Kapton (Polyimide) and PEEK (polyetheretherketone)
Two materials our laser cutting service sees often are Kapton and PEEK. Both cut very nicely on the UV laser cutting systems and both are used for highly technical appications in a wide variety of industries. For our purposes, we know that both Kapton and PEEK laser cut with very little carbon residue, hold tolerances […]
Laser cutting titanium
Titanium is an interesting material to laser cut because of the thermal conductivity and reaction to oxygen. Laser cutting services such as ours work with this material in thin foil form and need to be well versed in material handling just as much as cutting. The benefit of laser cutting these materails is that you […]
Design 2 Part magazine featuring laser cutting services
Small parts that were laser cut from ultra-thin film material Photo courtesy of A-LaserAs parts continue to shrink in size, engineers are finding the precision they need in a cost-cutting process Often seen as a good method for prototyping parts, laser cutting is sometimes thought to be too expensive for use in production. But […]
