Integrated Manufacturing.
With expert operators, sophisticated automated machinery and a talent for solving complex challenges, we can manufacture to your unique design specifications.
Waterjet Profiling.
Fabrum operates the largest 5-Axis water jet in the South Island.
Waterjet profiling does not distort or heat materials, delivering greater accuracy and better results than products that are milled, laser cut or cut using press tools.
Waterjet profiling also eliminates the need for secondary machining and grinding for fabrication processes, making it ideal for common welding projects.
Fabrum Solutions offers a fast turn-around that is generally no more than a couple of days and often the same day for smaller projects.
We are able to take your unique design specifications and translate them into a DXF File.
We make sure you get the perfect quality cut.

Metals.
We are the leading supplier of profiled aluminium plate in the South Island. We stock a range of Aluminium, Stainless, and Steel, as well as Titanium, Copper, and Brass, from which we supply complex profiles or simple rectangles. Our waterjet cutting system uses pressures of up to 60,000 psi, and a cutting “beam” diameter as small as 0.5mm to provide a detailed and accurate cut.
Foam.
Waterjet cutting can provide detailed shapes with no distortion, from a variety of foams, with our cutting head allowing close nesting of parts. This allows us to provide great looking and economical foam shapes for packaging, display cases, etc.
Ceramic & Stone.
Waterjet cutting can be used to cut highly complex shapes and to cut simple shapes with a repeatable, high precision. We have the ability to provide neater cuts for fitting tiles around corners or objects, or to create personalised mosaics, from simple inserts in the centre of a tile to more complex patterns.
All types of porcelain, marble, granite and stone can be cut with no chipping. The cut surface is ideal for polishing or gluing.
Plastic & Glass.
Waterjet cutting cuts any material without burning, melting or shattering it. There are no noxious gases and the process is fast, neat and versatile.
This makes it possible to profile plastics and glass that otherwise would have to be cut using a more expensive, traditional process. The close nesting ability also has the potential to save material costs.
Gaskets.
Waterjet cutting of rubber with our cutting heads allows for the economic production of gaskets from thick or thin material. Our systems provide very small to very large gaskets with tight engineering tolerances, straight from a computer drawing. Or we can take a pattern and reverse engineer it. The close nesting ability also has the potential to save material cost.
We can cut gaskets for industrial, automotive (excluding head gaskets), or marine applications – all manufactured to order. We can cut gaskets from:
- Natural rubber insertion
- Neoprene insertion
- Natural black rubber
- Neoprene
- Black nitrile
- E.P.D.M
- White S.B.R.
- Bridge pad 620170 shore
- Butynol roofing
- Hard rubber
- Silicone
- Black viton
- Diaphram rubber
Gaskets can be produced from samples, drawings or templates. The data is then recorded for future.
Composites.
Waterjet cutting is the premier system for the cutting of composite materials, considered superior to handheld or CNC routers. It will not fracture the cut edge and leaves a clean surface, with no ‘hairy’ fibres showing.
Our two dimensional cutting table is ideally suited for:
- Precision profiling of parts from flat sheet
- ‘Drilling’ holes in flanges or similar parts
- Precise trimming of parts with a plane edge
- Cutting of cured Carbon Fibre and Kevlar
Our waterjet cutting machine can cut a wide range of materials including wood, glues, MDF and perforated materials.
CNC Machining.
Fabrum operates sophisticated automated CNC milling machines and lathes. The milling machines can cut a variety of materials into almost any shape.
We are able to take your unique design specifications and translate them into a DFX File using a wide selection of CNC tooling.
Fabrum’s team of lathe experts can also design and manufacture precision engineering components – we work diligently to make sure each job is done just right.
