How Laser Cutting Works

Custom Metal Sheet Laser Cutting: What You Need to Know Before Ordering

Laser cutting is a method that uses a focused light beam to cut metal sheets with high precision. The laser’s energy melts or vaporizes the material along a set path, creating clean, smooth edges. A computer-controlled system moves the beam based on your CAD file, enabling the accurate production of even complex shapes, fine holes, and sharp corners.

Large-Scale Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Services

Large-format laser cutting utilizes machines specifically designed to handle huge metal sheets. Most models can process sheet sizes up to 3000mm × 1500mm, while advanced models can reach sizes of 6000mm × 2500mm or larger. These systems utilize high-power lasers, typically ranging from 6kW to 20kW, to cut through thick materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.

how deep can laser engraving go

Deep Laser Engraving: Techniques, Materials, and Applications

Deep laser engraving is a process where a focused laser beam removes layers of material to create a mark below the surface. The laser generates heat, vaporizing the material and cutting deeper with each pass. Depending on the material and settings, the engraving can range from a few microns to several millimeters deep.

3D Laser Cutting Process

3D Laser Cutting: Principles, Process, and Applications

3D laser cutting is a method that uses a focused laser beam to cut, trim, or shape metal parts in three dimensions. Unlike flat laser cutting, which works only on sheet materials, 3D laser cutting can handle curved surfaces, tubes, formed parts, and welded assemblies. The laser beam targets a small spot, producing heat that melts or vaporizes the material. A stream of gas then blows away the molten metal, leaving a smooth and precise edge.

How to Master Laser Cutting Design for Sheet Metal Parts?

The best way to design sheet metal parts for laser cutting is to keep shapes simple, add proper spacing between features, and match thickness to the design needs. Corners should have radii instead of sharp edges. Holes should be large enough to cut cleanly. Designs should also consider how the part will be bent or welded later.

Laser Cutting Parameters: A Comprehensive Guide

Laser cutting parameters are the adjustable settings on a laser machine. These include laser power, cutting speed, focus position, assist gas type, gas pressure, and nozzle distance. Each affects how the laser melts, burns, or vaporizes the material. The correct settings depend on the material type, thickness, and the desired edge quality.

nitrogen generator for laser cutting

Nitrogen Laser Cutting: How It Works and Where It Fits

Nitrogen laser cutting uses high-pressure nitrogen gas to blow away molten material while preventing oxidation. This results in smooth, burr-free edges with no discoloration. It’s ideal for cutting stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals where appearance and precision matter. Unlike oxygen-assisted cuts, it produces cleaner finishes and helps prevent the need for secondary treatments.

what materials can be laser cut

Laser Cutting Materials: What You Can Cut and What to Avoid

Most metals, plastics, wood, and paper-based products can be laser cut. However, some materials like PVC, polycarbonate, or reflective metals should be avoided. These can damage the machine or release harmful gases. Choosing the right material depends on your part’s function, thickness, and edge quality needs.

What Is CNC Laser Cutting? Process, Benefits, and Applications

CNC laser cutting is a process that uses a focused laser beam to cut materials. The term “CNC” stands for computer numerical control. That means the cutting path is controlled by software.

The laser moves based on instructions from a digital design file. It cuts through the material with heat. This process is clean, quick, and ideal for complex shapes or fine details.
