VT machining offers CNC Laser Cutting for 317L Stainless Steel (UNS S31703 / 1.4438), typically supplied annealed. More Mo than 316L for harsher chemical service.
CNC Laser Cutting Notes for 317L Stainless Steel
Fibre-laser cutting of 317L Stainless Steel sheet gives a narrow kerf with minimal burr.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 317L Stainless Steel weighs about 0.80 kg.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Laser Cutting on 317L Stainless Steel?
Laser cutting leaves 317L Stainless Steel with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Laser Cutting 317L Stainless Steel?
Laser-cut 317L Stainless Steel thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Laser Cutting 317L Stainless Steel?
CNC Laser Cutting prototypes for 317L Stainless Steel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
What is CNC Laser Cutting 317L Stainless Steel and how is it done?
CNC Laser Cutting 317L Stainless Steel refers to cNC fiber laser cutting follows a programmed path to cut sheet and plate with a clean, narrow kerf. Applied to 317L Stainless Steel — corrosion resistant, strong and hygienic — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Does CNC Laser Cutting 317L Stainless Steel require dedicated tooling?
Most 317L Stainless Steel cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
