Metal Cutting: Consider Part Geometry

Metal Cutting: Consider Part Geometry

A common pitfall for many fabricators is to assume that any part can be cut on any machine.  The truth is that some parts are simply not compatible with certain materials or machines. For example, some part geometries are affected more than others by the thermal...

Material composition is important to consider in all types of cutting – but especially when cutting with CO2 or fiber lasers.  Steel is a dense metal while aluminum is much less dense. Aluminum is approximately thirty percent less dense than steel. Laser cutting is...
