Laser Cutting
At METCOM Inc., our investment in state-of-the-art lasers allows us to produce extremely close tolerance parts, cost-effective, in both low and high-volume quantities. Laser cutting is extremely versatile, and by keeping tight control over beam profiles, we can cut extremely fine contours and delicate features with clean edges. Along with 5’ x 10’ worktables, our gaseous and solid state laser cutters allow us to accurately and consistently hold tolerances up to ±0.005”.
We handle all types of raw sheet materials up to 3/8” thick aluminum; 1/4” mild steel, stainless steel, steel alloys; and some plastics. Advanced nesting software allows us to maximize material utilization, and laser cut parts generally need no additional finishing. Robust measurement and inspection ensure we meet your most stringent quality requirements.
Our motivated team is committed to providing 100% customer satisfaction. We have the flexibility to offer very short lead times and fast turnaround. Contact us at any time for more information or a quote.
General Capabilities | Contract Manufacturing Custom Prototype |
