What Are the Benefits of Laser Cutting?

We use a fiber optic laser cutter. This relies on a fiber optic cable that channels amplified light to a hyper-focused lens. The result is a precise cutting point that can cut sheet metal up to 0.866 inches in thickness. A laser cutter can be used to cut stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, and other sheet metal materials.

Versatility in Materials and Designs

Laser cutting can handle a wide range of materials, such as aluminum, steel and stainless steel.

Our laser cutting technology also accommodates complex designs, enabling manufacturers to create unique and functional components without the need for expensive tooling or die changes.

At DeWys Metal Solutions, we have a wide range of tooling to fit almost any job. If tooling is unavailable, we can quickly source the appropriate tooling for the job.

Speed and Efficiency

Laser cutting is much faster than many traditional cutting methods. Once the design is programmed into the CNC system, the laser can cut intricate shapes in a fraction of the time it would take with mechanical methods. Additionally, the process minimizes setup time, making it ideal for both prototyping and large-scale production runs.

Cost-Effectiveness

The efficiency of custom laser cutting translates into cost savings. Since the process is automated and requires less manual labor, production costs are significantly reduced. Furthermore, the precision of high-speed laser cutting minimizes material waste, making it an environmentally friendly and economically advantageous option.

Clean and High-Quality Results

Precision laser cutting provides clean, burr-free edges that often don’t require additional finishing. This eliminates the need for secondary processes like grinding or sanding, saving time and money. The result is a high-quality product ready for assembly or further processing.

DeWys also has deburring equipment for when product does need extra finishing

Minimal Heat Distortion

One of the underrated benefits of laser cutting is its ability to minimize heat distortion, even when working with delicate or thin materials. The laser’s precision and controlled heat application ensure that only a small, localized area is affected, reducing the risk of warping or compromising the material’s structural integrity. This makes laser cutting an ideal choice for projects requiring exact specifications and aesthetic quality, such as in the medical equipment parts industry.

Why Choose Laser Cutting?

With its combination of speed, precision, and versatility, laser cutting is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. Whether you need intricate designs, quick turnarounds, or cost-effective solutions, this technology delivers outstanding results across a wide range of applications.
