Yes we can cut acrylic up to 1.5″ thick and 1″ thick with a nice fire polished edge.

At this time we can’t cut Aluminum thicker than 1/32 thick and we can’t cut copper or brass.

No we can not cut copper, brass or bronze.

Yes we can.

Most types of foam we can cut up to 2″ but as the material gets thicker the edge kerf gets more beveled due to the beam getting out of focus.

Yes we can galvanized steel up to 11ga or 1/8″

Yes we can cut gaskets and seals.

We can etch glass, sand carve it, sand blast it but we can’t cut it.

Most plastics we cut unless they contain Vinyl or PVC (Polyvinylcloride).  Sintra one example of a PVC plastic. These plastics create chloride gas when cut and are deadly.

Yes, up to 1″ thick.

Yes we can cut wood up to 1″ thick.

Yes we can laser cut hot rolled steel up to 7 ga or 3/16″ thick

Yes we can cut stainless steel up to 13ga.

Yes and no.  We have a setup fee and just charge time and material for the part.  If you order 1 part that cost $5.00 to make you pay $5.00 plus the setup fee.  If you order 100 parts you can amortize the setup fee over a 100 part so the per part cost is much lower.  We do offer price breaks on both time and material if the order gets very large do to the fact we can order material in bulk.  We also offer a service call down time services.  If you have a part or product you need a constant supply of and are not in a hurry we will just keep you job in cue and cut when the machine has a gap in jobs (down time).  For this service we do not charge a setup fee everytime we run a small batch.

Sorry, no we don’t offer that service.

Yes it does over time if not maintained.

Our large machine can hold a 50″ x 120″ sheet with a maximum cutting or engraving area of 48″ x 96″.

As deep as you want, we have very powerful flying gantry machines that can make deep burn relatively fast. Our machines are 2-20 times as powerful as most laser engravers.

Depends on the size.  We are about as fast as you get for our industry.  We can turn around jobs as fat as same day.  There is of course a fee associated with rush jobs.  Our standard lead time on small to medium jobs is 5 day from the time we have artwork and material in house.

Our bed / table is 48″ x 96″ and can hold material 51″ x 120″.

Our tables have a large range of motion and can accommodate up to 17″ deep part.

It helps keep pricing level.  The more you order the better the price.  If you order 1 small part it might take 30 seconds cut or engrave but we still have the emails, design time and laser setup.  This way we can charge the true price for the part let say $0.50 and the setup fee covers our other costs.  Next time you order and it’s 1000 part we still charge you the same $0.50 but the setup fee is amortized over 1000 parts.
