VT machining offers CNC Laser Cutting for C360 Brass (UNS C36000 / CuZn36Pb3 / Free-cutting brass), typically supplied half-hard. Machinability benchmark for copper alloys (100%); lead breaks chips cleanly.
CNC Laser Cutting Notes for C360 Brass
Fibre-laser cutting of C360 Brass sheet gives a narrow kerf with minimal burr.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C360 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

What is CNC Laser Cutting C360 Brass and how is it done?
CNC Laser Cutting C360 Brass refers to cNC fiber laser cutting follows a programmed path to cut sheet and plate with a clean, narrow kerf. Applied to C360 Brass — free-machining with good conductivity — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Laser Cutting C360 Brass?
Laser-cut C360 Brass 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 C360 Brass?
CNC Laser Cutting prototypes for C360 Brass can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
Why is C360 Brass a good choice for CNC Laser Cutting?
C360 Brass is free-machining with good conductivity, which makes it well suited to CNC Laser Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C360 Brass cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
