Computer controlled laser cutting is a fast, accurate and precisely repeatable method of creating components of all shapes and sizes in small, medium or large batches from flat sheets.
Being a low heat, non-contact cutting method distortion is minimal therefore lending itself to the processing of thin materials.
Cut widths of 0.2mm are typically achieved in 3mm stainless steel whilst width equal efficiency up to 20mm thick can be accurately cut. Tolerances range from +/-0.12mm to +/-0.4mm depending on thickness and type of material.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
- Can cut Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Zinc, Aluminium, MDF, Acrylics
- Minimal distortion - very accurate cutting of materials up to 20mm thick
- Maximum utilisation of sheet
- Clean burr free edges
- Multi-part nesting
- Cost effective
- Prototype to production quantities - highly complex to simple shapes
