Precision Laser Cutting

Laser cutting is a thermal cutting process for panels and bodies made of a wide variety of materials. Even complicated 3F geometries and contours can be produced precisely and quickly with laser cutting. Laser cutting differs from conventional processes such as punching in that small series and individual parts can be produced economically and cost-effectively when the right industrial laser cutting technologies are used.
CAD/CAM systems support specifications for the cross section, thus allowing high material utilization in precision laser cutting. The high accuracy of the cut is another advantage of laser cutting over other cutting processes and systems. With the selection of a suitable laser, everything from a joint of a few micrometers on medical components to a clean cut in thick sheet steel can be realized. This makes it possible to use laser cut service in a large number of different manufacturing applications and for many different customized products and objects.
As working with laser cutting is contact-free and force-free, any thermal stress is caused only by the laser energy. As a rule, the cut edges created are clean and require no finishing when precision laser cutting is used for professional applications.
