Laser Cutting - Federal Metal Works

1. Laser Cutting Laser Cutting Laser Cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically used for industrial manufacturing applications. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The laser optics and CNC (computer numerical control) are used to direct the material or the laser beam generated. Laser cutting produces part shapes by cutting sheet material using an intense laser beam. This cutting method uses a beam of high- density light energy focused through a tiny hole in a nozzle.

2. Design Considerations: Sharp inside corners of the part may have a slight rounding due to beam radius of approximately 0.02 –0.04". Edge burrs are usually minimal and debarring of edges is usually not necessary. Thin flimsy structures, such as shapes where a high percent of material is removed and long slots may experience some warping.

3. The Advantages of Laser Cutting: The process offers low cost for prototype and short runs since no physical tooling are needed. Heat distortion is minimal and typically limited to about 10% of material thickness. Cut parts generally remain flat. Lasers leave minimal burrs. The laser creates a beam of light that is used to cut through the material, so there is no part of the laser system in contact with the material.
