Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Cutting


Which types of metals can be cut?
The metals sheets that can be cut can be made of mild and stainless steels and aluminum.

What is the maximum cutting thickness of mild steel metal sheets?
The maximum cutting thickness of mild steel metal sheets of the type ST37 is 25 mm. For other types of mild steels the maximum cutting thickness varies accordingly.

What is the maximum cutting thickness of stainless steel metal sheets?
The maximum cutting thickness for stainless steel metal sheets of type 304 is 20 mm. For other types of stainless steel the maximum cutting thickness varies accordingly.

What is the maximum cutting thickness for aluminum metal sheets?
The maximum cutting thickness for aluminum metal sheets is 12 mm. Due to the nature of aluminum as a metal, during the laser cutting, residue forms along the cutting line, which is easily removed after the cutting process is done without affecting the quality of the cutting.

How many different ways methods for cutting mild steels are there?
There are three methods for cutting based on the specifications of each task.
  • Firstly with the use of compressed air for a cheap low quality cutting of up to 8 mm in thickness.
  • The second method uses of oxygen for a high quality cut of up to 25 mm but with the formation of a layer of oxidized metal at the cut.
  • Finally the third method uses nitrogen for a high quality clean cut at a higher cost. This method of cutting is recommended for tasks that require clean cuts without any oxidation as the metal is destined for product manufacturing and construction.
Is it possible for the company to provide the metal sheets required for a task?
Of course. At our company we have an automated storage system for metal sheets, which allows us to minimize the time needed for acquiring the necessary material for a task. In the case that you decide to use the metal sheets we provide you shall not be charged any handling fees. However if you choose to provide your own metal sheets these fees will be charged.

What kind of metal sheets can you provide?
We can readily provide the following metal sheets:
  • Mild steel metal sheets of type ST37 and of thickness from 0.8-25 mm.
  • Stainless steel 306 of thickness from 0.8-20 mm.
  • Aluminum metal sheets of thickness from 1-12 mm.
  • Galvanized steel sheets of thickness from 1-4 mm.
If you wish to use whatever other types or sizes of metal sheets, we can also provide them in a short period of time.

What other types of metal sheets can be laser cut?
Other types of metal sheets can be cut include Hardox and Corten rusted mild steel metal sheets and type 316 stainless steel metal sheets.

CNC Bending


Does your equipment carry out any flattening as well?
Of course. Our machine can flatten metal sheets of up to 2 mm in thickness.

Does your equipment leave any marks on stainless steel metal sheets with a foil?
Our machine does NOT leave any marks when handling stainless steel metal sheets with a foil, which have a maximum thickness of 1.5mm.

What is the maximum length of a metal sheet that is to be processed?
The maximum length of a metal sheet that can undergo bending or flattening is 3000mm.
