VT machining offers CNC Plasma Cutting for C101 Copper (UNS C10100 / OFE / Cu-OFE), typically supplied annealed or H02. Oxygen-free electronic copper with ≥101% IACS; for vacuum and hydrogen environments.
CNC Plasma Cutting Notes for C101 Copper
Plasma can cut C101 Copper but leaves a rougher edge; for precision parts we usually recommend waterjet or laser instead.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C101 Copper weighs about 0.89 kg.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Plasma Cutting C101 Copper?
Laser-cut C101 Copper thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
Why is C101 Copper a good choice for CNC Plasma Cutting?
C101 Copper is excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, which makes it well suited to CNC Plasma Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C101 Copper cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Plasma Cutting C101 Copper require dedicated tooling?
Most C101 Copper cutting work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Can VT machining make custom C101 Copper parts to my drawing?
Yes. C101 Copper cutting is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Plasma Cutting C101 Copper?
CNC Plasma Cutting prototypes for C101 Copper 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 tolerances can you hold for CNC Plasma Cutting C101 Copper?
Achievable tolerances for C101 Copper cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
