There are a variety of processes that could be used to fabricate metal. The best process will differ depending on factors such as the type of metal used and the unique needs of the applications. On the other hand, laser cutting has a number of benefits that make it a popular fabrication technology in a variety of industries.

What is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is the process of cutting through metal materials using a focused, high-powered beam of light. It is a highly precise thermal process often recommended in applications requiring tight tolerances, precise cutouts, or steel bending. The cutting process is ideally suited for many applications.
A CNC laser cutter can cut through metals of all kinds. Laser cutting allows for a small kerf (the material width removed by a cutting process), producing no other damage to the material. Metal laser cutting is a popular fabrication process due to its many benefits.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
The advantage that laser cutting provides is that other traditional fabrication techniques have led it to become an essential fabrication method for many industries. This also includes metal bending companies. Laser cutting is ideal for tasks using a variety of metals because it provides unmatched precision and can handle even the most complicated designs. Laser cutting, in comparison to other metal fabrication techniques, minimizes lead times and waste materials. This method of operation can also handle large production numbers.
Additional Benefits of Laser Cutting
- Limited physical contact during the cutting process.
- Increased worker safety.
- Suitable for a broad range of types of metal.
- Significantly higher cutting precision within 1/1000 of an inch!
Industries that Benefit from Laser Cutting
Automotive
Automobiles are comprised of thousands of parts that must be exact and delivered with high-speed efficiency.Laser cutting machines produce these parts with minimal waste, maximizing materials, contributing to sustainable manufacturing.
Medical
Laser cutting has helped the medical equipment manufacturing industry in a great way. With the demand for smaller device components requiring finer cuts delivered with maximum precision, laser cutting is the method of choice among medical manufacturers.
Military
Laser cutting provides the accuracy and reliability necessary to meet the unique specifications and government regulations. This is required for a wide variety of components used throughout all branches of the military.
Agricultural
The agricultural industry relies heavily on laser cutting to produce components for many types of machinery. Equipment such as spreaders, chassis, grain movement components, and tractors are all fabricated using laser-cut component parts.
Construction
Laser cutting is transforming the construction industry. Due to its production speed and efficiency, the possibilities are endless and construction companies are increasingly choosing laser cutting fabrication to meet the demands of the industry.
Contract Manufacturing
Consider an inventor that has a design for a product but lacks the machinery to bring his design to life. The versatility of laser cutting is essential in quickly producing prototype parts. It can produce products from many different materials in various shapes. Laser cutting is a must-have for the contract manufacturing industry.
