Our Laser Workflow: From Quote to Cut in 24 Hours

At CM Metals, we believe that speed and precision can—and should—go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve built a laser cutting workflow designed to move from quote to finished parts in as little as 24 hours. When your business relies on fast turnarounds, you need a fabrication partner that doesn’t just meet deadlines but beats them.

It all starts with your quote request. Whether you send us a drawing, CAD file, or even a sketch, our team quickly reviews the design and materials required. We use advanced quoting software and our years of experience to return accurate pricing and lead times—often within the same business day.

Once the quote is approved, the real magic begins. Your file is nested into a cutting program using software that optimizes every inch of raw material, minimizing waste. That program is then sent directly to our state-of-the-art fiber laser cutting machines. These machines are capable of tight tolerances and rapid throughput, producing parts with clean edges and repeatable accuracy.

Because we maintain a deep inventory of metals on-site—everything from aluminum and mild steel to stainless and specialty alloys—there’s no delay waiting on materials. And our skilled team works efficiently to ensure each job is cut, deburred, inspected, and packaged for delivery, often within 24 hours.

This streamlined process isn’t just about speed. It’s about reliability. Our clients count on us to hit production deadlines, avoid bottlenecks, and deliver quality parts the first time. Whether you need a one-off prototype or a full production run, CM Metals has the people, the technology, and the process to get it done fast—and done right.
