December 29, 2022

As we welcome the year 2023, we’d like to highlight what custom metal cutting can do to enhance your business’s manufacturing needs. If you know what you want to accomplish but bringing your design to fruition is stalled due to a lack of equipment, time, or workforce, consider outsourcing to Steelway Laser Cutting.   

The manufacturing industry is massive, but not everyone can produce high-quality products that need metal cutting services. At Steelway Laser Cutting, our specialized facility is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery capable of cutting, bending, welding, and packaging the metal of your choice with optimal speed and accuracy. Foundational to our success, our team includes two certified laser operators that work with cutting-edge technology to support every aspect of the metal manufacturing process.  

Steelway Laser Cutting Partnered with The Bio Soil Company  

During the past year, Steelway Laser Cutting has had an exciting opportunity to work with  The Bio Soil Company. They are known for developing biologically optimized living soil and products. The Bio Soil Company is dedicated to working harmoniously with nature. Their business is built on the philosophy that building, maintaining, and nurturing a healthy soil ecosystem facilitates the ideal growing environment.   

The Bio Soil Company Products:  

  • Soil– all biologically organic  
  • Terra Half-Life a world-class and multi-purpose firepit  
  • Coop 8– top-rated chicken coops  

Steelway Laser Cutting is proud to have partnered with The Bio Soil Company to manufacture one of their greatest designs, the Terra Half-Life. This multi-purpose firepit was invented and engineered by Bob Wells. He spent several years refining his design before The Bio Soil Company was able to help bring the design to completion by partnering with Steelway Laser Cutting for precision laser cutting manufacturing. Using 100% hand-made American heavy-duty stainless steel, the Terra Half-Life launched at the 2022 National Biochar Convention.

The Terra Half-Life is multi-functional, serving three different purposes:  

Charcoal machine  

  • Produce sustainable, high-quality, and locally sourced charcoal for soil, biochar, lump charcoal, or as a heat source.  

Smokeless fire pit  

  • Use with or without the chimney accessory and fine tune the primary air intake for two different smokeless fire experiences.  

  Multi-purpose grill  

  • Personalize your cooking experience by using cast iron, choosing various fuels, adjusting height preferences, and controlling heat with air intake.   

Steelway Laser Cutting and the Terra Half-Life   

Those familiar with pyrolysis, combustion without oxygen, know that fire exposed to oxygen will eventually degrade the carbon and convert it to ash. Terra Half-Life was specifically designed to create an environment ideal for pyrolysis.   

This is achieved by closing off the primary air intake at the bottom of the container, preventing oxygen from entering and degrading the interior environment.   

Metal manufacturing of this caliber requires precise cuts and finishes, optimally achieved with laser cutting. This is what Steelway Laser Cutting provided, supplemental laser cutting services to help fill the gaps, from design to delivery.

We use CNC laser cutting to work with copper, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, and regular hot rod steel. To seal the deal, we can produce high-volume orders of 1000+ units per project without sacrificing time or quality.   

Achieve your goals in the new year and see your metal manufacturing designs come to life with the help of Steelway Laser Cutting.   

Benefits of Metal Laser Cutting  

Accuracy and Precision  

Laser-cutting technology allows the production of parts and products with tight tolerances. This accuracy can be repeated from part to part and batch to batch without variation. This means complex and intricate designs can be manufactured successfully in high volume.  

Edge Quality  

Heat can leave deformities when cutting metals with traditional methods, but laser cutting produces a fine, smooth edge free from burrs.  

Less Material Contamination  

The laser does not directly contact the metal with a CNC laser cutter to produce the cut. This results in a fine cut with smooth and clean finishes. Therefore, without any contamination, you also reduce waste during production.  

Speed and Efficiency  

Depending on the design and material, a single laser cutter can work at speeds of 20 to 70 inches per minute. In addition to quick cutting times, laser cutters are extremely efficient and can cut multiple parts simultaneously.  

Lower Costs  

Labor costs are significantly less than traditional metal-cutting methods because laser equipment is automated and less prone to wear and tear. This makes replacement tooling and equipment costs low.   

Additionally, CNC laser cutters run off computerized input entered by an operator, guaranteeing the equipment can run continuously and efficiently without operator oversight.  

Versatility  

The laser cutting process enables you to cut delicate designs on different metal types and thicknesses. Additionally, they can even cut through different materials at once.  

Variety of Applications  

Due to its versatility, high processing speeds, and precision, laser cutting can be used across many manufacturing industries.   

  • Aerospace  
  • Medical   
  • Automotive  
  • Construction  
  • Marine
