Sheet metal fabrication usually cuts with hand tools, handheld tin snips, electric shears, electric scissors, electric nibblers, wire cutters, plasma cutters, flame cutters, CNC punching machines, CNC shearing machines, water jet cutters, and laser cutters. Various sheet metal cutting tools have their advantages and disadvantages, the accuracy, speed and cost all vary.

What Is A Sheet Metal Cutter?

A sheet metal cutter is a power tool that cuts metal plates into various shapes and silhouettes with a handheld tin snip, electric shear, scissor, nibbler, laser beam, wire, plasma, oxyacetylene flame, and water jet. Sheet metal cutters can cut cold rolled sheets (SPCC) and hot rolled sheets (SHCC), galvanized steel, copper (true copper), copper, aluminum sheet (, , duralumin), aluminum profiles, stainless steel (mirror, brushed, frosted). Although traditional sheet metal cutting tool has their unique advantages, however, its cutting accuracy, quality and speed are far inferior to those of laser sheet metal cutting machines.

What Is A Sheet Metal Laser Cutter?

A sheet metal laser cutter is an automatic precision laser metal cutting system that cuts metal plates of aluminum, aluminized steel, carbon steel, copper, brass, galvanized steel, galvalume, high strength steel, hot rolled steel, stainless steel, and titanium into various shapes and contours with a fiber laser beam. Compared with hand tools, CNC laser sheet metal cutting features high precision, high quality, high speed, and flexible processing (dieless), and has become the first choice to cut metal parts in sheet metal fabrication, construction machinery, saw blade cutting, grain machinery, textile machinery, agricultural machinery, computer case, electrical cabinet, and elevator manufacturing. With a CNC controller, it can automatically handle complex and delicate jobs on sheet metals. With a drill attachment, it can even cut holes in metal plates. With the popularization of laser technology, it is gradually replacing CNC punching, CNC shearing, plasma cutting, flame cutting, and more metal cutting tools.

How Does A Laser Cut Through Sheet Metal?

A laser cutting machine uses a DSP or CNC controller (with CAM software) to focus a high-powered laser beam onto sheet metal, heating and melting or vaporizing the material along a CAD-designed tool path to create precise metal cuts. Laser metal cutters work with an auxiliary gas (such as oxygen or nitrogen) to blow away the slag to prevent oxidation for clean cuts, and laser cutting far exceeds traditional mechanical cutting in terms of precision and speed, making it an ideal tool for cutting complex geometries and intricate edges in modern sheet metal fabrication.

Laser Sheet Metal Cutter Applied Industries

Laser sheet metal cutters are widely applied across various industries due to their accuracy, speed and efficiency, including aerospace for creating complex components, automotive manufacturing for precision part cutting and shaping, advertising sign making, precision machinery manufacturing, personalized customization for metal home decorations and cabinets, tool and die creation, medical device manufacturing, electronics for precision circuit board production, construction for structural metal cuts, jewelry for intricate designs, and general metal fabricators.

Laser Cuttable Sheet Metal Materials

Laser sheet metal cutting machines are versatile tools used to cut a wide range of metal materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, mild steel, tool steel, galvanized steel, silicon steel, aluminum, brass, copper, nickel, titanium, magnesium, iron, silver, gold, and various alloys, making them ideal for modern metal fabrication. They are able to quickly and precisely cut through thin sheets using lower laser power, and thicker plate using higher laser power, resulting in smooth and clean cuts for intricate designs, prototypes, and production runs, enhancing efficiency and product quality.
