Laser cutting service is often used on structural, piping materials, or flat sheet metal. When you are in need to cut metals, laser beams create an ideal process. This technology creates edge-free cuts and can speed up the production process. Since laser cutting has limited operator intervention, it can minimise human error. It’s also cost-efficient because its accuracy limits wastage. With all...

Surface finishing is important when using reactive metals like ductile iron and carbon steel. When these surfaces left unprotected, the iron in these metals reacts with oxygen to form rust. This means that the colourful exteriors aren’t just for decorations, they are barriers that prevent corrosion. Metal parts can be finished with either Powder Coat or paint. While both serve similar function...

Remember your childhood experiment wherein you mobilised the sun’s rays over a magnifying glass and focused the rays on a piece of paper to set it on fire? Now, can you further imagine a metal sheet worker pinpointing his welding torch over a steel bar to cut it up into several pieces? The Laser Principle This is the same principle that applies in laser cutting: high-intensity light (focused...
