Materials We Laser Cut
We laser cut a variety of sheet metal materials tailored to your specifications.
Our advanced fibre optic laser cutters are designed specifically for cutting sheet metals, so we do not offer laser cutting for plastics, wood, leather, or other organic materials. If you prefer, we can provide pricing for cutting services if you supply your own free issued material.
We can accommodate sheets measuring up to 3000 mm × 1500 mm, with a maximum cutting area of 2980 mm x 1480 mm, depending on material availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
We've compiled the most common questions. Feel free to pop us an email if you have any further questions.
What is the thinnest aluminium you can laser cut?
The thinnest aluminium we laser cut is 1 mm.
Why do you cut 0.5 mm stainless steel and brass but not 0.5 mm aluminium?
This is due to the weight, laser cutting use’s gas when cutting and when a sheet is light it can move during the cutting process so 1 mm is the thinnest we are able to successfully cut.
Can you laser cut MDF?
No, our laser and plasma cutters are only designed to cut sheet metals.
Can you laser cut free issued silver?
No, due to the reflective properties of silver and silver plate we are not able to laser cut silver.
Will mild steel rust if not protected?
Mild steel is highly susceptible to corrosion and will quickly oxidise when exposed to water, oxygen, and ions? Mild steel does not have a chromium oxide protective layer and so the iron present reacts with the moisture in the air to produce iron oxide or 'rust'. Mild steel needs additional treatment like galvanizing to create a protective surface.
Will the cut edge harden on my laser cut profiles?
Yes laser cutting generates heat, which can result in a heat-affected zone (HAZ) around the cut edges.
This effect is more obvious in mild/carbon steel cutting where oxygen is used as the cutting gas.
Can you cut mild steel durbar?
Yes we can.
Will my brass laser cut profiles arrive polished?
No, we cut from mill finish brass and parts will probably need further finishing.
What is the thinnest brass you can laser cut?
We are able to laser cut brass down to 0.55 mm thick.
