INDUSTRIAL LASER CUTTING.
BUILT FOR PRECISION.
From one-off components and prototypes to repeat production runs, O’Brien Engineering provides precision industrial laser cutting from our Silverwater facility in Sydney.
Precision laser cutting experts since 1963
When you’re sourcing laser-cut components, accuracy is only part of the job. You also need consistent quality, reliable production and a supplier who understands sheet metal.
O’Brien Engineering has been working with metal since 1963. Today, that experience is backed by an integrated fleet of advanced Amada fibre and CO2 laser cutting equipment capable of producing everything from detailed one-off components to repeat industrial parts.
We work with engineers, manufacturers, fabricators, sign companies, architects and industrial businesses throughout Sydney and beyond.
From simple shapes to complex components
Laser cutting provides a fast, accurate and repeatable way to manufacture sheet metal components with complex shapes, fine details and consistent results.
Machine Components
Precision-cut parts, brackets, mounts, guards and profiles for industrial machinery and equipment.
Panels & Enclosures
Panels, covers, housings and enclosure components ready for folding, welding or assembly.
Custom Signage
Precision-cut high impact signage in a range of eye-catching materials.
Architectural Elements
Custom-cut decorative or structural designs for aesthetic or functional elements.
Repeat Production Runs
Consistent components for ongoing production where repeatability and reliable supply matter.
Complete Fabricated Parts
Combine laser cutting with CNC folding, welding and fabrication to reduce supplier hand-offs.
Industrial laser cutting capabilities
Our Sydney laser cutting facility can process a broad range of metals and thicknesses, from detailed thin-gauge work through to heavier industrial sheet.

Laser Cutting FAQs
Common questions about our Sydney industrial laser cutting capability.
What metals can O’Brien Engineering laser cut?
We laser cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper. We also have specialist cutting capability for selected non-metal materials.
How thick can you laser cut steel?
We can process mild steel up to 25 mm and stainless steel up to 20 mm, depending on the material grade, geometry and job requirements.
Can you laser cut aluminium?
Yes. Our fibre laser cutting equipment can process aluminium up to 16 mm, depending on the grade and component requirements.
What is your maximum sheet size?
Our largest laser cutting and processing area is approximately 3070 mm × 1550 mm.
Do you handle production runs?
Yes. Our laser cutting capability supports custom components, prototypes and repeat production work. Talk to our team about your quantities and ongoing supply requirements.
Can you manufacture one-off components and prototypes?
Yes. Laser cutting is well suited to one-off and development work because components can be produced directly from digital drawings without conventional hard tooling.
Can O’Brien fold or fabricate my parts after cutting?
Yes. We provide CNC folding, TIG and MIG welding, spot welding, CD stud welding, tapping, countersinking, inserting and other fabrication processes in-house.
Where is O’Brien Engineering located?
Our manufacturing facility is at 121 Wetherill Street North, Silverwater NSW 2128, in Sydney’s industrial corridor.
