Precision laser cutting, with the turnaround you can't get overseas.
An AMADA 6KW fiber laser and a 110-ton press brake, run by technicians who cut, bend, and ship carbon & stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze, straight from your drawing, no tooling required.
See the laser division in action.
Laser cutting is the fastest way to a finished metal part. There is no die to design, no tooling to amortize, and no minimum order to clear, so a first order can be in production the same week you send the file. It is the shortest path from an idea to a part in your hand, and the ideal on-ramp to full production at Evans.
A cleaner cut, and no second step
Laser cutting uses a highly concentrated beam of coherent light to thermally separate metal, in effect, melting a path only as wide as the beam itself. The result is minimal material loss, a narrow kerf, and intricate geometry that other methods can't hold.
The finish comes off the machine smooth and square, which usually eliminates secondary processing like sanding or edge sealing. Integrated cameras adjust the cut path on the fly, so the process repeats accurate, complex parts run after run.
- Narrow kerf, minimal waste
- Smooth edges, weld-ready
- Repeatable to tight tolerance
- No tooling to build or store
From a single prototype to a production run
Because laser cutting replaces physical tooling, it eliminates tool replacement and the high-friction steps that slow other processes down. That makes it ideal for prototypes, low-to-mid volume work, and fast-changing designs.
And when a part proves out, you don't change vendors to scale it. The same shop that cut your prototype can build a hard tool and run it across 67 presses. The hand-off never leaves the building.

If it belongs in a precision assembly, we likely cut it.
Laser precision, held to each sector's standard.
The economics that make laser the right first call, especially when the clock is running.
No tooling cost
Skip the die. Pay for the cut, not for tooling you have to amortize across a huge run.
Fast turnaround
No tool to build means parts can be in production the same week, not the same quarter.
Low-to-mid volume friendly
From a single prototype to a few thousand pieces, laser is economical where hard tooling isn't.
Prototype-to-production path
Prove a part with laser, then graduate it to a hard-tooled press run without changing shops.
Weld-ready edges
Clean, square edges come off the machine ready to fabricate, often no finishing required.

Start with laser. Scale into stamping.
Laser cutting is where a lot of great programs begin. But it isn't where the best ones stay. Once volume justifies it, low-volume laser work can graduate to a hard-tooled progressive die run with dramatically lower per-part cost.
Evans is one of the few shops that can carry you across that line without a hand-off: our in-house tool makers build the die, and our 67 presses run it. Same building, same quality system, same people who cut your first prototype.
Frequently asked
Laser cutting requires no hard tooling, which makes short runs and even one-off prototypes practical. Send your part and target quantity and we'll quote it as-is. (Confirm any current minimums with our team.)
We work from standard CAD and drawing files: typically DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, and PDF. If you have a different format, send it and we'll let you know. Final accepted formats are being confirmed with the shop.
We cut carbon and stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze on a 6KW AMADA fiber laser, plus copper, brass, and cold/hot-rolled steel across our processes. Exact thickness ranges vary by material. Ask us for the specifics on yours.
Yes. We laser cut, brake-form, weld, finish, and assemble in-house, so parts can leave ready to install rather than needing a second vendor.
Because there's no tooling to build, laser work moves fast, often the same week. Send a drawing for a firm lead time on your specific job.
Absolutely. That's the Evans advantage. When volume justifies a hard tool, our in-house tool makers build the die and our presses run it, with no change of vendor and no loss of quality history.
