What are the costs of laser cutting?

The answer to this question depends on several factors. The first being the material that needs to be cut. A laser can not only be used to cut different types of metals, but also non-metals such as wood, plastic or textiles. In addition to the type of material, the following factors also play a role in determining the price:

  • Quantity
  • Thickness of the material to be cut
  • Desired design

That last matter in particular is where the costs of laser cutting vary. Laser cutting allows for a lot of design freedom, which means that it is customised work, causing costs to vary for each laser cutting job. However, we have developed something that gives you quick and detailed information on the costs of laser cutting metal sheet material or pipes and tubes.

Advantages of laser cutting over other alternatives

Plasma cutting and water cutting can be referred to as alternatives within the 'cutting' process. Plasma cutting is a technique that is mainly used for sheet material with a thickness of 30 millimetres or more. This method is less accurate than laser cutting.

Laser cutting has a risk - albeit a small one - of warping due to the amount of heat released in this process. This may be a reason for some to choose water cutting. However, this is a relatively slow method. Punching is also an option. It may be a cheaper alternative to laser cutting, but it offers less flexibility. Laser cutting allows for free-shape cutting, which makes very complex contours possible.

Accurate, fast and flexible

What makes laser cutting an economically beneficial solution is the combination of:

  • Accuracy
  • Speed
  • and design freedom

These are largely thanks to the automated and digitised production processes that 247TailorSteel offers through Sophia®. The results are savings instead of costs.
