LASER CUTTING VS WATERJET CUTTING – WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOUR PROJECT?
Laser cutting and waterjet cutting both offer high levels of precision, but each process is suited to different applications.
Laser cutting is ideal when:
- Cutting thin to medium-gauge metals
- Speed and efficiency are priorities
- Producing high-volume batches
- Fine detailing on thinner materials is required
Waterjet cutting is better suited when:
- Cutting very thick materials
- Working with heat-sensitive materials
- Cutting reflective metals such as copper or brass
- Material integrity is critical, with no heat-affected zone
Because we offer both laser cutting and waterjet cutting, we can advise on the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your application.
Laser Cutting – Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is laser cutting?
Laser cutting offers excellent accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for precision components, detailed profiles, and batch production where consistency is essential.
What materials can you laser cut?
We laser cut a range of metals including mild steel, stainless steel (304/316), aluminium, brass, and copper within thickness limits.
What file formats do you accept?
We can work from common CAD formats such as DXF and DWG. If you don’t have a suitable drawing, our CAD design service can help turn your idea into a cut-ready file.
Is laser cutting suitable for high-volume production?
Yes. Laser cutting is well suited to repeat production runs thanks to its speed, accuracy, and consistent results—ideal for batch parts and production components.
Can you cut thicker materials?
Laser cutting is most efficient on thin to medium-gauge metals. For very thick materials, our waterjet cutting service is often the best option for clean and precise results.
Do you offer nationwide delivery?
Yes. While we are based in the North West, we supply customers across the UK and can arrange reliable nationwide delivery.
