The Challenge
Laser Tech Fabrication is a precision sheet metal fabrication shop in Phoenix, Arizona specializing in fiber laser cutting and custom metal components. They recently invested $1.2M in a new 10kW fiber laser cutting system and needed to quickly fill the added capacity.
The challenge was significant:
- $1.2M equipment investment requiring ROI

With significant debt service on the new equipment, they needed to fill capacity quickly or face financial pressure.
