Tab-and-slot jointsWe cut or bend every tube.
Whatever each member of the frame needs, it is cut or bent in the same order and meets the rest at welding.
One frame
We cut the tubes and weld them into one frame.
Cutting and welding work from one drawing, so the frame arrives finished, not as a kit of sticks.
Tube laser cutting, defined
Tube laser cutting turns the tube under a fiber laser, so one program cuts each member to length and adds every hole, slot, cope and miter — work that otherwise takes a saw, a drill press and a grinder. The cut members locate each other, so the same order covers the welded frame.

The model gives the geometry; the drawing carries what the model cannot say: critical dimensions and weld callouts. Tube section, wall, length, material and quantity come with the part.

Questions
Questions about tube laser cutting
What is tube laser cutting, and how is it different from flat laser cutting?
A flat-bed laser cuts 2D parts out of sheet; a tube laser adds a rotary axis that spins the tube under the beam. That means one program cuts each member to length and adds every hole, slot, cope and miter around the full circumference — operations that otherwise need a saw, a drill press and hand grinding, each with its own setup and its own tolerance stack.
What decides the cost of a tube-cut part?
The material, the tube section and wall, the length, how many holes, slots and copes it carries, and the quantity. Tab-and-slot joints and standard tube sizes keep it down. You get a price per part in 24–48 hours, so you see the cost of each part, not one figure for the whole job.
What files do I need to send?
A STEP file of the frame or the individual members, plus a 2D PDF drawing carrying the critical dimensions and weld callouts. The programming for the tube laser is generated from your STEP geometry — no need to unfold or redraw anything per member.
Can I order a single part?
Yes. There is no fixed minimum: price is what naturally limits a very small order, not a policy. One part is priced the same way as a production run of them.
Do you weld the frames too, or just cut the sticks?
Both, in one order. The laser cuts tab-and-slot and coped joints into the members, the frame is assembled and MIG or TIG welded, checked for squareness and dressed where the finish requires it. If you weld in-house you can order the cut tubes alone, but by default we offer the finished weldment.
What are tab-and-slot joints, and why do they matter?
Tabs cut into one member drop into slots cut into the next, so every joint locates itself in exactly one position. The frame self-fixtures: it goes together square without a custom welding jig, which cuts both the welding cost and the risk of a frame that measures right stick-by-stick but wrong as an assembly.
What tube sizes and profiles can you cut?
Round tube from Ø12mm up to Ø220mm, square sections up to 150×150mm and rectangular up to 200×100mm, from stock lengths up to 6m, plus open profiles like angle and channel. Exact limits depend on the machine your job runs on, so we confirm them at quoting.
What if some members of my frame are bent, not straight?
Then the job is split, not rejected: straight members run on the tube laser, curved ones on a CNC tube bender, and everything comes back together at welding — one order, one finished frame. We decide the split at quoting; see Tube Bending for how the curved members are formed.
Can bending and finishing be in the same order?
Yes. Bending, welding where the frame needs it and finishing — anodizing or powder coating, for example — can all be in the same order, so the parts come back as one finished piece instead of passing through several suppliers.
Is my drawing confidential?
Yes. A mutual NDA is signed before you upload, so your drawings and models are covered from the first file.
