Tube laser cutting is a sheet metal fabrication process that uses a focused laser beam to cut and process tubular metal materials according to a digital design. The laser can create precise profiles, holes, slots, notches, and other features on the surface of a tube or pipe.
Compared with conventional tube cutting methods, laser processing can produce multiple features in different orientations without requiring separate cutting operations for each feature.
Tube laser cutting creates tubular parts by rotating and positioning the tube while a focused laser follows programmed cutting paths. Here are the processes of tube laser cutting at 3DSPRO:
Import the CAD file and review the tubular part geometry.
Select the appropriate material, tube profile, and wall thickness.
Determine the required cutting method and processing parameters.
Generate and optimize cutting paths.
Load and position the tube on the machine.
Secure the tube and calibrate its position.
Tube laser cutting machine operating.
Remove the cut tube from the machine.
Inspect cut profiles, holes, slots, and other features.
Perform deburring or edge finishing if required.
Bending, welding, or surface finishing (optional).
Quality inspection. Packing and shipping.
1. Produces precise holes, slots, notches, and profiles directly on tubular materials.
2. Can process round, square, and rectangular tubes.
3. Reduces the need for multiple machining or cutting operations.
4. Supports complex tube geometries and features in different orientations.
5. Suitable for prototypes, custom components, and production parts.
1. Tube dimensions and profiles are limited by the machine's processing capacity.
2. Heat generated during laser cutting can affect cut edges and surrounding material.
3. Complex tubular assemblies may still require bending, welding, or additional fabrication processes.
4. Larger or thicker tubes may require specialized equipment and processing parameters.
