Laser Cutting

Eigen partners with specialised laser cutting experts to deliver top-tier metal component solutions. While we don't perform laser cutting internally, our vendor collaborations mirror our commitment to precision, dependability, and high quality.

Laser cutting is a non-contact, highly precise material separation technique. A laser beam, focused by optics under computer numerical control (CNC), is directed to a workpiece to melt, vaporize, or blow away material, leaving a clean, finely defined edge. Because the beam doesn’t physically touch the material, there is minimal mechanical stress and less risk of tool wear.

In many modern systems, the laser source (such as fiber or CO₂) and beam delivery optics move according to G-code or CNC instructions to cut intricate designs on sheet metals, plastics, and composite materials.

About Eigen

Our Top Laser Cutting Process

 

The laser cutting process begins by focusing a coherent beam of light onto the surface of the part. Depending on the material and thickness, the material may vaporize, melt or be blown away by assist gas (such as nitrogen or oxygen). To initiate a cut, a pierce point is often created first.

 
  • Vaporization Cutting: The material is heated to its vaporization point and removed in vapor form. This is often used for non-metal materials.
  • Melt & Blow (fusion cutting): The material is melted, and a high-pressure gas jet blows molten material out of the cut. Common in metal cutting.
  • Thermal Stress Cracking: Used for brittle materials, the beam induces cracks by thermal expansion.
  • Stealth Dicing: A technique for cutting silicon wafers, using subsurface focus to separate them.
  • Reactive / Flame-Assisted Cutting: Often used for carbon steel, where the laser beam initiates a burning reaction, assisting in material removal.

Materials & Thickness Capabilities


Our partner systems can cut a variety of materials — from stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, and specialty alloys to plastics and composites. We choose the optimal laser type (fiber, CO₂, or hybrid) based on reflectivity, thickness, and material properties.

For thin metals and delicate components, fiber lasers offer very small spot sizes and high precision — especially on reflective materials like copper or brass.

Cutting thickness depends on the laser’s power, material, and the cutting method. In many industrial systems, metals from 0.5 mm up to over 13 mm can be processed, with cutting speeds varying accordingly.

Laser Cutting Advantages

Laser cutting offers compelling benefits:

High precision and fine kerf widths

often achieving tight tolerances and smooth edges.

Minimal mechanical stress

The contactless nature reduces distortion and tool fatigue.

Reduced contamination & wear

No physical tool contact means less risk of embedding contaminants or surface damage. 

Versatility across materials

Suited for metals, plastics, composites, and more.

Automation & repeatability

Well-suited for complex designs, prototyping, and high-volume runs.

Our Partner-Led Laser Cutting Capabilities Include:

  • CNC-driven laser cutting offers high precision and minimises heat-affected zones.
  • We can work with a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, copper, and speciality plastics.
  • Support for rapid prototyping and full-volume manufacturing
  • Clean, sharp cuts suitable for complex and customised designs
