It’s an exciting time at Stage One as we take another step forward in advancing our manufacturing capabilities.

We have installed a brand-new Amada ENSIS 3015 AJ fibre laser in our machine shop, an upgrade that marks a significant investment in speed, efficiency, and next generation technology.

What this means for our production:

  • Faster and more efficient: increased cutting speed and throughput, reducing lead times and boosting productivity.
  • Enhanced capability: the ability to cut a wider range of materials and thicknesses, including reflective metals like copper and brass.
  • Energy efficient: the fibre laser technology uses significantly less power than our previous CO₂ machine, while positioning us for more advanced manufacturing challenges.

This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, efficiency, and delivering the highest quality to our clients. As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in fabrication and manufacturing, the ENSIS 3015 AJ will play a key role in keeping Stage One at the forefront of advanced production.
