Laser Cutting

Laser cutting is a precise method of shaping materials using a focused, high-intensity beam. It produces clean, repeatable cuts with minimal material waste, making it ideal for both prototyping and production. At European Springs & Pressings, we use laser cutting as part of our wider manufacturing process to produce components with tight tolerances and fine detail.

Applications

Laser cutting is used throughout our manufacturing operations. Key uses include:

  • Prototyping:  Laser cutting allows us to produce accurate prototypes quickly. It supports design evaluation and adjustment without committing to full tooling, which helps us develop and test spring or pressing components efficiently.
  • Small Batch Production: This method is cost-effective for short production runs. It allows for the creation of intricate parts without the need for custom dies or long setup times, making it suitable for custom assemblies or trial runs.
  • CAD/CAM IntegrationOur laser cutting systems are directly connected to our CAD/CAM workflow. This ensures the final part matches the digital design exactly. Laser cutting can also be combined with other processes—such as pressings, welding, or finishing—within a single project.

Advantages

There are several benefits to using laser cutting within our manufacturing operations:

  • Precision: Sharp corners, tight tolerances, and clean edges across metals and non-metals..
  • Efficiency: No physical tooling means shorter setup times and quicker turnaround.
  • Cost Control: Reduced material waste and lower labour input compared to manual methods.
  • Flexibility: Easily adjusted designs without requiring new equipment or setups.
