Laser Cutting in Quebec City (CO₂ & Fiber Laser)
Q5: What is the difference between CO₂ laser cutting and fiber laser cutting at uMake? uMake.ca operates two distinct laser technologies, each suited to different materials: CO₂ Laser — ideal for non-metallic materials such as acrylic, wood (Baltic Birch, MDF), cardboard, Corian, ceramics, Dibond, and plastics. Maximum thickness: ¼" (6.35 mm). Working area: 60" × 60". Fiber Laser — designed for metals such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Maximum thickness: ¾" (19 mm). Working area: 60" × 120". For clients in Quebec City working on architectural projects, signage, interior furniture, or industrial mechanical parts, both of our processes offer a cutting precision of ±0.008 inches. Our bilingual team can help you choose the process best suited to your project.
Q6: What materials can be laser-cut in Quebec City with uMake? uMake.ca works with a comprehensive range of materials to serve clients in Quebec City across all industrial and creative sectors: Metals: Aluminum (5052, 6061, 7075), mild steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel, galvanized steel, brass, copper, titanium, Chromoly, AR400/AR500. Wood & panels: Baltic Birch plywood, MDF, Masonite, cardboard, cork, particle board. Plastics & composites: Acrylic, ABS, polycarbonate, polyethylene (UHMW), Dibond, carbon fiber, G10. Specialty materials: Silicone, neoprene, rubber, Corian, ceramic, carpet, vinyl. You can use our in-stock materials or provide your own—a significant advantage for architectural or industrial projects in Quebec City that require precise material specifications.
Q7: Is laser engraving available in Quebec City through uMake? Yes. In addition to cutting, uMake offers CO₂ laser engraving on materials such as acrylic, wood, Corian, and various plastics, as well as fiber laser marking on metals (steel, aluminum, stainless steel). Fiber laser marking is especially popular among businesses in Quebec City that need to identify mechanical parts or engrave serial numbers, company logos, or barcodes onto durable metal surfaces. The working area for fiber laser marking is 6" × 6". Please contact quoting@umake.ca for custom engraving projects.
CNC, Waterjet & Bending in Quebec City
Q8: Does uMake offer waterjet cutting services for clients in Quebec City? Yes. The waterjet cutting service from uMake.ca is ideal for thick, delicate, or heat-sensitive materials that cannot be processed effectively by lasers. Our 5-axis waterjet table can cut materials up to 4 inches thick across a 72" × 144" surface, and it can process stone (terrazzo, marble, granite), composites (carbon fiber, G10), rubber, industrial foams, glass, ceramics, and much more. For architects and designers in Quebec City working on custom flooring, facade panels, or architectural slabs, waterjet cutting is often the only technology capable of delivering the required precision and finish without damaging the material.

It is available to clients in Quebec City for projects involving wood, plastic, aluminum, and composites. CNC routing allows for pockets, 3D engravings, and complex contours with high precision—perfect for architectural signage, custom furniture, stage sets, display panels, and prototype parts. Our bilingual CNC technicians can analyze your DXF or STEP file and advise you on the optimal cutting strategy for your specific material.
Q10: Is it possible to have metal parts bent for projects in Quebec City? Yes. uMake.ca offers CNC press brake metal bending for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Our press can bend material up to 3/8" thick and over 10 feet in length, with repeatable angle precision ensured by our CNC system. Bending angles, bend radii, and tolerances can be specified within your STEP files. Clients in Quebec City who require electrical enclosures, metal frames, bent architectural panels, or industrial brackets can combine fiber laser cutting and metal bending into a single order—significantly simplifying the local supply chain.
