Brass/Copper/Bronze
All types laser cut – CZ108, C160 But more are available
Laser cutting brass and copper and other copper alloys such as bronze is difficult process on standard co2 laser cutting machines, this was due to the thermal conductivity and reflective properties of these materials that can severely damage traditional co2 lasers. But with fibre optic laser technology we are able to cut brass, copper and bronze up to 10mm thick without a problem. These materials have many uses from engineering components, model making, to artistic applications.
How Big? |
Up to 2000mm x 1000mm is standard |
How Small? |
Very small – but will depend upon material thickness |
How Thick? |
10mm |
How Thin? |
0.7mm |
How Detailed Can It Be? |
Generally better if the detail is not less than the material thickness For example 2mm diameter hole in 2mm thick sheet |
Cutting Tolerance |
< 3mm - +/- 0.1mm 3-6mm - +/- 0.2mm |
What You Should Know |
The cut edge on thinner material is very smooth – The edge quality degrades slightly on thicker material |
