Novelty Structures offers laser cutting services of carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium sheet metal in its factories based in Turkey.

Quality Control of Laser Cutting
The quality control starts from pre-process activities and concludes with functional testing and documentation. The below table outlines the necessary actions for quality management in laser cutting.


Laser Cutting Finishes
Metal finishes are surface treatments applied to metal products to improve their appearance, durability, or functionality. Here are some common types of metal finishes.
FAQ
Laser cutting is a manufacturing process that uses a high-powered laser beam to precisely cut, engrave, or shape materials. The laser beam is focused onto the material, melting, burning, or vaporizing it along a predefined path. This results in clean, accurate cuts with minimal material waste.
Laser cutting works on a wide range of materials, including:
- Metals: Steel, aluminium, stainless steel, brass, copper.
- Non-metals: Plastics, wood, glass, acrylic, and composites.
While highly effective, laser cutting does have limitations:
- Material Thickness: Thicker materials may require higher power or slower speeds, which could increase costs.
- Reflective Materials: Some materials, like copper and brass, can reflect laser energy, making them harder to cut.
- Initial Costs: The machinery and setup costs are significant, though long-term savings often offset this.
Typical tolerances depend on the material and equipment but generally range from ±0.1 mm to ±0.2 mm. High-precision equipment may achieve even tighter tolerances.
Several factors influence the cutting results, including:
- Material type and thickness
- Laser power and focus
- Cutting speed
- Gas type and pressure used during the cutting process
- Proper maintenance of the equipment
Lead times vary based on project complexity, material availability, and workload. For simple designs, lead times can be as short as 1–3 days, whereas complex projects may take longer.
Yes, laser cutting is suitable for both prototyping and high-volume production. Its repeatability ensures consistent results across large batches.
Laser cutting is generally non-contact, minimizing mechanical stress on materials. However, localized heat can cause slight thermal effects, such as discoloration or minor hardening, depending on the material.
The cost depends on material type, thickness, project complexity, and production volume. While the initial setup may be higher, laser cutting often reduces overall costs due to precision and minimal material waste.
Yes, laser cutting is highly effective for prototyping. It allows engineers to quickly iterate designs, test functionality, and refine geometries with minimal lead time.
