5 Advantages Of Laser Cutting For Your Business
When you need to create a prototype, or precision engineer multiple parts quickly, finding a supplier who has the latest laser cutting technology makes sense.
Here are five advantages of laser cutting, that optimise the latest technology and skills.
1. Versatile way to cut diverse materials
Laser cutting design is possible for an incredibly wide range of materials. Including non-ferrous metals, wood, plastics, stone and glass.
It is also a great option for crafting parts from thick metals, including steel, or slicing through thinner materials such as paper! It’s even a way to shape ceramics with confidence.
2. 100% accuracy for even complex designs
There are many reasons to source ‘laser cutting near me’ but every project will have clear aims in terms of dimensions and detailing.
With laser cutting, you get a 100% accurate representation of your specifications, to ensure this part does its job flawlessly. That often includes highly complex designs that can be laser cut swiftly and accurately using CAD-supported cutting technology.
The latest laser equipment has no problems producing even intricate cut-outs, etching and relief patterns, for example. Even when the project involves a small component.
3. Creates a flawless finish
When outsourcing precision engineering to a fabrication specialist, you will also need to be sure the cutting process doesn’t affect the integrity of the material.
This is also where laser cutting holds advantages over alternative ways to shape parts. It creates a highly clean surface. Whereas traditional ways to cut materials such as metal and rubber can create a rough or distorted edge, from abrasion or heat for instance.
A perfect finish can make a big difference to the reliability of an item that has been precision engineered.
4. Manages costs for precision-engineered parts
As laser cutting technology is a fast and energy-efficient way to shape parts and components, you can commission prototypes at highly competitive prices. Even sourcing multiple parts cut to the same design is highly cost-effective when this engineering technology is used.
The latest laser cutting equipment can even match the versatility and cost of waterjet technology, for many precision engineering projects.
5. Ensures a quick turnaround for prototypes
Short lead times for prototypes or multiple parts can be vital too. Especially if the item is needed to keep your production schedule on track. Fortunately, if you are looking for laser cutting in Yorkshire, we can promise a speedy turnaround on your project.
Best way to source laser cutting services
It is rare for businesses to have this level of expertise in-house. Not least as the best laser cutting equipment represents a considerable investment, that may be needed infrequently.
At C&C Fabrications we use the skills and technology involved every day. So, we stay on the ‘cutting edge’ of this increasingly popular way to shape parts.
We are happy to share this skill and technology with companies who need to outsource laser cutting to a versatile, responsive supplier. Get in touch for a quote and delivery date by emailing info@candcfabrications.co.uk or call 01977 670 067.
