Fiber Laser Cutting

• Typical: 0.8–12 mm
• Thicker on request (machine/grade dependent)
• Common grades: A36, 1018

Clean edges suitable for welding and secondary ops.

• Typical: 0.8–8 mm
• Grades: 304/304L, 316/316L
• Excellent corrosion resistance

Nitrogen assist for bright edges where needed.

• Typical: 0.8–6 mm
• Alloys: 5052/5083 (sheet), 6061 (plate)
• Great for brackets and light structural parts

Consider anodize after cut for corrosion/cosmetics.

• Profile tolerance typically ±0.1–0.2 mm (feature/size dependent)
• Kerf width ~0.1–0.3 mm; avoid ultra-tight slot fits without allowance
• Small holes (< material thickness) may require reaming/tapping after

• Etch/mark text or IDs for assembly
• Micro-tabs for nest stability during cut
• Tab removal + edge deburr available

• Deburr, tumble, or edge-break
• Forming/bending (press brake) on request
• CNC machining for precision faces/holes
• Finishes: powder coat, anodize, passivation, black oxide

• Prefer standard thicknesses stocked locally to reduce lead time.
• Leave clearance for slots equal to kerf + tolerance (e.g., +0.2–0.3 mm).
• For tapped holes, laser as pilot and tap after; for tight bores, ream after.
• Bridge small internal features with micro-tabs to prevent tip-ups.

• Leave stock allowance on faces that will be finished on CNC.
• Add datums/etch marks to speed fixturing and orientation.
• Bundle flat blanks and CNC ops under one PO to save setup cost.
