Laser machining different materials and the cost savings to the end user.


Using traditional tooling can sometimes not be the most cost effective answer. With a laser it can be programmed to do repititious movements over and over again. Using a laser will guarantee that each part will be identical to the part that was previously cut. The tolerances on a laser are also very tight meaning that they will be in spec  100% of the time. Being that a laser will save time that savings can be transferred to the customer. Different feed rates can also apply depending on what materials are used and the thickness of such materials.
