Fabricated components designed for laser cutting and folding.
Sheet metal fabrication
Programmer & Industrial Designer, 2021 – 2023
Bylaser is a Brisbane sheet metal manufacturer. It laser cuts client files, some designed in-house, and takes them through full production: brake press bending, welding, powder coating and finishing, for automotive, industrial and architectural clients.





Clients
Role highlights
I programmed and nested incoming laser-cutting jobs to reduce material waste, and wrote Python automation that increased efficiency by 90%.
I designed and manufactured ute trays, canopies, camper trailers, towbars and bullbars for clients including Speedy Towbars, Tough Tinnies and Terrain, Genie Performance Headers and JLG Industries.
Most work arrived as drawings or STEP files. I worked with clients to reverse engineer and improve their designs to suit our tolerances and capabilities, such as K-factors for folding, while adhering to all relevant Australian Design Rules.
Parts went from laser cutting through brake press bending, welding and powder coating, and shipped as commercially available products.
For new parts, I co-designed with clients and refined fit through prototypes and tolerancing until each part fitted first time in production.
I trained the director of Speedy Towbars in Rhino3D so he could design his own parts and send them to Bylaser to manufacture.
