Laser Cutting

Laser cutting tolerances are an important part of designing custom sheet metal parts. A drawing may look simple, but the final part accuracy depends on material type, thickness, kerf width, hole size, heat input, machine condition, and how the part will be bent, welded, or assembled after cutting. Understanding these factors helps engineers design parts

What is laser cutting? Laser cutting is a CNC-controlled process that uses a focused, high-power laser beam to cut sheet metal, tube, and plate with clean edges and accurate dimensions. The laser melts, burns, or vaporizes material along a programmed path, so custom shapes can be produced without physical tooling. This guide explains what laser
