Metal Letters & Logos
Flat-cut and fabricated lettering in stainless steel, aluminium, mild steel, Corten and brass. The cut file can include faces, returns, backing plates and fixing details for later assembly.
Metal cutting for mild steel, Corten, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper and 0.6mm Colorbond flat sheet, with a 3000 × 1500mm working area and material-specific cutting ranges up to 6mm. Made through our Sydney workshop for signage, architectural and fabricated parts.
Applications
Metal parts where profile accuracy, repeatability and the later fabrication sequence matter as much as the cut itself.
Flat-cut and fabricated lettering in stainless steel, aluminium, mild steel, Corten and brass. The cut file can include faces, returns, backing plates and fixing details for later assembly.
Arrows, room numbers, plaques, directories and identification panels where consistent profiles and fixing positions matter across a sign family.
Repeat patterns, perforations and custom motifs for façades, interiors, gates and landscape features. We review bridges, borders and open area before production.
Faces, returns, trays and internal pieces prepared for folding, welding, finishing and illumination. Bend lines and visible faces need to be identified in the artwork.
Cleats, tabs, base plates, standoffs and purpose-made mounting hardware cut from a dimensioned drawing, with holes and slots checked against the material.
Flat components for cladding, shopfitting, public artwork and building identification. The drawing should show the material, finish, visible face and later fabrication steps.
Our Work
Cut components, lettering, screens and completed sign work produced from flat metal parts.
Fiber Laser Cutting
A fiber laser concentrates energy into a narrow cutting path while assist gas clears molten metal from the profile. It is designed for sheet metal rather than the acrylic, timber and display materials handled by our CO2 laser. That distinction matters: choosing the process begins with the actual material, not simply the word “laser” on a drawing.
Our working area is 3000 × 1500mm. Material-specific maximums range from 1.5mm for copper to 6mm for mild steel and aluminium. Grade, coating, surface film, sheet flatness, part geometry and the required edge can reduce what is appropriate for a particular job.
A good production file separates the cut geometry from fold references, engraving, notes and dimensions. Closed paths, outlined text and one clear version of each line help avoid double cutting. Critical holes, slots and internal corners should be identified so they can be reviewed against material thickness and later assembly.
The cutting stage is often only the beginning. A sign face may need folding and coating; lettering may need returns, studs or illumination; a bracket may need welding and edge dressing. Tell us the finished use so the quote covers the whole production sequence rather than a flat profile that is not yet ready for installation.

Built for later fabrication
Parts can move into folding, welding, finishing and assembly
Cutting Capabilities
Working ranges for the metals we cut. Every quote still checks the grade, coating, profile and finished edge.
General components, brackets, lettering, screens and parts that will be welded or coated.
Weathering-steel signs, landscape features and decorative panels where the developing patina is part of the finish.
Lettering, plaques and architectural components. Grade, surface finish and protective film must be confirmed.
Pre-finished steel sheet for selected signage and fabricated components where the colour-coated face forms part of the finished work.
Lightweight sign parts, panels, brackets and fabricated components. Alloy and temper can affect the result.
Premium lettering, plaques and decorative details. Surface protection and the required finish should be specified.
Decorative details, lettering and selected architectural components where the natural or patinated metal finish is part of the design.
These figures describe Platinum's standard cutting range, not a universal result for every sheet. Unknown grades, coatings, laminated surfaces and customer-supplied material may need documentation or sample testing.
Acrylic and timber move to CO₂ laser cutting; rigid board and machined panel work to CNC routing; flexible and printed sheet to digital knife cutting.
Choosing the Process
Send the material, thickness, quantity and finished use. We will match the process rather than asking you to diagnose the machine.
| Decision | Fiber laser | CO₂ laser | CNC router | Digital knife |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Flat metal profiles | Acrylic, timber, MDF | Rigid boards and panels | Flexible and light sheet |
| Typical outcome | Metal parts for finishing or fabrication | Cut and engraved non-metal parts | Profiles, holes, pockets and grooves | Through-cut, kiss-cut and crease |
| Key consideration | Metal grade, thickness and finish | Heat response and edge appearance | Tool radius, hold-down and sheet flatness | Tool choice and registration |
| Send with enquiry | Vector/CAD file plus material spec | Vector layers plus material identity | Machining layers and depths | Cut/crease paths and print file |
Quote preparation
Send a 1:1 vector or CAD file with closed profiles and duplicate lines removed. State the exact metal, grade where known, thickness, sheet finish, finished quantity and whether stock is supplied by Platinum or by you.
Mark the visible face, grain direction, protective film, critical dimensions and later operations such as folding, welding, coating or stud fixing. If the drawing is not production-ready, include photographs or a marked-up sketch so drawing time and any sample work can be quoted openly.
