Laser Cutting
Laser cutters produce metal parts from sheet material using a laser beam to vaporize sections of the work piece.
AW Metals offers a cost-effective cutting solution whether you need a single part, batch of prototypes, or a production order.
Advantages
- Can produce parts of almost any 2D shape
- More precise and economical than plasma cutting
- Fast turn time
- Can be used to etch instead of cut
Design Considerations
- Sharp inside corners may be slightly rounded due to beam radius
- Edges will be heat affected
- Edges may have some draft
- Minimal kerf width
- Keep hole diameters equal to or larger than the material thickness
