Precision metal parts applications
Precision metal parts usually play a highly functionally relevant role in their applications. This results in very high demands on the quality and reliability of the manufactured components. Filters and screens, springs or complex washers and rings, for example, are manufactured as cutting parts of this type across all industries. Due to the high cost-effectiveness - even with the smallest batch sizes - there are almost no limits to the range of applications.
The challenge with such high demands on precision and quality is to manufacture them cost-efficiently and economically. This is now easily possible with modern laser systems - especially from LPKF.
manufacturing precision metal parts with the laser
The laser can be used to implement a wide variety of designs and material thicknesses of precision metal parts. The laser meets a wide range of design requirements and the different material properties of the metals. Due to the powerful fiber laser, the parts can even be manufactured from various, thicker (non-ferrous) metals. There are virtually no limits to the variety of materials themselves, as for example LPKF's PowerCut can be used to process various (non-ferrous) metals and ceramics, among other materials, without any problems.

Our machines are compatible with a wide range of materials, including, but not limited to, the following:
● Stainless Steel ● Nickel
● Molybdenum ● Titanium
● Aluminium ● Other non-ferrous metals
● Ceramics ● And much more!
Our StencilLaser machines will be able to cut these materials with unmatched precision and efficiency – want to know whether they’ll be compatible with your use case? Contact our experts and get your personal consultation.
Advantages of manufacturing precision metal parts with laser
There are virtually no limits to the material diversity of powerful laser systems such as the PowerCut. A wide variety of metals, such as stainless steel, nickel, molybdenum or titanium, and also different ceramics can be processed with the systems.
In terms of the process, the laser offers another advantage: it works in a very environmentally friendly way. Laser processing does not require any further auxiliary materials, as is the case with etching, which would have to be disposed of afterwards. In addition, the laser is virtually wear-free and reduces the necessary ablation, i.e. material consumption, to an absolute minimum.
