Laser cutting services works by directing a high power laser beam to a chosen material, with the intention of either etching the material or cutting through it. The reason it’s called a subtractive method is because it works by burning away the material, leaving you with the cut-out shape as specified in your vector file. In order to come up with detailed and precise cuts, the cutting beam is very thin. It’s typically around 0.1 mm, and can create incredibly accurate and detailed cuts. It is also possible to use laser for marking the surface of metals, by reducing its intensity to very low levels. This is known as engraving or etching, and is used to give stunning effects on plastic and wood.
Engineers traditionally used laser cutting services to cut complex parts of machine. The method uses specialty CAD software to build vector files that can be understood by the machine. Although it requires some level of expertise to detail a program, the results can be very stunning. If you are in the fabrication business, you might find a challenge with customers complaining about your cost but things ease when you produce in bulk
Having been in the fabrication industry for years now, 4 Way Metal offers the most realistic packages of laser cutting services. We set t out to give designers, illustrators, artists and everyone in between an easy access to laser cutting , so that the can make their designs a reality. Our aim is to make laser cutting more affordable and easier so as to demystify the matrix behind it.
