Plasma Cutting vs Laser Cutting

Considering both water jet cutting and laser cutting for an upcoming metal fabrication project? Here are a few factors that make laser cutting the obvious choice.
Of course, there are some instances where the water jet cutting makes sense. This process involves forcing high-pressure water mixed with an abrasive (ie. garnet or aluminum oxide) through a nozzle to form a jet stream.
Water jet cutting could be chosen over laser cutting when cutting substances other than metals. This includes glass, rubber, stone, ceramics and very thick metals (up to 12” thick).
Due to the high capital investment of laser technology, however, few metal cutting shops purchase this complex machinery. At Automated Metal Processing, we felt the investment was best aligned with our high standards for quality, efficiency and productivity. As such, the volume of work we can accommodate means a better product and competitive pricing for you, with unbeatable turnaround times with the most advanced automated laser cutting machine in Western Canada.
