At Boxford, we’re proud to help customers across education and industry enhance their production and design capabilities. From fibre laser cutters to CO₂ laser engravers and CNC machinery, our recent installations highlight how our machines are transforming workflows for manufacturers, schools, and universities alike.
Here’s a look at our latest installations and how each customer is putting their new Boxford equipment to work:
University of York, Yorkshire
Machines Installed: 2 × BGL690 80W CO₂ Laser Cutters
The University of York’s Department of Architecture recently invested in two Boxford BGL690 80W CO₂ laser cutters to enhance their architectural model-making facilities.
These machines deliver outstanding accuracy for both cutting and engraving, making them ideal for producing detailed models from materials such as MDF, acrylic, and plywood.
By equipping their students with the same professional-grade tools used by practicing architects and designers, the University of York ensures that graduates gain hands-on experience with industry-standard technology.
Magnum Car Panels, Rochdale
Machine Installed: BFL3015 3kW Fibre Laser Cutter
Magnum Car Panels are an independent manufacturer of classic car replacement body panels, renowned for their precision craftsmanship. To expand their sheet metal processing capabilities, they’ve invested in a Boxford BFL3015 3kW fibre laser featuring a 3000mm x 1500mm work area.
The pull-out machine bed enables easy handling of large material sheets, while the 3kW laser source provides clean, accurate cuts, perfect for thin to medium gauge materials such as Zintec.
During installation, our engineers worked closely with the Magnum team to develop cutting parameters for materials ranging from 0.8mm to 2.5mm, ensuring optimal performance from day one.
From delivery and installation to on-site training, Boxford ensures every customer is fully prepared for production.
Pure Freedom, Grimsby
Machine Installed: BFL2513 2kW Fibre Laser Cutter
Based in Grimsby, Pure Freedom design and manufacture professional window cleaning systems and equipment.
Looking to replace their plasma cutting setup, they chose the Boxford BFL2513 2kW fibre laser, a compact, fully enclosed system that delivers cleaner, faster, and more precise sheet metal cutting.
As fibre laser technology has become more affordable, businesses like Pure Freedom are increasingly turning to it as the preferred solution for reliable, efficient CNC metal cutting across all scales of production.
The Hemel Hempstead School, Hertfordshire
Machine Installed: BGL690 80W CO₂ Laser Cutter
With a proud history spanning nearly 90 years, The Hemel Hempstead School continues to invest in modern equipment to support its students’ creativity and technical skills.
Working closely with the school, Boxford specified a BGL690 80W CO₂ laser cutter, a model perfectly suited to both their requirements and available workspace.
The BGL690 is a popular choice across schools, colleges, and universities thanks to its compact footprint, 900mm x 600mm cutting bed, and powerful 80W laser tube.
Complete with an integrated chiller, air assist, artwork positioning camera, and LightBurn software as standard, the BGL690 offers one of the most comprehensive and cost-effective CO₂ laser packages on the market ideal for both educational and commercial environments.
