Laser cuttable designs

Would cutting these parts with a laser be the cheapest way to make them ?. A CNC plasma cutter would be cheaper. Using plate shearing machine may also be cheaper still. If you were making only 1 off plate shears, many off plasma way cheaper than laser.

Actually yes, it would be cheaper to cut it with plasma but still it remains a good example of laser cut parts.The designing principles are the same.

...it depends on your laser/plasma/shear

A cnc cutting option (plasma or laser) easily might be your cheapest option ..avoiding coping and incorporating slot tabs can reduce your production costs drastically even if you cut time is fractionally longer.

What is cheaper varies wildly depending on equipment. If you have a 10k Fiber Laser you can cut these flats faster than you can shear them.

You cant exclusively cut this with any single machine so its hardly a showcase. You have tubing that needs a tube laser or a saw...you have angle that needs a laser/plasma/shear cutting or a saw that cuts angle.

The only way this is a showcase on a laser ready design is if you have both a sheet laser and a tube laser...

I'm not trying to rip you down, but you can redesign this to be made exclusively out of sheet if you incorporate more channel/angle shapes into your design and truly cut them on one machine. Further improvement (for manufacturing) can come from slot tabbing parts together so it self fixtures itself.

hı everyone

ı want to ask about laser cutting for thin nylon bag

To elaborate on my question;

Can laser be used instead of cutting knives used in roll bread packaging? and can this laser to be used work inside the thin long hole with a 1 cm pass? I would appreciate your help.

Well, i saw your model and think than the design be more adapted to the laser cutting process. The quantity of cuts should be aminorated if you discard the use of tubes and generate a geometry than meet the requirements of than your process and your customers aproved.
