Different laser cutting technologies for various applications
CO2 Laser Cutting Machines
The most common laser cutter type because of their relatively high energy efficiency and high power output ratio. Best suited for cutting, boring, and engraving services.
Nd Laser Cutting Machines
Nd lasers have a high energy, and are used for boring and welding. A disadvantage of Nd lasers are their low repetition efficiency.
Nd:Yag Laser Cutting Machines
Nd:Yag Lasers are high powered lasers and suitable for cutting thick materials. Nd:Yag lasers can be used for boring, welding, and engraving. A disadvantage of Nd:Yag lasers is that they are more expensive to operate.
Applications of Laser Cutting
Blank Preparation
Laser cutters can cut many materials with high precision, making it perfect for preparing flat patterns or material blanks.
Rapid Prototyping
The range of materials available, low cost per unit, and speed of production makes laser cutting a great option for prototyping.
End-Use Production
Large format cutting, vast material options, and high throughput have made laser cutting a favorable technology for end-use parts.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
Durability
Laser Cutting produces highly durable parts well-suited for both functional laser-cut prototypes and end-use production.
Scalability
All sheet metal parts are built on-demand and with lower setup costs compared to other manufacturing processes. Order as little as a single prototype up to 10,000 production parts.
Material Selection
Choose from a variety of materials across a wide range of strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion resistance.
Rapid Turnaround
Combining the latest cutting, bending, and punching with automated technologies, Artemis 3D provides instant sheet quotes that can often ship the same week.

An Overview of Laser Cutting
The Basics of Laser Cutting
Laser cutting directs a high-powered laser through optics to cut materials for industrial applications. Laser cutting is both more precise and less energy-consuming than plasma cutting but has an upper threshold on the thickness of the material being cut.
The Laser Cutting Process
A laser cutting machine is a type of CNC machine that uses a thin, high-powered focused laser beam to cut materials. Laser cutters focusing optics are used to direct electrical energy into a high-density light beam, and CNC is used to manage either the workpiece or the laser beam. The material processed by the laser cutter is then melted, burned, vaporized, or blown away by a jet of oxygen or nitrogen.
Advantages of Laser Cutting Services
The laser cutting process offers several advantages over traditional mechanical cutting or CNC machining processes, including quicker production, decreased contamination of the workpiece, and reduced chance of warping. A laser cutter produces clean laser cut parts and has a small chance of operator error making them great for fast prototyping.
Artemis 3D's custom laser cutting services offer a cost-effective on-demand solution for your sheet metal fabrication needs, including the material, details, and size of the project. From fast, low-volume prototypes to high-quality, high-volume production runs, Artemis 3D's massive partner network has the ideal shop and the ideal machines for the job.
Alternatives to Laser Cutting
Laser Cutting has limitations on the thickness of the material being cut. Laser cutting can cut up to 4 inches of material. For materials thicker than 4 inches, use waterjet cutting or plasma cutting services.
