Advanced Laser Cutting Services: Precision, Versatility, and Quality in Metal Fabrication
At Prestige Metals, our laser cutting capabilities are both advanced and versatile, backed by technology that can handle a variety of material thicknesses—up to 1-inch mild steel, 3/4-inch stainless steel, and 1/2-inch aluminum. Our specialized tooling further complements our services, allowing us to perform intricate tasks like punching holes, shapes, louvers, and embossments with precision.
The science behind our laser cutting involves stimulating a lasing material to create a highly focused, coherent light beam. This beam, with diameters as narrow as 0.0125 inches, enables kerf widths as small as 0.004 inches depending on the material thickness. Our advanced laser systems are designed for precision, with benefits including minimal workpiece contamination, reduced heat-affected zones, and less material warping compared to mechanical cutting methods. Our machines are increasingly approaching the capabilities of plasma cutting in terms of material thickness, offering a precise and energy-efficient alternative, albeit with a higher initial capital cost. Overall, our laser cutting services combine state-of-the-art technology with unparalleled expertise to deliver highly precise and versatile metal fabrication solutions.
