Laser Cutting

Since 2022 we have been offering a highly competitively priced laser cutting service capable of cutting up to 20mm steel and brass sheet.

Our sheet metal laser cutting system uses a high-powered, computer-controlled laser beam to vaporize material with extreme precision, resulting in accurate cuts with clean edges. While fast and versatile, the method also has limitations, such as a high initial cost and thickness restrictions.

Benefits of sheet metal laser cutting

  • High precision and accuracy: The computer numerical control (CNC) programming of a laser cutter allows for repeatable accuracy, often within ±0.1 mm, which is ideal for intricate and complex designs.

Minimal Waste

  • Minimal material waste: The focused laser beam and narrow cut width (kerf) allow parts to be nested closely together on a single sheet, maximizing material utilization and reducing scrap.

Clean and Smooth Edges

  • Clean and smooth edges: The thermal cutting process leaves smooth, clean edges with minimal burring, which often eliminates the need for time-consuming secondary finishing processes.

Very High Speed

  • High speed: For thin to medium-thickness materials, laser cutting is significantly faster than traditional cutting methods, allowing for rapid production and shorter turnaround times.

No Tooling Costs

  • No tooling costs: Unlike punching or other mechanical methods, laser cutting does not require special and expensive dies or tooling. This makes it a cost-effective choice for small batch runs and custom designs.

Reduced Distortion

  • Reduced distortion: As a non-contact process, there is no mechanical force to warp or deform the sheet metal. The small heat-affected zone (HAZ) around the cut also minimizes thermal distortion.
