Yes, but in most cases you'd be looking at industrial-scale machines. Better find a smaller local shop and send them a .dxf, they'll have better access to raw material anyways. Buying sheet metal in small quantities is expensive and a pain.
Small laser cutters are really fun though. Other interesting materials (besides wood) that can be laser cut with good results are acrylic and delrin. Delrin has great mechanical properties but can't really be glued effectively. Acrylic cracks easily but has the advantage of being easily "welded" with some solvents (acetone can work in a pinch but isn't the best, dichloromethane is great but requires most safety precautions).
