How it works...
Material We Process
-
Mild Steel
We can currently cut mild steel from .95mm to 12mm, with thicker capabilities coming soon!
-
Aluminium 5052
We offer 5052 grade aluminium as it allows welding and bending, we currently cut up to 5mm aluminium.
-
Stainless 304
We currently cut and ship 304 grade stainless steel up to a maximum thickness of 5mm!
Surface Finishes
Mild Steel
Mild steel is lightly DA sanded to remove any small edge remnants from the cutting process, due to the nature of mild steel, you cant really tell its been surface finished.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is DA sanded prior to shipping to give the surface a uniform appearance and remove any edge remnants.
Aluminium
Aluminium is given a DA sand to remove any large burrs, some attention may need to be given to end finish the part depending on end application.
Part Design Tips!
When designing parts for laser cutting, it's crucial to adhere to specific size guidelines to ensure structural integrity and readability. Avoid using holes that are smaller than the thickness of the material or smaller than 3mm. For lettering, make sure the height exceeds 12mm, with at least 2mm of spacing between letters; more spacing is preferable to enhance legibility. Additionally, any bridges added to prevent the centers of letters from falling out should be a minimum of 1.5mm wide to ensure they remain intact during cutting.
When incorporating holes, position them at least a few millimeters from the edge, ensuring there is a boundary of at least 3mm around each hole. Avoid placing holes within 12-15mm of a bend, as this can lead to distortion when the material is folded. For optimal results, it's advantageous to add material wherever possible, as this reduces the risk of heat distortion during the cutting process and enhances the overall durability of the finished part. By following these guidelines, you can create designs that are not only visually appealing but also practical and functional.
