Laser Cutting
Discover essential factors like tolerances, kerf, and taper in designing for sheet metal laser cutting. CNC fiber laser cutting, using precise computer control and a high-powered fiber laser, efficiently cuts a variety of metals with minimal waste and high accuracy.

Surface Finish
Kerf
Kerf, the material removed during laser cutting, creates a gap. Importantly, design files don’t need kerf compensation.
Tolerance
We ensure a cutting tolerance of +/-0.005″ for your parts, often achieving tighter tolerances around +/-0.002″.
Taper
Be aware of the natural tapering in laser-cut edges, impacting the final appearance and dimensions.
Surface Finish
Expect smooth, clean finishes with minimal burrs. Our cutting technology and optional post-processing enhance the quality of your parts.
Applications & Grades
They are a base material in applications that do not require any formability beyond minimal bending and/or roll-forming.
- Large and Small Electric Motors
- Generators
- Ballasts
- Transformers
