Cut tube like it's sheet metal.

A 6 kW fiber laser that spins tube, pipe, angle and channel in its chucks and cuts every hole, slot, cope and notch in one pass. No saw, no drill press, no layout. Parts come off ready to weld.

Full project help, start to finish.

Most shops wait for a perfect drawing. We help you get there: engineering, R&D, finding the materials nobody else can, and running the whole job so you deal with one team.

Engineering + design

DFM, CAD and reverse engineering. We fix the drawing before it costs you, or draw it from a sketch or the old part.

R&D + prototypes

Test fits, 3D prints and first articles, iterated in days, not weeks, until it works on your bench.

Sourcing the hard-to-find

Odd alloys, obsolete parts and specialty processes. Our supplier network and U-Fab find what others can't.

Project management

One contact from idea to delivered part: schedule, vendors, finishing, inspection and shipping handled.

1983to today

The spark is in the name.

Our family built EDM spark-erosion machines under the Pishtazan name from 1983. Spark Laser followed in Richmond in 2014, and in 2020 Yousef and Jeremy Malins founded Spark Fabrication beside it. Three generations of making things that make things, now proudly Canadian.

Our platform · the network for everything else

Need a process we don't have in-house? We built a platform for that.

U-Fabrication is our Canadian manufacturing marketplace: post a project once and vetted Canadian shops quote it, from casting and plating to volume production. Made in Canada, start to finish.
