Laser Cutting and Engraving Services

The Altered State is a leading laser cutting and engraving company.

We utilise digital technology combined with woodworking and fabrication techniques to turn your idea in to a custom product or to personalise a product you already have. We design and make cool things or modify existing items to add value and desirability.

The range of services we offer include laser cutting, laser engraving and a CNC service. We combine these with traditional woodworking from our base in Angus near Dundee where we supply clients locally, nationally and internationally with high quality products, service and design.

For businesses, our focus is to reduce time-to-market, eliminate minimum orders, provide fast prototyping, scalable production, design and manufacturing.

For individuals, we can provide a one off service including design through to final product.
