2D/3D Laser Cutting Metal
Laser cutting metal is a thermal cutting process that uses a highly focused laser beam to melt and vaporize material, creating a clean, narrow cut.
As a complex computer-controlled procedure, it can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, including metals, fabric, and much more.
2D Laser Cutting
It is often referred to as one of the most precise cutting methods in the world: A superior precision cutting technique uses a laser beam to cut through flat sheet metal to create intricate shapes and designs. This laser cutting process is highly precise, allowing for fine details and tight tolerances.
A key benefit is its versatility, enabling the production of complex parts with speed and accuracy. Finding its applications in various industries, including electronics, aerospace, and architectural fabrication. The process is particularly useful for creating parts with complex shapes or features that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.
3D Laser Cutting
In addition to metal stamping and 2D, 3D laser cutting is a cutting-edge manufacturing process that extends into the third dimension. This method utilizes a laser to cut through metal materials in multiple axes, allowing for the creation of three-dimensional shapes and intricate contours.
It is particularly advantageous for producing complex components with curved surfaces, beveled edges, and intricate geometries. Similar to 2D, this process offers precision and versatility, but it adds an extra dimension to the design possibilities.
Commonly employed in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices, where intricate and precisely shaped parts are essential. The combination of metal stamping, 2D and 3D laser cutting provides a comprehensive set of manufacturing capabilities, catering to a wide range of product requirements in today’s advanced manufacturing landscape.
Automotive & beyond
This advanced method offers increased efficiency, reduced waste, and the ability to create intricate three-dimensional structures with minimal material distortion. 3D laser cutting finds versatile applications across various industries due to its precision and flexibility.
Whether it’s used for cutting intricate components and body parts in the automotive industry, for cutting complex shapes in aircraft components in the aerospace industry, for precision cutting of electronic components and circuit boards in electronics manufacturing, for creating intricate components for medical devices, implants, and surgical instruments in medical device manufacturing, or for enabling quick and precise prototyping of three-dimensional designs in prototyping and rapid manufacturing, 3D laser cutting is a valuable manufacturing tool.
