Efficient Manufacturing

Our metal cutting service is here to achieve all your goals to your specifications. Spend less time waiting for your finished product when you choose laser cutting.

The speed of the curing depends on several factors:

  • How thick the material is
  • How complex the shape is
  • The length of the cut
  • The material

Our laser cut service is exceptionally fast compared to CNC cutting, plasma cutting, and 3D printing. Every cut is exact, so you don’t have to worry about the finished product. Call our Midland Metal Products team for laser cutting solutions tailored to your needs.

Types of Laser Cutters

There are three main types of laser cutters:

  • CO2 laser cutters: CO2 cutters work with gas and mirrors, are in the infrared range and work best with wood and paper materials and acrylic plastics.
  • Fiber laser cutters: Fiber laser cutters produce strong and stable beams and work best with metal, specifically with metal engraving and marking thermoplastics, as well as glass, wood, and plastic.
  • Crystal laser cutters: Crystal laser cutters have an extremely high cutting power and allow a broad range of applications. We use it with nonmetals and metals for various end products.

At Midland Metal Products, we work with various laser cutters to achieve desired results and give your business an edge.

FAQ

Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials and is typically used for industrial applications.

Laser cutting works by directing the output of a laser toward the material to be cut. The laser beam is then focused and moved over the material to create a cut. The process is swift and can be used to cut through various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.

A sheet metal cutting service is a business that uses lasers to cut sheet metal for various clients. Typically, the sheet metal is cut to order based on the client’s specifications.

The benefits of using a laser cutter include superior accuracy and the ability to cut tiny details. Additionally, because lasers are so precise, they can produce clean cuts with no deformity or warping in the metal. This makes them ideal for creating parts with tight tolerances and complex shapes.

The difference between CNC cutting and laser cutting is that a laser cutter uses a laser to cut through the material, whereas a CNC cutter uses a drill bit or other tool to cut through the material.

Whether to use a CNC or a laser cutter depends on the specific needs of each project. Laser cutters are more precise than CNC cutters and can produce cleaner cuts. However, CNC cutters are less expensive than laser cutters.

Laser-cutting machines provide many benefits for businesses, including the following:

Increased accuracy: A laser cutting machine is highly accurate, which means it can easily cut small and intricate designs. This accuracy also helps to ensure that the cuts are clean and precise, reducing the amount of post-processing required.

Reduced waste: Because a laser cutter can precisely cut materials to the correct dimensions, there is very little waste produced due to the cutting process. This helps keep costs down and reduces manufacturing operations’ environmental impact.

Increased speed: A laser cutter can achieve superior speeds than other cutting methods. This means that products can be made more quickly and efficiently.

The CNC laser cutting machine uses a high-powered laser to cut through the material. The laser is guided by a computer-aided design (CAD) file that tells the machine where to cut and how deep to go. The laser beam heats the material, causing it to vaporize and release gas. This gas ejects the molten material from the sheet, leaving a clean and precise cut.

Yes, aluminum can be laser cut. However, the type of aluminum you are using may be a factor in how well it can be laser-cut.

Aluminum is a good material for laser cutting because it is reflective and has low thermal conductivity. This means that it reflects the laser beam well and does not dissipate the heat quickly, making it a good material for producing clean cuts. However, different types of aluminum have different levels of reflectivity and thermal conductivity, so you should check the specifications of your particular type of aluminum to see if it is suitable for laser cutting.

Yes. You can cut metal with a laser cutter.

Laser cutters use a high-powered laser beam to quickly and cleanly cut through materials like wood, plastic, or metal. They are often used in industrial settings to create precise and accurate cuts.

Commercial laser cutters come in various sizes and can cut different materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, and more. While most laser cutters can cut metal sheets up to about 0.5 inches thick, some models can accommodate thicker materials.

To laser cut a custom stamp, you’ll need to create a vector file of the design you want to use. Many software programs can create vector files, such as Illustrator and CorelDraw. Once you have your vector file, you’ll need to find a laser-cutting service to make the stamp. Some services will require you to send them the vector file, while others will allow you to upload it directly on their website. Prices for laser-cutting stamps vary depending on the size and complexity of the design.

Our process for creating custom laser-cut products is pretty simple. We start by getting details about what you’re looking for, including the dimensions, materials, and design. Once we have that information, we generate a CAD file of the product and send it over to our team of laser cutters. They will then create a proof of the product and send it back to us for review. Once we approve the proof, we move on to production.

At Midland Metal Products, we work with a variety of materials for laser cutting, including:
