Speed Digital tooling enables low cost, rapid turnaround of prototype and production batches. Design modifications are accommodated quickly and inexpensively. Customers' CAD data is imported to allow cut simulation and sheet layout optimisation, ensuring quick response to enquiries. Economy High cutting speeds ensure competitive costs, while advanced ‘nesting software' optimises material utilisation. Considerable economies can be obtained by nesting parts, and cutting along common lines. Micromet uses powerful nesting software to maximise material utilisation and reduce machining time. Nitrogen Inerted Cutting Produces cleaner cut edge to enhance subsequent operations. Oxidation free cut edges are essential in many applications such as aerospace. Capacitive Height Sensing, non contact cutting allows processing of highly polished materials without compromising surface finish. Integrated Surface Marking Makes component identification an integral part of the cutting operation reducing component handling and cost. Material Diversity Laser Cutting is used to profile a wide range of materials from composites and plastics through mild steel and yellow metals to hard alloys and stainless, enabling shapes to be manufactured that are not feasible by conventional machining methods. Finished Components from One Source Combining Laser Cutting with other in-house manufacturing processes and finishing operations provides customers with finished components and enables them to reduce their supplier base. Component Consistency The same digital tooling is used for subsequent orders guaranteeing repeatable, virtually burr free components with no batch to batch variation.
