Precision Metal Cutting—On Time, Every Time.

Whether you’re looking for intricate designs or straight forward cuts, our team ensures unmatched precision on every project.

Metal Cutting Solutions

Manufacturers often face several common problems when working with contract manufacturers. These problems can impact various aspects of the manufacturing process, and the quality of the final product. Some of the key challenges include:

  • Quality control
  • Consistency
  • Dependability
  • Responsiveness
  • Communication

Working with Arete mitigates these challenges because we have over 30 years' experience, the right equipment and a commitment to delivering consistent quality at a competitive price.

Metal Cutting Services

Whether you're looking for intricate designs or straightforward cuts, our team ensures unmatched precision on every project. 

Laser Cutting
Elevate the quality and speed of your manufacturing projects with our precise and efficient laser cutting. CNC Laser cuts steel up to 1/2” thick within .001” tolerances; and aluminum up to 1/4” thick within .001” tolerances.

Plasma Cutting
our advanced plasma cutters handle thicker metals with exceptional speed and precision. CNC Plasma cuts steel up to 1/2" thick within .05” tolerances, up to 1-1/4” thick within .09” tolerance; and aluminum up to 1/2” thick within .07” tolerances.

Waterjet Cutting
the versatility of our waterjet cutter harnessing the force of high-pressure water mixed with abrasive materials to cleanly and accurately cut through a diverse range of materials. Cut up to 12” Aluminum and 9” Carbon steel , the majority of material below, tolerances are +/- .002” on thinner material and up to  .1” on thicker material.

Based on tolerances, we’ll determine the most cost-effective method of cutting. We can nest your parts to minimize material usage, and pass the savings on to you. Volume discounts are available.

Laser Cutting Benefits

Laser cutting offers several advantages, making it a versatile and efficient technology for various applications.

Durability: This process is known for producing parts that are exceptionally durable, making them ideal for both functional prototypes and end-use production. The precision of laser cutting ensures high-quality results that withstand rigorous use.

Scalability: With laser cutting, scalability is a key feature. This technology allows for the on-demand production of sheet metal parts, which means lower setup costs compared to other manufacturing processes. It offers flexibility in production volume, catering to needs ranging from a single prototype to large batches of up to 10,000 units.

Material Selection: Laser cutting provides the option to select from a diverse range of materials. This selection includes various grades that differ in strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion resistance, allowing for tailored solutions based on specific project requirements.

Rapid Prototyping: Due to its versatility in material selection, cost-effectiveness, and fast production capabilities, laser cutting is an excellent choice for rapid prototyping. It enables quick testing and iteration of designs, accelerating the development process.

Rapid Turnaround: By integrating the latest cutting, bending, and punching technologies with automated systems, laser cutting services like Xometry can offer instant quotes and often have the capability to ship orders within the same week. This rapid turnaround is beneficial for time-sensitive projects.

End-Use Production: Laser cutting is well-suited for producing end-use parts, thanks to its ability to handle large format cutting, a vast array of material options, and high throughput. This makes it a preferred technology for creating parts that are ready for direct application in various fields.
