6 kW fibre laser cutting for precision sheet metal
Fast and consistent cutting of steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Ideal for complex geometries and mass production.
How does laser cutting work?
Laser cutting uses a high-intensity beam to cut sheet metal quickly, accurately and consistently. Fibre technology is particularly well suited to parts with complex geometries, production runs and applications requiring a high-quality finish and high repeatability. It forms part of our production process, from cutting to the finished part, alongside bending and welding.

Is your part for laser cutting or waterjet cutting?
Not all parts require the same technology. Laser cutting is faster and more cost-effective for thin to medium-gauge sheet metal with complex geometries and in batch production. Waterjet cutting, on the other hand, can handle thicknesses and materials that laser cutting cannot, such as stone, ceramics and composites, and cuts ‘cold’, without affecting the material. The choice depends on the material, the thickness and the finish required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can a laser cut?
TSwaterjet’s fibre laser cutting system cuts carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised steel, as well as brass and copper. It is a technology designed for metals. For non-metallic materials such as stone, ceramics or composites, the solution is waterjet cutting.
What thicknesses can a fibre laser cut?
Fibre lasers are most efficient when cutting thin to medium-gauge sheet metal, where they combine speed with edge quality. It cuts the main metals used in industry – steel, stainless steel and aluminium – at the thicknesses commonly found in metalworking. For very thick materials, the solution is waterjet cutting. The maximum thickness per material is confirmed in the quotation, depending on the part.
Laser or water jet – which should I choose?
Laser cutting is faster and more cost-effective for thin to medium-gauge sheet metal with complex geometries and in batch production. Waterjet cutting can handle greater thicknesses, cuts non-metallic materials and is a cold process, with no heat-affected zone. At TSwaterjet, we offer both methods and recommend the most suitable one for each part.
Does laser cutting alter the properties of the material?
Laser cutting is a thermal process, so it produces a very small heat-affected zone near the edge; this is normal for this technology and has no impact on the vast majority of applications. Where the workpiece must not undergo any thermal change, we recommend waterjet cutting.
What tolerances and finish can I achieve?
Laser cutting produces clean, uniform edges with tight tolerances and high repeatability, which reduces the need for further processing. The typical tolerance we guarantee is ± 0.1 mm. For specific requirements, please state the required tolerance in your quotation request.
What is the maximum sheet size?
We work with large-format sheet metal. The exact maximum dimensions are confirmed in the quotation, depending on the part.
What files do I need to send to request a quote?
We accept DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES and PDF files. Once we have received the technical drawing and details of the material, thickness and quantity, we will assess the feasibility and provide a quote on the same working day. All files are treated in strict confidence.
Do you have a laser-cutting project?
Please get in touch and send us your project so that we can outline the production stages.
