Versatile

One nice thing about laser cutting is that it can be used on a wide range of different types of metal. And, regardless of what type of metal is being cut, the results are always consistent.

Whether you work with mild steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or various other types of metals, laser cutting is an option for you. Also, if you use different types of metals or pieces that are made up of combination metals, laser cutting is convenient and efficient because you can utilize just one type of cutting for all of your needs.

Precise

Often, customers require that their metal products be cut very precisely or that they achieve exact measurements or careful attention to detail. Fortunately, laser cutting can provide all of those things.

In fact, this cutting option is more precise and exact than other common options such as plasma cutting. Laser cutting wins out because the laser's beam is so precise and able to pinpoint exact parts on the metal. If having a perfectly cut piece of metal is the only option for you, then you'll definitely want to go with laser cutting.

Fast

With laser cutting being so precise, you might think that it would take a long time to complete. Surprisingly, however, the opposite is true. Laser cutting is actually one of the fastest options since the cutting tool does most of the work.

Because laser cutting is such a quick process, it's a great solution when you need something done in a hurry. You can also save money since your project will require less time and, as a result, will usually cost less than if you'd gone with a more time-consuming cutting method.

Warp-Free

With many methods that utilize heat to cut metal, the metal can sometimes become slightly damaged or distorted, which leads to a reduced quality finished product.

However, this is not a concern with laser cutting, which does not cause warping of any kind. Laser cutting is done so quickly that the heat does not have time to damage the metal. The result is a high quality final product that you can be proud to use in your own products.

Capable

When businesses need metal cut into complex shapes, they can sometimes have a hard time finding someone who can get the job done correctly. This is because complex or custom shapes are difficult to cut with older methods of metal cutting.

However, laser cutting is very effective for complex or difficult shapes and other specific cutting needs. If other methods don't work with your needs or aren't giving you the desired results, laser cutting should be able to get the job done right.

Waste-Free

One final thing to appreciate about laser cutting is that it does not require a border around the area to be cut the way other methods do.
Because no border is required, the cutting process can be set up to simply cut one piece after another, which leaves behind no waste or scrap metal in the process.

If you hate wasting resources or having to deal with leftover scrap, laser cutting is the perfect solution.

With so many benefits, it's easy to see that laser cutting is a great choice for metal. To learn more about this option, contact the laser cutting experts at Schorr Metals Inc.
