There are many different options to consider in the forming of parts for all types of applications. When working with sheet metals and alloys, one of the fastest and most precise methods to use is laser metal cutting.
A top laser metal cutting service can provide simple to highly complex parts with a short turnaround time and cut to exact specifications. The use of CNC laser cutting equipment also provides several benefits to make this state-of-the-art technology a cost-effective choice.
Speed of Production
With an experienced laser metal cutting service , all aspects of the process are very fast. This includes the speed of setting up the equipment and the ability to immediately begin production without the long gaps used in other types of production methods.
The speed of setup and production also means the service is able to quickly scale up or scale down to meet changing order requirements and market demand. This is essential for small to large Original Equipment Manufacturers where there can be a dramatic change in order requirements.
Waste Reduction and Cost Savings
One of the benefits of using a laser metal cutting service is the cost savings through waste reduction as well as processing speeds. Parts can be designed to minimize any waste through nesting smaller parts within larger parts. With multiple parts, quickly and easily cut on the same equipment in the same operating time, the cost per unit of production goes down.
The smooth, even and precise edges of the laser cut also mean no finishing or clean-up processes are required on the cut part or component. Saving additional grinding and deburring steps means less cost per unit produced as well as a lower turnaround time for production.
Experience, state-of-the-art equipment and expertise in setting up the process will be important. Look for companies offering laser metal cutting with experience in the industry and a solid reputation for quality and on-time delivery of orders.
