Benefits of Laser Cutting?

Laser Cutting Sheet Metal

Laser cutting has been used since the 1970s. Initially it was used for sign-making, mainly to laser cut acrylic. Since then laser cutting has been adopted and adapted by virtually every industry and is now a significant part of the manufacturing process.

Our sheet metal laser cutting machinery delivers a range of benefits:

  • Compared to punching it gives a superior edge finish that requires no de-burring or finishing
  • Lasers can cut complex shapes without the need for tooling
  • Speed is comparable or faster than other profile cutting methods
  • Localised heat distortion is reduced
  • A polished edge finish can be achieved on stainless steel using a nitrogen assist gas

Why is laser cutting so popular for cutting sheet metal?

  • Achieves a far more accurate cut part
  • Easy to repeat and deliver outstanding consistency
  • Achieves exceptional levels of detailing
  • Can process a wide range of materials
  • Fast and efficient
  • Cost-effective
  • Ease of changing parts (particularly when compared to hard tooling, etc)
  • The lack of physical contact during the process
  • Small heat affected zone
