Revolutionizing Fabrication: An Overview of Tube Laser Cutting Services

Tube laser cutting is exactly what it sounds like–the process of cutting tubes of material into specific structural shapes or channels at precise lengths. However, though it sounds simple, laser tube cutting is a specialized and precise way to create tubing from all sorts of materials, and in a wide range of shapes and sizes. 

MetalFab Group is an expert in tubing fabrication, boasting a vast knowledge base in fabricating tube products from all sorts of materials and for a wide range of industries. Our team is one of the most experienced at many types of laser cutting, tubing products included. 

A Quick Overview of Tube Laser Cutting

Laser tube cutting is a highly precise and efficient fabrication technique for shaping tubes, structural shapes, or channels, as well as cutting holes or designs into the tubing. Typically, laser cutting equipment for tubing comes in two types: two-axis and three-axis. 

• 2-Axis equipment cuts the tubing along two dimensions, and is typically used for precisely cutting the work piece to length, as well as producing features such as joints and other connections. 

• 3-Axis equipment shapes the work piece along three dimensions and is used for chamfering or tilt cutting. 

Tube laser cutting offers both manufacturers and their partners many advantages as well. It’s a very flexible fabrication technique, accommodating a wide variety of work pieces in terms of diameter, length, and shape, as well as materials. 

This type of fabrication is also highly efficient, as it rarely requires the pre-treatment and post-treatment processes that other methods need. The cuts are always clean and precise and don’t leave any extra material that would have to be removed. Laser cutting for tubing also doesn’t require changing out pieces, parts, or tooling in order to finish the process–cutting to length and shape complexity can all be done in one machine. That means quicker turnaround times for customers and far better quality as well.

The other advantage of laser tube cutting is its versatility. This fabrication technique serves many industries, such as automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, medical equipment manufacturing, consumer appliances and electronics, and much more.  If it requires some type of tubing, then laser cutting is often the way to go.
