Metal Laser Cutting Service

Laser cutting is a manufacturing process where a laser beam pierces raw sheet stock to produce flat geometries. A range of metals are available, which work well for components such as washers, mounts, brackets, and housings.

 

 

Laser cutting is commonly used for:

 

  • prototyping designs or testing product requirements
  • efficiencies of scale up to 50+ parts
  • parts with standard connectivity features (USB, HDMI, ethernet ports)

 

 

Our Laser Cutting Process

 

Our laser cutting service and capabilities are designed around reliably producing quality parts on time.

Online quoting
  • Upload your CAD file to receive an online quote
  • Configure materials, finishes, and additional options in myRapid

 

Expedited 1-day lead times
  • Parts can fabricated and shipped in as fast as 1 day
  • Standard 3-day lead times for quantities less than 50

 

Safe parts without sharp edges
  • Parts deburred and edge debris removed prior to shipping (included in the price)
  • Process ensures parts are safe to handle out of the box

 

One-stop shop for sheet metal components
  • Formed geometries and geometries with hardware inserts available at 3-day lead times for quantities less than 50
  • Basket of sheet metal components ship on same standard lead time
  • Flatwork and formed parts produced with one supplier

 

Highly reliable cutting capability
  • Fiber optic lasers designed for metal cutting applications (vs. other material types)
  • within thickness range of 0.024 in. – 0.250 in. (0.609mm – 6.35mm)
