CNC Laser Cutting
Because of its high accuracy, efficiency and cost savings, laser cutting has emerged as one of today’s most popular metal fabrication processes. Laser technology provides precise cuts at fast speeds with outstanding repeatability, helping businesses maximize production while decreasing manual labor costs. Laser fabrication equipment delivers superior results over traditional methods like shearing and waterjet cutting, regardless of a project’s size or complexity.
The laser cutting process involves a precision laser beam that burns, melts or vaporizes a workpiece and a gas stream that removes the waste, creating a clean, smooth finish. Upon completion, the operator removes the workpiece from the equipment for a brief cooling period. Because the laser beam is highly concentrated, it ensures no scorching and produces minimal warping.

Laser cutting’s many advantages have made it the preferred fabrication choice of various industries, from automotive and medical manufacturing to heavy equipment and agricultural applications.
Several benefits that laser cutting delivers over traditional metal cutting processes include:
-
Cutting through a comprehensive range of materials without the added costs of tooling.
-
Reducing the amount of contamination on a workpiece.
-
Producing small holes and intricate shapes with exceptional edge quality.
-
Offering high precision and clean cuts to minimize product waste and spoilage.
-
Utilizing less energy and resources than conventional fabrication methods to produce the same amount of work.
-
Increasing workplace safety and minimizing employee injuries.
Types of Metal Laser Cutting Services We Offer
Shaping Steel Manufacturing Group is a leading provider of high-quality laser cutting services across Pennsylvania and the East Coast. We stand above the competition by offering superior technical knowledge, extensive manufacturing expertise and innovative equipment. Each project we undertake receives the highest attention to detail and a sense of urgency, regardless of the job’s size.
Our highly skilled sales team and supporting staff will help to ensure that your expectations and requirements are met and maintained start to finish. Our ISO 9001 certification and other accreditations emphasize our commitment to exceptional quality.
The two primary categories of laser cutting we offer include:
2D flat laser cutting:
Shaping Steel Manufacturing Group’s two-dimensional (2D) laser-cutting capabilities produce clean edges and tight tolerances with highly repeatable results. Our software systems are compatible with most computer-aided design (CAD) and drawing exchange format (DXF) files to ensure we meet precise specifications. Our 2D flat laser processes are ideal for cutting various materials, including carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, copper and similar metals.
3D tube laser cutting:
Our state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) laser-cutting processes go beyond our 2D capabilities by cutting shapes into 3D objects like tubes, channels, angles and beams with superior precision at high speeds. Three-dimensional cutting works well for large-lot production runs with irregular shapes requiring tight tolerances and precision. This process is also perfect for prototyping and quick-turnaround jobs.
