Fiber Optic Laser Cutting Services – Advantages & Applications
HOW DO FIBER OPTIC LASER CUTTING SYSTEMS WORK, AND HOW CAN THEY BENEFIT YOUR CUSTOM FABRICATION PROJECT?
Fiber optic laser cutting systems are one of the many state-of-the-art tools available to modern CNC fabrication shops. Compared to traditional metal cutting solutions, laser cutting services have the capability to be both quicker and more accurate.
These advanced metalworking tools perform close-tolerance cuts at rapid speeds. Precisely controlled via custom CNC programming, laser cutters can provide a higher degree of repeatability while simultaneously speeding up production. That’s why they have quickly become such invaluable tools for custom sheet metal fabricators throughout the industry.
Advantages of Fiber Optic Laser Cutting
High-precision metal cuts with a high degree of repeatability.
High-speed metal cutting increases throughput for high-volume projects.
Automated part loading and unloading further increases throughput and allows for lights-out manufacturing.
A non-contact cutting solution: no loss or variance in cutting quality due to degradation of tooling – a common issue with conventional metal cutting techniques.
A highly efficient and sustainable custom metalworking service.

Essentially, fiber optic laser cutting systems use extremely powerful, carefully amplified light as a heating source to cut through metals. The light is generated from a laser power source and channeled through a high-power fiber optic cable. The cable is routed into a specially engineered lens which hyper-focuses the beam precisely onto the material below.
The hyper-focused laser beam creates an extremely hot focal point which precisely cuts through material in an instant – even high-strength industrial metals, including stainless steel and titanium.
