Laser Cutting

Micron Laser Technology provides laser cutting for consumer products, original equipment manufacturers, and printed circuit board manufacturers, as well as other customers in the aerospace, transportation, and medical industries. MLT’s numerous laser machining centers are equipped to handle volumes from prototyping to long production runs.

What Types Of Materials Can Lasers Cut?

No matter how intricate your design or prototype, Micron Laser Technology has the equipment and experience necessary to deliver parts and components laser cutting your precise design specifications in a variety of materials. 

Just some of the materials we can cut include: medical grade silicone, ceramics, phenolics, adhesives, metals, precious metals, plastics, rubbers, fabrics, silicon and so much more. Metals like mild steel, stainless steel, titanium are some of the most common resources we cut.

Custom Laser Cutting Metal Parts

If you need thin metal laser cut parts, Micron Laser Technology has the capability to cut a variety of metals in a range of thicknesses to accommodate intricate designs and features.

We specialize in the laser cutting of flat sheet metal, foils, or rollstock from .0005” to .5” in thickness. Some of the metals we can cut are:

We Offer:

• Faster Turn-Times
• Low contamination
• No Tooling Cost
• No Induce Part Stresses
• Ease of Part Modification
• Superior Dimensional & Positional Accuracy

Traditional CNC machining that uses a spindle and cutting tool for cutting. Laser machining replaces the physical router or drill bit with the laser beam itself. Traditional CNC router tools prevent sharp internal corners and have a tendency to ‘throw’ the part.

Laser routing or contouring can create near perfect 90 degree cuts and hold very close radial tolerances. Laser produced edges are as sharp and square as your design requires. Because there is no physical contact to the part, the laser will never ‘throw’ the part or degrade in cut quality due to tooling wear.

If you’re unsure which material is best for your component or laser cut parts, our expert laser manufacturing consultants can help you choose from a variety of materials we have in stock ready for immediate use. If we don’t have the materials our clients need on site, we can source anything our lasers can cut or use customer provided materials as well.

Customer-owned material can be stored/stocked on-site to reduce lead times and material costs.

CAD system integration and custom file converters enable flexible, laser manufacturing from customer-provided data. Although most file types are accepted, the preferred file types are Gerber, DXF, or other 2D formats.
