From a Garage
to 16,000 Sq Ft

We started with a homemade plasma table in a two car garage. Today we run a 12kW fiber laser, a tube laser, and a full fabrication shop. Built by a husband and wife team that knows manufacturing from the inside out.

Built From Scratch

Accuracy Laser and Fabrication started in 2018 as Force Designs LLC, a side project in a two car garage with a homemade 4x4 CNC plasma table. The early work was signs, fire pits, and whatever came through the door. But the demand was there, and the jobs got bigger fast.

What followed was a series of calculated bets. A move into a commercial shop. A small 2kW fiber laser. Then a 140-ton press brake. Then a 12kW fiber laser that changed everything. Each investment was driven by real customer demand, not speculation.

In 2023, the business was renamed Accuracy Laser and Fabrication to reflect what it had actually become: a precision manufacturing operation, not a sign shop. In 2024, we moved into our current 16,000 sq ft facility on Dixie Highway in Bedford. Nearly four times the size of the previous space.

Seven Years of Building

2018
Force Designs LLC Founded
Started with a homemade CNC plasma table in a two-car garage. Signs, fire pits, and custom metalwork for anyone who asked.
2020
First Commercial Shop
Moved into a 4,500 sq ft dedicated facility. Transitioned from signs to manufacturing as a job shop. Added welding and powder coating.
2021
Laser & Press Brake
Installed a 2kW fiber laser and 140-ton 4-axis servo press brake. Opened the door to precision sheet metal work and more complex jobs.
2022
12kW Fiber Laser
Upgraded to a 12kW fiber laser with Max Photonics source. Dramatically expanded cutting capacity, speed, and thickness range.
2023
Rebranded to Accuracy Laser
Renamed from Force Designs to Accuracy Laser and Fabrication, reflecting the evolution from a small shop to a precision manufacturing operation.
2024
16,000 Sq Ft Facility
Moved to 2120 Dixie Highway in Bedford, IN. Nearly 4× the previous space with improved trucking access and room to add equipment.
2025
Tube Laser & Expansion
Added a Bodor M3 tube laser with bevel head capability. Expanding services into tube/structural cutting and continuing to invest in capacity.

Purpose Built for Production

Our facility at 2120 Dixie Highway in Bedford, Indiana is built for real manufacturing work. 16,000 square feet with 18-foot ceilings, industrial electrical service, and direct trucking access for shipping and receiving.

This isn't a shared maker space or a converted storage unit. It's a dedicated fabrication shop set up to handle production runs from prototype quantities through ongoing production orders.

What We're About

The principles that guide how we run this shop and treat the people we work with.

Say What We'll Do, Do It

When we quote a price and a timeline, we hit it. No surprises. If something changes, we pick up the phone and tell you before it becomes your problem.

Talk to the People Doing the Work

You're not getting handed off to an account manager. The people quoting your job are the same people running the machines. Questions get answered fast because nobody's playing telephone.

Invest in Real Equipment

We put money into machines, not marketing. A 12kW fiber laser, a tube laser, a 140 ton press brake, and Miller welders. Real production equipment that delivers consistent results.
