Cutting stainless and carbon steel sheet to the required size and shape. Laser cutting gives clean edges and tight tolerances in thin and medium gauges; plasma is more economical on heavy sections. Deburring, bending and hole work can follow.
Applications
- Cutting parts to a technical drawing
- Cutting sheet to size
- Holes, slots and custom profiles
- Prototype and one-off parts
- Volume part cutting
