Fiber Laser Operators At Ajax Are A Cut Above

Learning to become a fiber laser operator is just one phase of building a sheet metal fabrication career.

Fiber lasers are a relatively new entrant into the sheet metal fabrication process. Fiber lasers use a highly-focused beam of light to cut metal with a thickness of up to 3/4″ and sometimes even more.

Fiber laser is an innovative technology that replaces old-fashioned blade-based cutting machinery and yields the benefits of speed, accuracy, detail, safety, and efficiency.  Fiber laser operators are in high demand and can command excellent wages and benefits.
