What is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a sheet metal fabrication process that uses a focused laser beam to cut metal into precise shapes and profiles. The laser follows a programmed toolpath based on the digital design to create contours, holes, slots, and other features.

Laser cutting can produce accurate two-dimensional profiles with narrow cutting paths and clean edges. It is suitable for prototypes and production parts and can be combined with other sheet metal fabrication processes

How does Laser Cutting work?

Laser cutting creates sheet metal parts by directing a focused laser beam along programmed cutting paths. Here are the processes of laser cutting at 3DSPRO:

Process: Manufacturability check.
white_arrow_hollowImport the CAD file and review the part geometry.
white_arrow_hollowSelect the appropriate material and sheet thickness.
white_arrow_hollowDetermine the suitable laser cutting method and cutting parameters.
white_arrow_hollowGenerate and optimize cutting paths.
white_arrow_hollowPosition and secure the sheet metal.
white_arrow_hollowLaser cutting machine operating.
white_arrow_hollowRemove the cut parts from the sheet.
white_arrow_hollowPerform deburring and edge finishing if required.
white_arrow_hollowBending, welding, or other secondary fabrication processes (optional).
white_arrow_hollowSurface finishing (optional).
white_arrow_hollowQuality inspection.
white_arrow_hollowPacking and shipping.

Pros and Cons of Laser Cutting

laser cutting advantages
Pros

1. Produces precise profiles, holes, slots, and other two-dimensional features.

2. Can create complex contours without conventional cutting dies.

3. Provides fast and efficient processing for prototypes and production parts.

4. Supports a variety of commonly used sheet metal materials.

5. Can be combined with bending, welding, and surface finishing to manufacture complete parts.

laser cutting disadvantages
Cons

1. Primarily suited to flat sheet profiles rather than complex three-dimensional geometries.

2. Heat generated during cutting can affect the cut edge and surrounding material.

3. Very thick materials may require alternative cutting methods depending on the material and equipment.

4. Part cost can increase when the design contains a large number of complex cuts or small features.
