A laser cutter supports businesses and DIYers to produce anything from a simple bracket to the most complex parts.
Flamin Fabrications’ brand-new laser cutter is probably our best purchase yet – with clean cuts, impeccable speed and accurate precision on steel and alloy materials.
So what is laser cutting?
Flamin Fabrications uses a fiber laser cutter with a solid-state laser, to melt and pierce material using nitrogen and/or oxygen.
Our machine can cut a range of materials up to 16mm in thickness, depending on the material. You can find a list of what we can cut HERE.
Primarily used in manufacturing and infrastructure, our fiber laser cutting machine has an accuracy of 0.02mm, providing our customers with a precise finish.
How does it work?
High-speed airflow is paired with the laser beam and used to blow away molten material, allowing for the cut.
The fiber laser’s initial contact with the material is more intense so it can pierce through - lasting roughly 5 seconds - providing a clear-cutting path.
Laser cutting machines use CNC (Computerised Digital Control) technology to control the position of the laser cutting head. This operates with the 4 axis of the machine, X & Y (left and right) Z (up and down) and W axis, which is the focus of the optical lenses. The cutting data is then received from the computer workstation using a ‘G Code’. In simple terms, it’s similar to the machine reading a map and moving from point to point, forming the shape of the part required.
The computer workstation allows us to upload a drawing file that our team designs on a CAD software.
