Laser cutting is great for precision work. With our tips, you'll get the best results.
Minimum dimensions
Parts smaller than 5 x 5 mm may be lost during cutting.
Do you still need parts smaller than 5 x 5 mm? Then you can make sure they stay in the plate with tabs.
What are tabs?
Tabs are small breaks in the cutting line of about 0.5 mm. Also known as tabs or bridges.
Parts smaller than 10 x 10 mm minimum 1 tab
Parts up to 50 x 50 mm two to three tabs
Parts larger than 50 x 50 mm more than 3 tabs
Cut width
When drawing small parts, keep in mind the cut width.
The cutting width of the laser beam, or cutting loss, is between 0.15 and 0.2 mm depending on the material.
When you draw a line, half the cutting width disappears on both sides.
An example with a cutting width of 0.2 mm:
You can compensate for the cut width in your drawing. This is necessary, for example, to make close-fitting joints.
