Laser Cutting for Precision

The process of laser cutting in Toronto is ubiquitous across a large range of industries. Commonly used to fabricate parts within the automotive and aerospace industries, it is a favourable method of metal cutting due to its level of precision. Precision-intensive metal components such as gaskets, nozzles, circuit boards, solar cells and panels benefit from a higher level of precision offered by laser cutting. Luckily Baseline Custom Fabrication offers the latest in state-of-the-art laser cutting equipment to effectively fabricate intricate metal components with relative ease.

Today we’ll go in depth with regards to why laser cutting in Toronto is a favourable choice among clients and fabricators alike.

How is precision achieved with laser cutting?

Laser cutting technology was first introduced as a C02 laser part way through the twentieth century, and cuts were made manually by a technician. Even in its earlier days, laser cutting offered more precision light that cuts through the metal product. Today, almost the entire process is automated whereby computer programming technologies control the design and the laser-cutting process.

The Advent of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Computer-Aided Design

The complete automation of laser cutting is guided by computer numerical control otherwise known as CNC. CNC systems use computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs to read prototypes before cutting the final product.

CAD technologies are used in creating, analyzing, modifying, and documenting 3D designs – effectively eliminating the need for manual drafting in the design process. CAM applications guide the laser cutting machine tools where to make cuts in accordance with the product’s design. CAM feeds the command to the machines to automate the production process.
