Laser Cutting Materials
To help engineers choose the right material, we have over 450+ materials in stock, all of which are suitable for laser cutting and provide for precision capabilities. Our engineered materials means that the internal structure, consistency, and density is uniform, which creates parts whose exact weight, tensile strength, and center of mass is well defined. At the same time, engineered materials guarantee precision among different parts, even if they are manufactured at different times.
Of course, there will be applications that call upon very specific materials, and we accept custom material requests. If you require a custom material, let us know what the material is and where it can be purchased from so we can provide an accurate quote, but remember, we can only cut laser-safe materials.

What is laser cutting?
Laser cutting is a process where a high power laser light beam is used to cut through materials. The material either melts, burns or vaporizes by the laser beam, leaving a clean edge. Laser cutting is a precise process and can be used to cut simple and complex shapes, for metal cutting or laser engraving.
Laser metal cutting is the new standard for cutting 2D parts from large sheets of raw materials. Online laser cutting services offer a convenient way to have materials cut by a laser. Laser-cutting steel is one of the most popular applications of this technology. A laser cutting company can cut many materials for sheet metal fabrication of small and large production runs.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
Our laser-cutting services are accurate, cost-effective, and create clean cuts that require minimal secondary processing. Other advantages include:
- Fast set-up and processing. Laser cutting does not require tool changes between cuts and the platform is the same for cutting different shapes.
- Precision. Features as small as 0.0002 inches (5 microns) can be cut reliably, with no thermal damage.
- Speed. Laser-cutting services are faster than traditional mechanical cutting methods, especially for complex geometries, with no tool changeover required.
- Quality. Laser-cut products show consistent quality, with micron tolerances and high aspect ratios, thanks to high constant speed and automated platforms.
Why Use CNC Cutting?
Laser cutting allows great flexibility, accuracy and top quality. It can cut very complex shapes.
State of the art automated laser cutters need little manpower. Combining their autonomous nature to their swiftness, Rapid Manufacture’s online laser cutting platform enables keeping your project costs low.
The accuracy tolerance for positioning is +/- 0.1 mm. Thermal effects on the material are small, therefore it is possible to cut small holes with a minimum diameter of 1/2 the material thickness as well as holes that can be threaded after cutting without requiring additional machining. The cutting line width it is smaller than 0.5 mm for most materials.
Rapid Manufacture’s manufacturing factory offers lasers that can cut a number of materials. These include carbon steel, stainless steel, high-strength steels as well as non-ferrous materials like aluminium, brass, copper and titanium. For metal plates thicker than 20 mm, see more about our plasma cutting capabilities. Aluminium cutting has its own rules.
