What is laser cutting?Laser cutting uses a resonator to create a
beam of light The light is transmitted through a series of
mirrors to a cutting headIt then goes through a lens that focuses
the laser beam through a diameter of roughly .015”
This is what is used to cut through the material of choice
What type of material?Generally laser cutting is best for thin
material ◦This includes:
◦Carbon Steel ◦Stainless Steel◦Thin Aluminum
We cut up to 1” thick…◦Aluminum up to 1/8”◦Carbon Steel up to 1”◦Stainless Steel up to 5/8”
Common ApplicationsLaser cutting is most often seen in
industries that demand a lot of thin metal parts
This includes: ◦Automotive◦Architectural◦Retail Displays◦Art and Structural◦Medical
Why use laser cutting?Laser cutting generally has:
◦Shorter lead times than waterjet◦Less consumable costs ◦No tooling overhead expenses◦Very tight tolerances (±.0012) for cutting
intricate details◦Lights-out capability
