What is Laser Cutting

Laser cutting allows metal manufacturers to create precision parts and components incredibly efficiently. It enables metals, usually too hard to cut by saws and traditional methods, to be precisely cut with very little waste.

What is CNC Laser Cutting?

CNC Laser Cutting, sometimes referred to as CNC Laser Engraving, is an advanced method of cutting and engraving materials that is steadily increasing in popularity. A CNC laser cutter allows for hyper-precise cuts in flat rigid materials like metals and plastics. This technology uses a computer-controlled process for metalworking where a laser is utilized, making it an ideal choice for tight tolerance applications and high precision cuts. With a qualified engineer and the right CNC equipment, laser cutting can help you achieve any shape or design you need to your custom specifications.

On what type of metal can a CNC Laser be used?

Many metals work well with laser cutting, including aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, brass, and copper. The type of material you choose will determine the precision, quality of your finished product, and how long it takes to complete. For example, aluminum is reasonably easy to cut and can be cut quickly, whereas brass is a much denser metal and will be more challenging to work with and take longer to finish.

What are the advantages of CNC Laser Cutting?

There are many advantages to using CNC laser cutting, including:

Speed

Precision lasers can apply continuous force, which means the laser will not slow down as it cuts through a material. With conventional cutting tools, you need to apply a high amount of pressure that can cause the machine to slow down as it cuts through the material. Laser cutting allows you to quickly and efficiently produce the parts you need.

Precision

With precision from Lasers, you get unmatched quality and accuracy that is hard to find in traditional methods.

Versatility

Because it can virtually achieve any shape or design, laser cutting is a versatile process, allowing it to be advantageous in a wide range of applications.

Cost-effective

CNC laser cutting can save you money by reducing the amount of waste material produced.

How Does CNC Laser Cutting Work?

CNC laser cutting works by focusing a high-powered laser beam onto the material you want to cut. The process begins by creating an AutoCAD file of the design or shape that needs to be cut and then inputting the instructions into the computer program for the machine. The high-powered laser beam then melts or vaporizes the material to create the desired shape or design.

What to Consider When Choosing a CNC Laser Cutting Service?

The accuracy and creativity of CNC metal laser cutting make it the ideal choice for countless manufacturing projects. However, its growing popularity doesn’t mean that all providers offer a high-quality service.
