The Advantages of Laser Cutting at S&W:
High-Speed, Rapid Turnaround
With CNC automation, our laser cutting systems can produce full runs of precision-fabricated parts with quick turnaround. Since no custom tooling is required, we can typically meet our customers’ rapid turnaround requirements.
Complex Shapes and Closer Tolerances
Our laser cutting services excel at meeting complex fabrication requirements, including difficult-to-produce shapes and exceptionally close tolerances of +/- .005”. Moreover, advanced CNC integration ensures all part features and tolerances are perfectly repeatable from one part to the next.
Minimal Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ)
Unlike conventional CNC machining and similar cutting methods, laser cutting minimizes the heat-affected zone on the workpiece. As a result, material distortion is reduced, further improving precision and repeatability.
Material Versatility
S&W strives to offer our customers flexibility in design and material choice. Our laser cutting systems are compatible with all common metals, including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and titanium. We can offer enhanced speed and precision regardless of material choice.
