Watch OSH Cut’s shop floor in action and you might think you’re witnessing a typical precision sheet metal fabrication startup. The company launched in 2018 with one fiber laser. It now has two lasers, one press brake, and 14 employees nothing out of the ordinary there.
Look a bit closer, though, and you’ll find some oddities. First, you won’t see anyone in an office creating or cleaning up 3D CAD files. Where are the sales and estimating teams? Where are the engineers cleaning up customer files? Who’s processing the orders? Who’s scheduling the shop? No one. It’s all automated, handled by software designed and written by the company’s co-founders.
