Overview
What is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is a precise, contactless method to cut metal sheets using a focused beam of light. It delivers tight profiles, minimal heat-affected zone, and burr-free edges — ideal for brackets, covers, enclosures, nameplates, and intricate profiles for assemblies.
- Materials: MS · SS · Aluminum · Brass
- Tolerance: ±0.1 mm (typ.)
- Kerf: ~0.1–0.3 mm
- Edge: Clean / burr-minimized
-
High precision profiles — consistent parts ready for bending, tapping, and assembly.
-
Fast lead times — nested sheets and optimized paths improve turnaround.
-
Clean edges — low dross and minimal post-processing for most geometries.
Note: Final tolerances depend on material, thickness, and geometry. We validate per drawing before production.

Laser vs Waterjet vs Plasma — What’s Best for Your Part?
We specialize in metal laser cutting. This comparison helps buyers understand trade-offs so drawings are right the first time. For exact guidance, send your drawing and specs.
| Feature | Laser (Metals) | Waterjet | Plasma |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precision | High (±0.1 mm typ.) Great for intricate profiles & small holes* | High No HAZ; excellent on thick/non-metal too | Medium Best for thicker plates where speed matters |
| Edge quality | Clean Low dross; light deburr | Very clean Abrasive finish; often no HAZ | Fair–Good May need more post-process |
| Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) | Small | None | Moderate |
| Speed / Throughput | Fast Great for production nesting | Moderate | Fast |
| Cost efficiency | High Especially for thin–medium sheets | Medium Abrasive costs & slower speed | High For thicker steel plates |
| Best for thickness | ~0.8–20 mm MS SS ~0.8–12 mm, Al ~0.8–8 mm | Thin to very thick Excellent for >20 mm or non-metals | Medium to thick steel |
| Materials | Metals: MS, SS, Aluminum, Brass | Metals + non-metals (stone, glass, composites) | Metals (primarily steel) |
| Micro features | Strong Confirm for Al/Brass at very small sizes | Good | Limited |
*Final tolerances depend on material, thickness, geometry, and batch size. See detailed specs ↑.
Tolerances & Finishing (Metals)
Laser-cut parts delivered ready for bending, tapping, and assembly — with practical post-process finishes for **MS, SS, Aluminum, and Brass**.
Cut Profile Tolerance (typical): ±0.1 mm

Final tolerance depends on material, thickness, feature size, and nest strategy. We confirm per drawing.
Edge & Hole Guidance:
- Kerf ~0.1–0.3 mm; allow slot/hole compensation for tight fits.
- Recommended **min hole dia ≥ material thickness**; confirm micro-features in Al/Brass.
- Specify **cosmetic vs non-cosmetic faces** to align finishing direction (brushing/graining).
Deburring (Standard)
EdgeHand/brush deburr; micro-joint removal
ChamferLight break ~0.2–0.5 mm
Default unless “as-cut” requested.
