Our Laser Cutting Process
The process begins with creating a detailed digital design using CAD software. This design is the blueprint for the laser cutting operation, ensuring precise dimensions and shapes.Â
The appropriate material is chosen based on the project requirements. Common materials include metals, plastics, and wood, each selected for its specific properties and intended application.Â
The laser cutting machine is set up with the selected material. Technicians calibrate the laser's power, speed, and focus settings to match the material type and thickness, ensuring optimal cutting performance.Â
The machine follows the digital design to cut through the material. The laser melts, burns, or vaporizes the material, creating precise cuts and clean edges.Â
Once the cutting is complete, each piece undergoes a quality inspection. This step checks for dimensions and surface finish accuracy.Â
Finally, any necessary finishing processes, such as deburring or engraving, are applied to enhance the product's quality and aesthetics.Â
Laser Cutting Materials
Laser cutting accommodates various materials, ensuring precision and quality across various applications. Working with different substrates allows for tailored solutions that meet specific project requirements.Â
Available in hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and galvanized forms, mild steel is known for its excellent weldability and machinability. This makes it suitable for structural components and fabrication.
This metal comes in several grades, such as 304, 316, and 430. They offer varying corrosion resistance and strength levels, perfect for food processing, marine environments, and medical device applications.Â
Commonly found in alloys like 6061 and 7075, aluminum is lightweight and versatile. It allows for intricate designs while maintaining strength and rigidity, ideal for aerospace and automotive applications.Â

The industry primarily uses CO2 and fiber laser cutting methods. CO2 lasers are ideal for cutting non-metal materials like wood and acrylic, while fiber lasers excel at cutting metals due to their shorter wavelength and higher power density.Â
The thickness of the material directly impacts cutting speed and quality. Thicker materials may require more powerful lasers and slower speeds to ensure clean cuts and avoid excessive heat, which can lead to warping or burning.Â
Laser cutting speed affects edge quality and kerf width. Faster speeds can lead to rougher edges and heat-affected zones, while slower speeds provide cleaner cuts and finer details, ensuring that the final product meets specifications.Â
Laser settings, including power, speed, and frequency, are adjusted based on the material type and thickness. Each material has optimal settings to achieve the best cut quality, minimize waste, and avoid damaging the part.Â
The focal point is where the laser beam converges and produces the highest intensity. Properly setting the focal point is crucial for achieving optimal cut quality and efficiency, as it affects the depth of the cut and the width of the kerf.Â
