The ability to apply laser cutting to a
sheet metal or stainless steel fabrication after it has been formed and welded has implications for a
variety of applications. 3D Laser cutting can replace many drilling, milling,
and cutting operations resulting in reduced costs and improved precision.
3D laser cutting works well when customer's have intersecting cylinders
or parts with unique hole geometries. In the past, some customers
required expensive boring mill operations after their assembly had
been welded and stress relieved. 5-Axis laser cutting is a fast and
inexpensive way to add precision features to an assembly, replacing
the boring mill process.
Advantages
Eliminates costly milling and drilling operations
Allows trimming, drilling, and cutting on formed sheet metal parts
