Laser Cutting

Industrial laser cutting

Laser cutting of precious metals allows detailed parts to be produced with high precision in small or large batch sizes. The laser can cut through virtually all the commonly used precious metal alloys, giving excellent cut quality with very narrow cuts for the finest of filigree designs.

The laser as a cutting tool offers several distinct advantages:

Cut through in a single pass
Even parts over 2mm thick (depending on alloy) can be cut through with very high quality and reasonable cutting speeds without the need for repeated passes.

Fine kerf width
The laser kerf width can be as low small as 20 microns in fine sheet material and this allows very small radii to be used leading to crisp and detailed designs in even the smallest of components.

Good edge quality at higher speeds
The high repetition rate of the laser means that fine cutting with excellent edge quality can be achieved at speeds that make good commercial sense.

Minimum product finishing
There is minimum burr on the cut edges resulting in the smallest amount of post processing possible (components are easily polished in volume).

Ease of personalization
The flexibility of the laser allows personalization of brooches and necklaces and other items of jewelry, with software to input the required graphics and text.
