Frequently Asked Questions
What is Laser Cutting and how is it done?
Laser Cutting refers to fiber laser cutting melts and ejects metal along a programmed path, producing a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge. VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
How clean are the edges produced by Laser Cutting on ?
Laser cutting leaves the metal with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What tolerances can you hold for Laser Cutting?
Achievable tolerances for Laser 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.
Can VT machining make custom parts to my drawing?
Yes. Laser 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.
