Case Studies
The University of Manchester School of Engineering
HPC Laser worked closely with Manchester University to specify, configure, build, deliver and install a LS1390 machine (1300 x 900mm bed) together with a 3kW IPG laser source and fully specified safety enclosure in order to demonstrate and teach students about medium power fibre laser cutting of a wide range of materials.
Access to the installation location was difficult so HPC Laser produced a bespoke design with separate electrical distribution cabinet.
The machine assembly was stripped down for delivery and reassembled in the basement room where it needed to be located.

Mosevic Eyewear
Mosevic Eyewear, a unique and pioneering brand known for its handcrafted denim sunglasses, began facing production delays due to outsourcing key processes like cutting and engraving.
With the introduction of HPC Laser’s LS3060 Pro laser cutter, they brought these tasks in-house: reducing lead times, cutting costs, and gaining the creative flexibilty that makes their brand stand out. This case study explores how HPC and their LS3060 helped Mosevic improve efficiency, precision, product quality, and content creation.
Mosevic Eyewear was founded by Jack over a decade ago in Cornwall, UK. The company designs and creates sunglasses from resin-infused denim. Initially an experimental project, Jack began playing around with durable but lightweight materials when he was working on creating his own kiteboard.
This led him to explore the idea of infusing fabrics like denim with resin. Today, Mosevic has grown into a successful business that ships globally and captivates a large audience of over 200,000 followers online.

Fracino Espresso Machines
Fracino is a renowned British manufacturer of commercial and domestic espresso machines, with over 60 years of experience in the industry.
Recognised as a brand leader with a flair for innovation, they export their products to over 70 countries across five continents. All Fracino machines are manufactured in their Birmingham facility, where the entire production process is managed in-house. This includes design, sheet metal fabrication (laser cutting, bending, and welding), CNC machining, and production testing.
In their efforts to develop a new range of high-end domestic machines, Fracino aimed to introduce manufacturing processes and finishes not typically associated with their machines, such as wooden inlays in side panels. To achieve this, they sought advanced equipment capable of delivering high precision and versatility.

Creative Media Skills Institute at Pinewood Studios
HPC Laser collaborated with Adam Rose, Lead Tutor of the Art Department at the Creative Media Skills Institute, when he got in contact with a requirement for a laser machine that would be suitable to produce feature film quality props and models.
The institute offer specialist training for film and TV production students, and a CO2 laser cutting and engraving machine was sought to assist with prop making, miniature models, and set design.
The machine supplied was an LS6090, which is ideal for cutting and engraving a wide range of materials such as wood, plastics, leather, fabrics, rubber, paper and card, all of which are used by the students when making the component parts for their models and props.
It was essential we introduced laser cutting technology at the CMS Institute as it gives the accuracy and precision that sometimes human hands can’t. It was HPC Lasers strong name and good reputation for high quality machines that lead me to reach out to them.”

Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust
HPC Laser visited Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation trust for the annual service of their LS6090 CO2 Laser Cutter.
Channelling the combination of creativity and technology to fundraise for the ongoing renovation and preservation of history, Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust do great work with their laser machine: volunteers Robin Linkens and Neil Clarke use the LS6090 to create branded items out of wood, MDF, acrylic, and slate, which are up for sale in their gift shop. Read the full blog post here.
The proceeds of which contribute to the ongoing preservation and renovation of the almost 300-year-old stately home and its grounds. The LS6090 is compact enough for their smaller workshop, but their 60W laser tube is powerful enough to cut and engrave the materials they use in their creations.
The machine is well taken care of by the volunteers, and is still in very good condition after six years of frequent use.
