ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:
- Precision and accuracy: Laser cutting provides high precision and accuracy, making it suitable for intricate and detailed designs.
- Produces near net finishes parts to your print.
- Minimal-to-no clean up.
- Etching (not offered on red metals) and “stitch cutting” available production.
- Versatility: Laser cutting can be used on a wide range of materials, both metallic and non-metallic.
- Minimal material waste: The focused laser beam minimizes material waste as it cuts raw, narrow kerfs.
- Non-contact process: Laser cutting is a non-contact process, reducing the risk of material distortion or damage.
- Automation: Laser cutting machines can be integrated into automated systems for increased efficiency.
