Laser Machining and Electron Beam Machining

Laser machining technology uses an intense beam of light from a laser of different widths for a variety of applications. Some applications done with a laser machine include cutting, slotting and creating holes.

This technology can be used to help fabricated many different types of materials. Some types of materials laser machining can be used in fabrication of are carbon fiber, composites, ceramics, glass, marble, metals, nylon, plastics, vinyl and thin metal foils.

Laser machining is used to produce a roughened surface on metals, ceramics and glass. This technology is also used for marking material surfaces. In this process a high intensity laser beam is passed through a stencil of a mirror and onto the area of the material being marked.

Metal Working Software

Metal working software has revolutionized the
metal fabrication industry. Metalworking software creates intricate and accurate designs in miniature metal parts, as well as in the production of large-scale sheet metal applications that require precision and repetitive production that call for constant calculations and measurements. This can quite time-consuming when done without the aid of a computerized process.

Metal working software programs CNC machines during the fabrication process. Additional programs help smooth the transition between a client’s designs created with a particular software program and the manufacturer’s software that actually produces the parts.
