Precision Cutting Benefits

Advantages of Fiber Laser Cutting

Advanced CNC laser cutting technology providing narrow kerfs, minimal thermal distortion, and rapid turnaround for custom sheet metal parts.

Tolerance of ±0.1 mm

CNC-controlled laser cutting produces accurate profiles and precise feature locations for standard-sized precision sheet metal components.

High-Precision Cut Kerf

No Dedicated Cutting Dies

Parts are cut directly from digital 3D/2D CAD data, completely eliminating hard tooling costs and making engineering design revisions faster and more economical.

Zero Tooling Investment

Complex 2D Profiles

Laser cutting easily produces intricate outlines, small holes, slots, ventilation cutouts, and tight internal radii that are difficult to stamp or mill conventionally.

Intricate Geometries & Radii

Controlled Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ)

A concentrated, high-density fiber laser beam and optimized cutting speeds strictly limit thermal input, effectively reducing edge warping in thin metal sheets.

Minimized Thermal Distortion

Efficient Material Utilization

Intelligent CAM nesting software tightly nests multiple parts across raw metal sheets, dramatically lowering scrap rates and saving raw stock costs.

Smart CAM Auto-Nesting

Consistent Batch Quality

Validated CNC cutting programs and monitored laser beam focal parameters ensure identical dimensional consistency from prototypes to repeat volume runs.

Repeatable Serial Runs

Laser Cutting Accuracy and Tolerances

For standard-sized metal parts with conventional material thicknesses, TENGHUI can typically maintain a laser-cutting dimensional tolerance of ±0.1 mm.

Long cutting lengths, large overall dimensions, thick plates, and very small features may require wider tolerances. Material flatness, heat accumulation, cutting kerf, and part geometry can all affect final dimensional accuracy. Achievable tolerances are confirmed after reviewing the material specification and technical drawings.

±0.1 mm Standard Laser Tolerance

For standard-sized metal parts with conventional sheet thicknesses, TENGHUI maintains a precision dimensional tolerance of ±0.1 mm. Extended lengths, thick plates, thermal accumulation, and micro features are confirmed following drawing and material specification review.

Feature Tolerance Capabilities
Laser-Cut Feature Typical Capability Important Considerations

Precision Sheet Metal Workflow

How Our Laser Cutting Process Works

From initial CAD data validation to dynamic nesting, multi-gas beam calibration, and final dimensional inspection.

01

CAD File & Drawing Review

We review the material grade, sheet thickness, overall dimensions, tolerances, order quantities, and critical edge features specified in your CAD models and 2D engineering drawings.

CAD Ingestion & Verification
02

CNC Programming & Nesting

Part outlines are translated into optimized laser cutting toolpaths. Intelligent CAM nesting arranges multiple components across standard metal sheets to maximize material utilization and speed.

Smart CAM Sheet Nesting
03

Cutting Parameter Setup

Fiber laser power, focal beam position, feed rate, and assist gases (Oxygen, Nitrogen, or compressed dry air) are fine-tuned precisely according to metal alloy type, plate thickness, and edge finish.

Gas & Beam Calibration
04

Laser Cutting & Inspection

Components are laser cut under continuous process monitoring. Slag removal, key dimensional checks, hole positions, deburring, and lot counts are strictly verified before packaging and shipment.

QA Verification & Slag Free
Workflow Assurance: Every step from digital file ingestion to final dimensional verification is rigorously controlled to maintain production efficiency, burr-free edges, and absolute dimensional accuracy.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

DFM Guidelines for Laser-Cut Metal Parts

Essential design parameters and geometric limits to ensure clean piercing, narrow kerfs, structural flatness, and prevent thermal distortion.

01

Minimum Hole Diameter

≥ Material Thickness

The minimum laser-pierced hole diameter should ideally be equal to or greater than the sheet thickness (D ≥ T). Smaller holes can cause piercing blowouts, taper errors, or slag accumulation.

Prevents Piercing Slag & Taper
02

Minimum Slot Width

1.0 – 1.5× Thickness

Slot and cutout widths should generally measure at least 1.0 to 1.5 times the material thickness. Narrower slots require engineering review based on the specific metal alloy and laser assist gas.

Ensures Clean Beam Clearance
03

Internal Radii & Corner Relief

Kerf Radius Natural

Internal corners naturally retain a slight radius formed by the laser beam kerf diameter. When mating components require perfectly sharp inside corners, add corner relief notches or dog-bone undercuts.

Corner Undercuts for Mating
04

Slender Tabs & Narrow Webbing

Thermal Sensitivity

Long, thin tabs and narrow strips are susceptible to thermal warpage and loss of plate flatness during cutting. To maintain structural integrity, design wider webs or allocate looser dimensional tolerances.

Thermal Warpage Mitigation
05

Feature Spacing & Web Distance

Thermal Web Space

Placing cutouts too close together leads to localized heat accumulation, causing burn-through or deformed edges. Adequate spacing between adjacent holes preserves strict dimensional accuracy.

Prevents Localized Overheating
06

CAD File & Drawing Standards

STEP / PDF / DXF

Please provide 3D STEP/STP models alongside dimensioned 2D PDF, DWG, or DXF drawings (1:1 scale). Explicitly define material grade, nominal thickness, total quantity, and critical tolerance bands.

FAQ About Laser Cutting

1. What dimensional tolerances can TENGHUI achieve with fiber laser cutting?

For standard-sized metal parts with conventional material thicknesses, our typical laser-cutting tolerance is ±0.1 mm. Long parts, large dimensions, thick plates, and very small features may require wider tolerances. Final tolerances are confirmed after reviewing the drawings and material requirements.

2. Does TENGHUI provide laser cutting for non-metal materials?

Our in-house fiber laser cutting service is dedicated exclusively to metal sheet materials. For non-metal materials such as acrylic, wood, and certain plastics or rubber materials, we can arrange laser cutting through qualified manufacturing partners. Material compatibility, tolerances, lead time, and pricing are confirmed after project review.

3. What are the minimum hole diameter and slot width for laser cutting?

As a general engineering guideline, the minimum hole diameter should be approximately equal to or greater than the material thickness ($D \ge T$). The recommended minimum slot width is approximately 1.0–1.5 times the material thickness. Smaller features require engineering review.

4. Can laser cutting produce perfectly square internal corners?

No. Laser-cut internal corners naturally retain a small radius determined by the laser beam diameter and cutting kerf width. When mating parts require sharp square corners, suitable corner reliefs (such as dog-bone undercuts) or additional assembly clearance should be included in the design.

5. How do you control the heat-affected zone and part distortion?

We control thermal input through optimized laser power parameters, adaptive cutting sequences, adequate feature spacing, programmed lead-in positions, and heat-dissipating nesting layouts. Thin sheets, closely spaced cutouts, and long narrow geometries are monitored closely to prevent thermal distortion.

6. How do nitrogen and oxygen affect laser-cut edge quality?

Nitrogen assist gas is commonly used for stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass to prevent edge oxidation and deliver a clean, shiny, weld-ready cut edge. Oxygen assist gas is used for thicker carbon steel to improve piercing and cutting speed, though it naturally leaves a thin oxide layer on the cut edge.

7. What metal materials can TENGHUI laser cut?

We laser cut carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Available cutting thicknesses and achievable edge finishes depend on the material grade, part geometry, and drawing specifications.

8. Do laser-cut edges require deburring?

It depends on the material type, sheet thickness, assist gas selected, and functional application. Thin sheets typically exhibit smooth, burr-free edges, while thicker plates may develop slight dross or piercing burrs. Specific cosmetic or mechanical edge deburring requirements should be indicated on your 2D drawing.

9. Can laser cutting produce threads, countersinks, or blind holes?

No. Laser cutting is strictly a 2D through-cutting process. Functional threads, precision countersinks, counterbores, and blind holes require secondary CNC machining or tapping/drilling operations, and should be clearly called out on your 2D engineering drawings.

10. What files and information are required for a quotation?

To ensure a fast and accurate quote within 24 hours, please provide:

  • 3D CAD files (STEP or STP format preferred)
  • 2D vector drawings (1:1 scale DXF, DWG, or dimensioned PDF)
