Using 3-D Technology to Reduce Turn-Around
Times, Improve Quality and Reduce Manufacturing
Costs…
Why use 3-D laser cutting? There are several advantages to choosing 3-D technology the primary one being the reduction of manufacturing costs due the increase in precision and repeatability. Think of the implications of a laser cutting technology that can be utilized on a product after it has been formed and welded! In fact, while a part is being designed and manufactured the laser path can simultaneously be programmed to perform the trimming and hole making operations – so when the part is ready, so is the laser. Turn-around times can be reduced in most cases from 3-4 weeks down to 3-4 days! 3-D Laser cutting can replace many drilling, milling, and cutting operations with high precision at reduced costs.
The precision of the 3-D Laser cutting and the ability to duplicate that precision time after time assures exceptional quality for the finished product. Smart manufacturers know that their survival depends on how quickly they can bring new high quality products to market. By utilizing highly flexible, computer controlled 3-D laser cutting equipment to punch, drill, notch pierce and trim – they achieve just that. The applications are countless! This 3-D process works particularly well with complicated jobs such as intersecting cylinders or parts with unique whole geometries. By replacing the boring mill process, 3-D Laser cutting is a fast and inexpensive way to add precision features to any assembly process.
