Our Capabilities

Design & CAD

No drawings? No problem. Send us your sketches or concepts and our experienced team can create production-ready models and drawings.

We optimize components using Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to reduce material waste and decrease production costs.

CAD Software Solid Edge
2D Formats Accepted DXF, DWG, PDF
3D Formats Accepted STEP, X_T, SLDPRT

Laser Cutting

Our laser cutting operation is recognised as one of the best in New Zealand, producing parts with exceptional edge quality, repeatability, and precision.

We have invested in world-class flatbed laser machinery with rigorous preventative maintenance systems to ensure consistent precision tolerances of ±0.2mm. Sourcing your laser-cut parts from ES3 means competitive pricing, zero bottlenecks, and components delivered on time.

Tube Laser Cutting

ES3 are proud to be pioneers of tube laser cutting in New Zealand and have decades of experience with this technology.

Tube laser cutting replaces conventional sawing, drilling, and milling with much more cost-effective laser cutting. It enables poka-yoke interlocking tabs and self-locating joints which can dramatically accelerate welding/assembly and eliminate costly jigging.

CNC Sheet Metal Folding

We are equipped with advanced CNC press brakes and comprehensive offline simulation software to ensure accurate bends, tight tolerances, and collision-free forming.

Our LVD EasyForm press brake programming allows offline 3D bend simulations before profiles are cut. With an extensive range of specialised radius tooling, we handle both delicate architectural trims and heavy structural brackets.

Fabrication & Sub-Assembly

Full-service contract fabrication for one-off bespoke assemblies and high-volume repeatable production runs.

Our fabrication bay features manual and robot welding (MIG & TIG), drilling, tapping, countersinking, rivets, rivnuts, and clinch nuts. We can supply completed components or subassemblies directly into your supply chain.

Steel Frame Welding

Surface Finishing & Protective Coatings

Deliver long-lasting, weather-resistant, visually striking products ready for immediate end-use.

We can manage the entire finishing process through trusted tier-one coating partners, including powder coating, hot-dip galvanising, zinc plating, and more.
