ARE YOU STILL CUTTING ALUMINUM WITH A ROUTER?

STOP! WE HAVE A BETTER WAY.

Rediscover the Power of a Laser

Everyone "knows" that lasers can power through acrylic and wood but are you still relying on outdated methods like routers or plasma cutters to cut through aluminum sheets? It's time to revisit the power of laser cutting in the sign-making industry. Laser cutting offers unparalleled precision, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness compared to other methods.

Laser Cutting

Consumable Items.

Requires an assist gas - air, oxygen or nitrogen are generally used.

  • Speed: Up to 1000 ipm
  • Accuracy: to 0.0005"
  • ​Kerf: As small as .002"

For acrylic, the laser achieves one-step operation with polished edges.  

No secondary operations are required Coroplast® can be accurately cut smoothly without any uncut flute showing or flattened edges due to flute orientation on the cut path.

Router Cutting

Consumable Items. 

Requires the use of router bits. Used most often are the 3/16" or 3/8" bits.

  • Speed: Up to 300 ipm

Accuracy:  to   0.01"

  • Kerf: As small as 1/8"

Materials processed on a router typically require a secondary finishing process due

to the rough/sharp edges that are produced. This process can double or triple the production time.

​

Conclusion

Switching to laser cutting means saying goodbye to the hassle and cost of replacing tooling It's not just more affordable than other methods, it eliminates tooling and the time in set up as well. The speed, repeatability, and excellent edge quality from laser cutting ensure that your projects are completed with the highest level of accuracy and efficiency.


With laser cutting, intricate details, and small holes can be processed with ease, thanks to the non-contact cutting process. Tool wear issues will be a thing of the past, and you'll enjoy consistent, high-quality cut edges every time. The small kerf allows for tight designs, and nesting options maximize material usage, saving you time and resources.


Don't let your projects fall behind the curve. Embrace the unmatched capabilities of laser cutting and revolutionize your sign-making process. Choose laser cutting as the cutting-edge solution that delivers exceptional results every time.
