What is sheet metal laser cutting?
Sheet metal laser cutting is a highly precise manufacturing process that utilizes a focused laser beam to accurately cut through thin sheet metal materials, such as steel and aluminum. It employs computer control to follow design specifications, resulting in clean and intricate cuts with minimal heat-affected zones. It offers advantages like high precision, speed, design flexibility, and minimal material waste, making it ideal for various industries, from aerospace to automotive, for both prototyping and large-scale production of intricate metal parts.

Sheet Metal Laser Cutting FAQs
Laser cutting offers several benefits for many industries, ranging from precision, speed, repeatability, and flexibility.Some of the key benefits include:
– No need for tooling or dies – just program and produce
– Narrower kerf widths because of highly focused beam
– Less material distortion and a reduction in the heat affected zone as the machine is controlled using complex software to optimize part path, machine speed and sheet metal utilization
– Higher cutting precision and high levels of repeatability
– Less material contamination due to absence of cutting edge
– Little secondary finishing required as cuts and edges are of high quality
– Less material wastage thanks to superior sheet utilization
