Why Choose Our Laser Cutting Services in Michigan?
Laser cutting offers many advantages compared to conventional manufacturing cutting techniques such as plasma, flame and water jet. These advantages include flexibility, ease of automation, and higher quality. In recent years, laser speeds and laser beam quality have dramatically increased. As a result, laser cutting, which has historically been used for lower volume prototype applications, is now competing with more traditional higher volume manufacturing processes. Laser cutting is a flexible, cost effective, and higher quality alternative to metal die blanking for increasingly higher production volumes.
Laser cutting provides a clean cut required to meet the manufacturer’s specifications and the speed necessary to meet the volume requirements in a cost effective way. In addition, laser cutting greatly reduces the tooling cost for most projects. Furthermore, certain industry sectors are increasingly adopting hot stamping, tube and hydroform metal processing, which cannot be fully processed without laser cutting.

Laser-Cut vs. Machined Holes: When Is CNC Machining Needed?
A laser can cut dozens of holes in a sheet while cutting the part's outside profile. For many jobs, those holes are ready to use as soon as the part leaves the cutting table. Other holes need more attention. A bearing may need to be pressed into place. A locating pin...
How Laser-Cut Tabs and Slots Improve Metal Fabrication
Laser cutting can do more than create the outside shape of a part. It can also add small locating features that make the next stage of fabrication easier. Tabs and slots are a good example. A tab on one piece fits into a matching slot on another, giving the assembly a...
Material Certificates and Traceability in Metal Fabrication
A finished metal part has a visible story. You can see the cut edge. You can check the bend. You can inspect the weld bead. What you cannot see by looking at the part is just as important: where the material came from and whether it corresponds to the grade called for...
