I want a part made out of a material you have not listed. Will you be able to cut it?
There are many materials out there that we can cut that are not listed. The types listed are ones we have tried out and cut successfully so far. If your material is not on the list, please give us a few days for us to determine if we are able to cut it and find the optimal cutting condition, then we will contact you in regards to whether or not we have the capability.
What factors affect the price?
Many factors are taken into account when we quote prices. A few factors are:
- Material type, and amount of material used
- Quantity of parts (initial set up fee will reduced by higher quantities)
- Machine cutting time, affected by material type and quantity of parts
- How intricate the design is
- Sketchings and drawings require addition time to be converted into CAD files
How does the laser work?
"Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high power laser at the material to be cut. The material then either melts, burns or vaporizes away leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish." "Laser cutters usually work much like a milling machine would for working a sheet in that the laser (equivalent to the mill) enters through the side of the sheet and cuts it through the axis of the beam. In order to be able to start cutting from somewhere else than the edge, a pierce is done before every cut. Piercing usually involves a high power pulsating laser beam which slowly (taking around 5-15 seconds for half inch Stainless Steel, for example) makes a hole in the material."
