If there is a question about what the laser cut looks like on your material, send us a piece, we'll cut something out and send it back, fair enough? On some materials the laser leaves a black edge, which is often desirable.

The laser has the capability of making depth cuts or marking without cutting through. This is great for marking assembly positions or for detail on visual products, like business card holders and is faster than engraving, thus more cost effective. It’s just great for a small amount of text and will be done at the same time as the through cuts. On some materials, for instance solid surface, we (or you) need to wipe some color in the cut so it stands out, on others, like in some woods, the cut line is enough. This process does not replace high quality laser engraving by a long shot. Go to Laser Engraving for that.

Use another color for your score lines or text in your drawings. We can even make the score lines a little wider if you want. This also helps text to be more visible.

Metal Laser Cutting

We are not able to cut metal with our equipment (although we can mark on metal). There are lots of shops who do cut metal. Here are links to two of them in our area:

Northwest Technologies, Inc.

Usher Precision Manufacturing

Both shops offer a range of services including laser cutting, forming, and fabrication. Both shops will handle small jobs and large production runs.
