Can Brass Be Laser Cut

High-power laser beams absorb into the metal, making it possible to cut brass. Laser systems are capable of cutting sheets of brass to a high yield, resulting in reduced material waste and optimal sheet usage. Laser-processing brass allows for clean cutting with air assist, which greatly reduces or eliminates dross.

What materials should not be cut with a laser cutter?

Material:Danger:PVC (Poly VinylChloride) /vinyl/pleather/artificial leatherEmits pure chlorine gas when cut!ABSEmits cyanide gas and tends to meltThick ( >1mm ) Polycarbonate/LexanCut very poorly, discolor,catch fireHDPE/milk bottle plasticCatches fire and melts

Can you cut bronze with a laser?

Our CNC driven laser cutting machines are able to process even the most complex and intricate designs. We can laser cut perforations in copper or brass sheet to your specification. We’re also able to cut flat, pre-perforated copper/brass/bronze sheet to any drawing you provide. View our laser cutting tolerances here.
