Laser cutting

Laser cutting offers multiple benefits:

  • High precision and consistency
  • Stricter tolerances and improved finishes
  • Repeatability and traceability
  • Minimises material wastage – reduces costs
  • Requires no tooling – increases speed, reduces costs
  • No reworking required for cleaner cuts – reduces delivery times
  • Improved material handling avoids scratching
  • Cuts sheets up to 25mm thick
  • Ideal for rapid prototyping

CNC punching

CNC punching uses a computer-controlled punch and die to punch holes and shapes in sheet metal. It is a reliable and efficient way to produce sheet metal parts and can produce large quantities of parts quickly and accurately.

CNC punching offers multiple benefits:

  • Highly accurate – produces parts with very tight tolerances
  • Efficient – produces large quantities of parts fast
  • Versatile – creates a wide variety of shapes and sizes of holes or cuts
  • Cost effective – speed and quality can reduce production costs

Stevenage Sheet Metal’s CNC punching capability

  • 1150 x 2950mm punching area up to 8mm thick.
