Laser Cutting Services


Manufacturing process versatility is at the core of our ability to provide customers with a single-source solution.
At Decimal Engineering, Inc., part of this capability is high precision 2D laser cutting services. Laser cutting is a versatile process that allows for efficient cutting of parts at a range of production volumes.
Our New Bystronic ByStar 12,000 Fiber Laser Laser has a maximum power output of 12,000 watts and a cutting table that can accommodate sheets up to 120″ in length and 60″ in width.
Most any material, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, can be cut with an accuracy of ±0.005″.
The maximum allowable sheet thickness will vary depending on the material and ranges from 1.18″ for aluminum to 1.18″ for carbon steel. Features such as holes, slots, and other custom patterns can be cut on preformed parts utilizing our 2D laser cutting and contouring capabilities.
Our laser cutting process includes lights out manufacturing capabilities. The cutting table is equipped with a new 19 position tower with automated material retrieval and parts storage, allowing for 24/7 operation without direct operator supervision. This automation lowers overhead costs and reduces manufacturing lead time. In addition to laser cutting, full CNC machining, precision sheet metal fabrication, finishing, value-added assembly and inspection services are available.
Decimal Engineering’s Quality Management System is Certified to AS 9100D and ISO
Additional finishing such as precision grinding, polishing, wet painting, powder coating, and a variety of plating can also be provided. If your requirements call for NADCAP certified finishing, our network of trusted suppliers can provide full process compliance.
