Laser Cutter Types We Use
We use a range of advanced laser cutting machines to match different materials and design needs. Each cutter offers unique strengths—ensuring speed, precision, and quality across all projects.
Fiber Laser Cutting
Our fiber lasers deliver high-speed, high-precision cuts—ideal for reflective metals like aluminum and brass. They offer excellent energy efficiency and are perfect for both prototypes and large-scale runs.
CO₂ Laser Cutting
CO₂ lasers are versatile and clean-cutting, great for materials like plastics, wood, and thin metals. Their fine beam allows for smooth edges and detailed designs across various applications.
Nd:YAG Laser Cutting
Nd:YAG lasers handle thick or dense materials with ease, offering deep, precise cuts. We use them for industrial parts that demand both power and accuracy.
