What metals can a laser cutter cut?

Fiber laser cutters are optimized for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. With the right gas (oxygen, nitrogen, or air) you get burr‑free edges ready for welding, bending and finishing.

  • Carbon steel up to 30 mm (20 kW) with O2
  • Stainless steel up to 40 mm (20 kW) with N2
  • Aluminum up to 35 mm (high power) with N2
  • Brass & copper cutting using high‑brightness fiber source
Clean Edges Low Cost/Part High Speed
Laser cutting stainless steel and aluminum parts

How much laser power do I need?

Guideline for typical shop speeds on mild steel with O2 and stainless with N2. Actual results depend on gas, nozzle, optics and part geometry.

Bar chart of recommended power: 3kW up to 8mm, 6kW up to 16mm, 12kW up to 25mm, 20kW up to 40mm 3 kW ≤ 8 mm 6 kW ≤ 16 mm 12 kW ≤ 25 mm 20 kW ≤ 40 mm

Low Operating Cost

Fiber lasers are highly efficient. Pair with nitrogen generation or air‑assist to cut stainless and aluminum with minimal dross and lower gas spend.

Speed & Automation

Parallel shuttle tables, auto‑focus head, capacitive height sensing and intelligent piercing reduce cycle time and increase throughput.

Smart Nesting Software

Import DXF, DWG, and CAD files; auto‑nest parts for best sheet utilization and real‑time cost estimation.

Applications

  • Job‑shop fabrication and subcontracting
  • Industrial enclosures and control panels
  • HVAC ducts and architectural metalwork
  • Automotive, off‑road and aftermarket parts
  • Signage, advertising and furniture

Questions? Answered.

What thickness can a 6 kW fiber laser cut?

Typical ranges are up to ~16 mm mild steel and ~12 mm stainless at production speeds with the right gas and nozzle. For thicker plates, move to 12–20 kW.

Is fiber laser better than plasma for metal cutting?

For thin to medium thickness materials, fiber lasers offer cleaner edges, tighter tolerances and faster cycle times. Plasma is cost‑effective for very thick plate where edge quality is less critical.

What assist gas should I use?

Use oxygen for mild steel to boost speed, nitrogen for stainless and aluminum to prevent oxidation, and shop air for economical cutting when finish requirements allow.

How much does a laser cutter for metal cost?

Entry systems start around the price of a premium CNC plasma, while high‑power automated lines represent a larger investment. Contact us for a tailored quote and ROI analysis.
