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
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:
Import the CAD file and review the part geometry.
Select the appropriate material and sheet thickness.
Determine the suitable laser cutting method and cutting parameters.
Generate and optimize cutting paths.
Position and secure the sheet metal.
Laser cutting machine operating.
Remove the cut parts from the sheet.
Perform deburring and edge finishing if required.
Bending, welding, or other secondary fabrication processes (optional).
Surface finishing (optional).
Quality inspection.
Packing and shipping.
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.
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.
