Overview

Brass Cut and Formed With Precision

Brass is chosen for how it looks and how it behaves: a warm gold color, good corrosion resistance, easy forming, and enough conductivity for electrical hardware. Like copper, it is reflective, so it needs a fiber laser to cut well. MJM runs four Amada fiber lasers that handle it routinely.

We fabricate brass under our AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001:2015 quality system, from a single prototype or art piece to production quantities. See all materials we process.

Material

Brass We Work With

Form	Detail
Brass sheet	Thin gauge through heavier sheet for panels, plates, trim, nameplates and formed parts.
Brass plate	Up to 3/8 in. (0.375 in.) laser capacity for plaques, bases and heavier components.
Alloy and temper	Send the alloy and temper on your drawing. If you only know the application, tell us and we will recommend a sheet alloy that cuts and forms well for it.

Material is purchased with mill certifications. Brass is priced at the current market, so quotes are tied to material cost at the time of order.

Processes

How We Fabricate Brass

Fiber Laser Cutting

Amada Ventis 4 kW and Ensis 3 kW fiber lasers on 5 x 10 ft tables with nitrogen assist. Fine detail, lettering and intricate patterns, held to ±0.005 in.

CNC Punching

Hole patterns, perforations and formed features on the Amada AE 2610NT turret punch. CNC punching.

Forming and Rolling

Nine Amada press brakes and three plate rollers for bends, channels and curved panels. Forming.

Machining

Tapped holes, countersinks and milled features on the Mazak machining center. CNC machining.

Surface and Finish

Wet deburring, grained or brushed surfaces, and plating or coating as the drawing requires. Cosmetic faces are protected through every step.

Marking

Laser etched logos, text, serial numbers and graphics.

What We Build

Brass Parts We Make

Decorative and architectural: panels, screens, trim, inlays, signage and plaques. See architectural fabrication.
Nameplates and tags with laser cut or etched lettering.
Electrical hardware: terminals, contacts, straps and grounding parts.
Marine and instrument parts where corrosion resistance and appearance both matter. See marine fabrication.
Lighting components: fixture parts, reflectors and trim. See lighting fabrication.
Art and custom pieces cut from your vector artwork.

Design Notes

Design Tips for Brass Parts

Say which face is cosmetic and the grain or brush direction. Brass shows every scratch and fingerprint.
Decide on the final look. Bare brass tarnishes over time; if it must stay bright, call out a protective coating.
Keep fine detail in proportion. As a rule, the narrowest web or slot should be about the material thickness or more.
Send vector files (DXF or STEP) for artwork and lettering, not images.

Where MJM Is Not the Right Fit

We work in brass sheet and plate up to 3/8 in. We are not a foundry, we do not do high-volume screw-machine parts from brass bar, and we are not a polishing shop for mirror-finished brass.

We are the right shop for flat and formed brass parts that need accurate cutting, clean edges and careful handling.

FAQ

Brass Fabrication Questions

Does MJM fabricate brass?

Yes. MJM Manufacturing laser cuts, punches and forms brass sheet and plate at its Miami Gardens, Florida facility.

How thick can MJM laser cut brass?

Up to 3/8 in. (0.375 in.) on Amada fiber lasers, at a typical tolerance of ±0.005 in.

Can brass be laser cut?

Yes, with a fiber laser. Brass is reflective and cuts poorly on CO2 lasers, but fiber lasers cut it cleanly with fine detail.

Can MJM cut decorative brass panels or lettering from my artwork?

Yes. Send vector files such as DXF and MJM will laser cut panels, screens, plaques, nameplates and lettering from brass sheet or plate.

What files are needed for a brass fabrication quote?

A DXF or STEP file and a PDF drawing with alloy, thickness, finish and quantity. Quotes are returned in 24 to 48 hours from sales@mjmmfg.com.

Is there a minimum order for brass parts?

No. MJM builds one-off pieces, prototypes and production quantities.

Copper Fabrication: C110, C101 and C122 busbars, contacts and heat sinks.
Beryllium Copper Fabrication: C17200, C17510 and C17000 with controlled handling.
Stainless Steel Fabrication: 304 and 316 cut, formed, welded and finished.
Aluminum Fabrication: 5052 and 6061 cut, formed, welded and finished.
Laser Cutting Services: five Amada lasers, mild steel to 1 in., stainless and aluminum to 5/8 in.
Custom Metal Fabrication: the full shop under one roof.
Sheet Metal Materials: every metal and gauge we process.

Working with MJM Manufacturing has been one of the best vendor experiences I've had. The parts matched my samples perfectly, and even the packing was done with real care — clean, organized, and professional. Of all the vendors I've worked with, they're by far the most organized and quality-focused. Great communication from start to finish. Highly recommend them for custom fabrication work.

Robert Cooler

MJM is wonderful to deal with. They have worked diligently and have produced my projects thus far to the highest standards.

Israel Schechter

I have been ordering parts from MJM Manufacturing for many years, and they have consistently exceeded my expectations. Their quality, professionalism, and attention to detail are outstanding. Every order is handled efficiently, delivered on time, and manufactured to the highest standards. The team at MJM is knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. It is rare to find a company that maintains such a high level of consistency over many years. I highly recommend MJM Manufacturing to anyone looking for a reliable partner for complex, precision sheet metal parts and assemblies. I.

As a customer, I have been working with MJM Manufacturing for approximately 35 years. The expertise of Mike Mijares and his team at MJM is top notch. Whenever I have a new part design, I typically review the design of the part with MJM to ensure that I am using the most cost-efficient manufacturing process to produce the parts as economically as possible. There was a part that we had made years ago using a progressive die to emboss a curved channel into a sheet metal part. The cost of the progressive die for this part was $55K. The redesign of the part from MJM consisted of $1200 in tooling to make the new part profile. Parts came out great and saved tens of thousands in tooling. Lastly, whether MJM produces a prototype or a production run, the appearance of the part is pristine, no tool marks or scratches on any part. In the 35 years that I have worked with Mike and his team, I have found them to be one big family. Mike’s love for his business is refreshing! You rarely see a person that is so charged to get up for work every day! Richard Havass Mechanical Engineering Manager JCI-Sensormatic
