Precision laser cutting for thin-gauge metal parts—built for prototypes, short runs, and production-ready designs.

Materials We Commonly Laser Cut

We laser cut materials commonly used in precision components, spring applications, and formed parts. Our process is best suited for thin-gauge materials where accuracy and edge quality matter.

​

Typical materials include:

​

• Stainless steel

• Spring steel

• Carbon steel

• Brass

• Select copper alloys

​​

Material selection depends on the part’s function, forming requirements, and environment. We’re happy to review your design and help align material choice with manufacturability.

Optimized for Thin Gauge and Precision Parts

Our laser cutting process is focused on thin-gauge materials and precision flat components. This allows us to maintain consistent quality, tight tolerances, and clean part profiles.

​

Common applications include:

​

• Clips and retainers

• Flat springs

• Brackets

• Electrical contacts

• Small, intricate components

Laser cutting is especially effective for parts that require accuracy before forming or additional processing.

From Prototype to Production

Laser cutting is often the first step in developing a new part. It allows for fast turnaround and design validation without the cost of hard tooling.

Once a design is finalized, parts can often transition into higher-volume production using processes like fourslide or precision stamping.

​

This approach helps:

​

• Validate designs quickly

• Reduce upfront risk

• Improve long-term part cost

• Streamline production

We support both stages, helping move parts from prototype into full production efficiently.

When Laser Cutting Makes Sense

Laser cutting is the right choice when:

​

• You’re developing prototypes
Quickly produce functional parts for testing and design validation without committing to tooling.

• Your design is still evolving
Make fast revisions and iterate on geometry, hole sizes, and features with minimal cost impact.

​

• You need short runs or bridge production
Ideal for small batches or getting parts in hand while tooling for stamping or fourslide is being built.

​

• You’re working with thin-gauge materials
Laser cutting performs well on stainless steel, spring steel, carbon steel, and copper alloys in thinner thicknesses.

• You want to avoid tooling costs
