Benefits of Laser Cutting Services
Laser Cutting Services Standard Tolerances
Laser cutting services follow ISO 2768‑m standard tolerances. Cutting precision varies with sheet metal thickness. Thin plates achieve tighter accuracy. Secondary finishing is needed for ultra‑critical features on functional components.

|---|---|---|---|---|
0.5 mm – 6 mm | ± 0.05 mm – ± 0.10 mm | 0.15 mm – 0.25 mm | 0.05 mm / 100 mm | < 0.2 mm |
6 mm – 12 mm | ± 0.10 mm – ± 0.15 mm | 0.20 mm – 0.30 mm | 0.08 mm / 100 mm | < 0.3 mm |
12 mm – 20 mm | ± 0.15 mm – ± 0.20 mm | 0.25 mm – 0.35 mm | 0.10 mm / 100 mm | < 0.4 mm |
20 mm – 25 mm | ± 0.20 mm – ± 0.25 mm | 0.30 mm – 0.40 mm | 0.15 mm / 100 mm | < 0.5 mm |
Laser Cutting Service Capabilities
MXY Machining comprehensive Laser cutting services adopts CNC laser equipment. It produces complex geometry on various sheet metal. Supports prototype and batch production, accepts CAD files for fast‑turn custom metal component manufacturing.
We cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, galvanized steel and alloys. High-power lasers handle reflective metals stably, lightly rusted or coated sheets work with simple cleaning for flexible fabrication selection.
Lead Time for Laser Cutting Service
Lead time for laser cutting service depends on part size and batch production. Standard custom metal parts take 2‑5 business days. Rush order is available if required raw materials are in‑house stock.
Order Classification |
Project Features |
Standard Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
Standard Order | Simple regular shapes, small batches, conventional steel materials | 3–5 business days |
Complex & High-Volume Order | Intricate curves, dense small holes, large batch sizes, aluminum/stainless steel thick plates | 5–8 business days |
Expedited Rush Order | Emergency spare parts, urgent engineering components | 1–2 business days |
Laser Cutting Services Materials
Laser‑cutting services process carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper. It also handles non‑metals such as acrylic and plastic. Process performance varies with material type and sheet thickness for custom‑made components.

Surface Finishes for Laser Cutting Services
Laser cutting generates slight oxide residues and sharp edges. Deburring and oxide removal improve surface quality. Additional finishes like brushing and powder coating are available for aesthetic and functional metal parts.
As-Fabricated
Best for sheet metal fabrication cutting, bending, and welding with no secondary treatment.
Brushed
Best for mechanical brushing with abrasive belts creates a uniform directional linear grain pattern
Polished
Best for mechanical polishing with progressively finer compounds and buffing.
Anodized
Best for electrochemical process creates a hard, corrosion-resistant, dyeable aluminum oxide layer on aluminum sheet metal.
Bead Blasted
Best for high-pressure blasting with glass beads or aluminum oxide creates a uniform matte satin, non-reflective surface.
Galvanized
Best for excellent long-term corrosion protection for outdoor and structural applications.
Passivated
Best for chemical treatment (citric or nitric acid) removes free iron and contaminants from stainless steel surfaces
Black Oxide
Best for Chemical conversion coating creates a uniform matte black finish on steel sheet metal.
Painted
Best for good corrosion protection and decorative color ideal for parts requiring custom color matching, intricate masking, or multi-color finishes.
