Benefits
There are many reasons why laser cutting is beneficial to modern businesses today:
- Components are produced quickly and accurately.
- Raw material costs are minimised with sophisticated nesting software used pre-cutting.
- Almost any design that can be drawn can be laser cut giving greater design flexibility.
- Design changes can be made at any stage of the product lifecycle without incurring costly tooling charges.
- Minimal heat distortion to component and burr free cutting means less reworking post cutting.
- Modern laser cutting uses CNC controls to simulate cutting paths and nesting options. This allows customers to laser cut different parts from the same sheet of material. This is especially useful for laser cutting kits of parts.
- Cutting of holes, slots and profiles can be carried out in a single setup without the need for complicated jigs or fixtures.
