ADVANTAGES OF HAVING PARTS CUT BY FIBER LASER:

• Elimination of tool cost for small volume and prototype work
• Can cut up to .5″ thick Steel
• Can cut up to .25″ thick Aluminum & Stainless Steel
• Laser Table can hold up to a 96″ x 240″ sheet

DISADVANTAGES OF HAVING PARTS CUT BY FIBER LASER:

• After cut: hardened edge leads to the material being harder to machine
• Due to heat – long narrow parts offend tend to warp
• Can only cut conductive metals (No plastic, wood, reflective material, perforated sheets)
