review hole size, spacing, material and thickness before confirming a pattern.
FLATBED LASER VS TUBE LASER — WHICH DO YOU NEED?
FLATBED LASER
Flat sheet profiles
Our Bystronic 12 kW fibre laser cuts profiles, holes and slots from your CAD geometry. CNC nesting makes efficient use of sheet material for mixed-part batches and repeat runs. Applications include enclosure panels, mounting plates, brackets and architectural screens.
Use for: Sheet profiles, panels, brackets, enclosures, decorative screens
TUBE LASER
Hollow sections and profiles
Our CNC tube laser cuts round, square, and rectangular hollow sections — adding holes, slots, mitre joints, and complex 3D profiles in a single pass. Replaces sawing, drilling, and manual layout entirely. Most Melbourne SMB fabricators don't have one.
Use for: Frame structures, handrails, furniture, trailer chassis, structural assemblies

WHY ENGINEERS AND BUYERS CHOOSE WESTBERG
INNER-NORTH MELBOURNE LOCATION
We're in Heidelberg West. Close to the CBD, easy for site visits, and fast for local delivery. Most jobs don't leave Melbourne.
END-TO-END CAPABILITY
Combine laser cutting with CNC folding. We can also quote welding, finishing and assembly for the completed component.
PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCTION
One-off parts and small batches can use CutFold Direct. For repeat production or non-standard requirements, discuss the complete job with our team.
2025 BYSTRONIC XPERT PRO 150T
Our press brake is the most accurate on the market. Parts that need cutting and folding get the same precision treatment at both stages.
What file types do you accept for laser cutting quotes?
We accept DXF, STEP (.step, .stp), PDF, and DWG files. Maximum file size is 50MB. If you only have a sketch or concept, our CAD team can convert it to a cuttable file.
What is the maximum thickness Westberg can laser cut?
Our Bystronic 12 kW fibre laser has a manufacturer-rated stainless steel cutting capacity up to 30 mm. Suitability depends on material grade, part geometry, sheet weight and required edge finish. Maximum thickness and full sheet size may not be available together. Send your drawing and material specification for confirmation, including mild steel and aluminium enquiries.
How long does laser cutting take in Melbourne?
We return quotes within 24 hours. Most standard flat-sheet jobs are cut within 3–5 business days of approval. Urgent jobs — call (03) 9459 4600 directly.
Does Westberg offer tube laser cutting?
Yes. We operate a CNC tube laser for round, square, and rectangular hollow sections. This is a rarer capability among Melbourne SMB fabricators — most only offer flatbed laser cutting.
Where is Westberg Sheetmetal located?
82 Dougharty Road, Heidelberg West VIC 3081. We're in Melbourne's inner north, accessible from the CBD, and offer local delivery across Melbourne metro.
Can Westberg cut and then fold my parts?
Yes. We can quote laser cutting and CNC folding together, with further fabrication, finishing and assembly where required. Bending suitability depends on part design and material.
