Fiber Laser Cutting
Fiber Laser Cutting
Fiber laser cutting is our go-to process for sheet metal. A beam generated by rare-earth-doped optical fibers is focused onto the sheet, melting it and then clearing the molten material with a jet of gas. The result: crisp contours, fine detail and reduced thermal distortion, all at high speed and with consistent part-to-part repeatability.
We use it to cut aluminum 5052 and aluminum 6061, mild steel, galvanized steel and galvanneal steel, stainless 304 and stainless 316, along with copper, brass and checker plate. Since the fiber laser only cuts metal, plastics, wood and rubbers go through our CO₂ laser cutting or CNC routing instead.
It's the natural choice for electronic enclosures, brackets, perforated sheet, jigs and any part meant to be bent or assembled afterward: tight tolerances make assembly easier. Take a look at our cutting tolerances guide to design your parts accordingly.
Ideal for aluminum, mild steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper and brass, across a wide range of thicknesses depending on the material.
