Laser cutting is a manufacturing process where a laser beam pierces raw sheet stock to produce flat geometries. A range of metals are available, which work well for components such as washers, mounts, brackets, and housings.
Laser cutting is commonly used for:
-- prototyping designs or testing product requirements
-- efficiencies of scale up to 50+ parts
-- parts with standard connectivity features (USB, HDMI, ethernet ports)
Follow these guidelines for flat, laser cut parts to ensure quality and accelerate production time.
| Maximum Size | Thickness 0.134 - 0.250 in.: 39 in. x 19 in. . |
| Thickness 0.024 in - 0.134 in.: 39 in. x 47 in. | |
| Minimum Part Size | 0.25in.x0.25in. |
| Material Thicknesses | 0.024in.-0.250in. |
| Tolerances | +/- 0.005 in. for all features (except for hardware holes) . |
| +0.003/-0.000 in. on hardware insert holes to ensure correct seating of inserts. |
