Not Suitable for Fiber Laser: Non-metals (wood, acrylic, leather, fabric) require CO2 laser technology. We specialize in metal cutting; contact us to discuss alternative services or referrals.

Applications

What We Cut

Typical parts and geometries handled by our fiber laser daily.

⬜

Flat Panels & Plates

Simple geometric cutouts in sheet metal.

⎕

Brackets & Supports

Complex mounting hardware with precision holes.

◊

Enclosures & Boxes

Multi-piece assemblies that fold and weld together.

⚙

Precision Gears

Complex geometry with tight tolerances.

✦

Prototypes & R&D

One-off and small-batch concept parts.

▥

Production Runs

High-volume orders with consistent quality.

Our laser integrates seamlessly with downstream processes: welding (MIG/TIG certified), CNC press brake forming, hardware insertion (PEM fasteners), and metal finishing. Multi-process projects benefit from coordinated shop-floor communication and faster lead times under one roof.

Process

How Fiber Laser Cutting Works

1

Design & Nesting

Upload CAD files (DXF, STEP, PDF). We nest parts for material efficiency and optimize tool path.

2

Material Loading

Sheet stock loaded onto cutting table. Fiber laser head positioned above material.

3

Laser Cutting

Focused laser beam melts/vaporizes metal along programmed path. Nitrogen or air assists cut.

4

Unloading & QC

Parts removed and inspected for dimensional accuracy and edge quality. Minimal dross removal.

Advantages

Why Choose Fiber Laser Cutting?

✓

High Precision

±0.1mm repeatability eliminates secondary machining for most applications.

✓

Fast Turnaround

2–5 day production. No tooling, setup, or die costs. Ideal for prototypes and small batches.

✓

Complex Geometry

Cut intricate shapes, tight radii, and nested arrays without custom tools.

✓

Clean Edge Finish

Fiber laser produces minimal dross and slag — often ready for welding without cleanup.

✓

Material Efficiency

Tight beam focus minimizes kerf (cut width). Nesting optimizes material yield.

✓

Full-Service Integration

Cut, weld, form, assemble, and finish — all in one shop, all under one schedule.

Common Questions

Laser Cutting FAQ

What file formats do you accept for laser cutting?
We accept DXF (preferred), STEP, IGES, PDF, and AutoCAD files. DXF is fastest to process. Include all dimensions, tolerances, and material specs. If nesting or multiple parts per sheet, provide a note of quantities and preferred orientation. Send files to Paul@PT-Metals.com for quoting.
How tight can tolerances be on laser-cut parts?
PT Metals achieves ±0.1mm (±0.004 inch) repeatability on fiber laser. This is standard for most geometries and materials. Tighter tolerances (±0.05mm) are possible on simple shapes and thick materials but may require secondary machining or grinding, adding cost and time. Discuss critical-tolerance requirements during quoting — we'll advise on feasibility and alternatives.
Can you cut through brass, copper, or other specialty metals?
Yes. Fiber lasers excel on reflective metals — copper, brass, gold, and silver cut faster and cleaner than on CO2 systems. We also work with titanium, nickel, and other specialty alloys. Thickness and cost vary. Contact us with material grade and thickness for a quote.
Do you offer deburring or edge finishing after laser cutting?
Our fiber laser produces clean edges with minimal dross — most parts are ready for welding or assembly as-cut. For cosmetic polishing, grinding, or additional finishing, we offer metal finishing services. Request specifics during quoting, and we'll provide a complete quote including all processes.
What is the typical cost of laser cutting?
Laser cutting pricing depends on material type, thickness, part complexity (perimeter and holes), quantity, and nesting efficiency. No setup fees or tooling charges — you only pay for material and cutting time. Simple flat parts in 16-gauge steel might cost $8–20/part in small quantities.
