Expert Plasma/Laser Cutting in Wolverhampton
When people search for ‘laser cutting Wolverhampton’, they usually come to us with a specific part in mind but are not always sure which cutting method is best. Rather than giving a one size fits all answer, we look at the material, its thickness and the final application before recommending the right process. For some projects, laser cutting is the ideal choice. For thicker plates or structural components, plasma cutting is usually more practical and more cost effective.
We work with ferrous metals from 3 mm up to 300 mm thick, which means we can support everything from custom automotive components to conveyor parts. Wolverhampton manufacturers, whether they need regular batches of profiles or a one off cutting job, choose us because we offer a true in house, one stop service, including machining and finishing to complement our plasma and laser cutting.
Plasma Cutting Vs Laser Cutting For Wolverhampton Manufacturers
When it comes to cutting steel, both plasma cutting and laser cutting can be excellent options for your Wolverhampton business. However, choosing which method delivers the best precision for the best price can be tricky. Here’s how they differ:
Where Plasma Works Best
Plasma cutting is usually chosen for thicker steel plates and heavier industrial parts.
Where Laser Performs Well
Laser cutting is the best option when the job involves lighter sheet metal or designs with smaller details. It produces clean shapes on thin material.
How the Materials Differ
Plasma cutting is suited to most conductive steels while laser cutting can also work with certain non-metallic materials which makes it useful for more specialist applications.
What to Expect on Cost
For heavy plate work, plasma cutting provides a practical and cost effective solution. Laser cutting is more cost-effective for thinner material thicknesses but it becomes more expensive for anything above 6mm.
