Although GF Laser are predominantly a laser cutting company, our sister company Moseley Brothers offer CNC Machining. Laser cutting and CNC machining are both methods of cutting and shaping materials, but they use different technologies and have different applications. Laser cutting uses a high-powered laser to cut and shape materials such as metal, wood, plastic,

In recent years, 5 axis laser cutting has emerged as a game changer in the field, offering greater precision, efficiency and versatility. In traditional laser cutting, the laser beam is directed onto a flat surface of the material, which is then cut along a straight line. 5 axis laser cutting, on the other hand, allows

GF Laser have wide ranging experience in laser cutting stainless steel, we keep a stock of the most common grades 304 and 316. Cutting stainless steel is fairly straightforward for any laser cutting company. However, it does tend to be more expensive than cutting mild due to the volume and type of assist gas required.

Laser cutting is a popular technology used in many industries to cut and shape a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, plastic, fabric, and more. There are several reasons why laser cutting is preferred over other cutting methods: Precision: Laser cutting produces very precise cuts with high accuracy, resulting in clean edges and intricate

5 axis laser cutting and 5 axis machining are both advanced manufacturing technologies that allow for the creation of complex shapes and parts. However, there are some key differences between these two processes: Cutting vs. milling: 5 axis laser cutting involves the use of a high-powered laser beam to cut through materials, while 5 axis

When GF Laser first started business in 2006 Fiber lasers were yet to make their mark on the laser cutting industry. Fast forward 17 years and, as far as I know, none of the major laser cutting machine manufacturers such as Trumpf and Bystronic offer a CO2 laser. So, what are the advantages of Fiber laser

Fiber laser cutting and CO2 laser cutting are two popular methods of laser cutting that use different types of laser technology to cut materials such as mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Although most of the main laser machine manufacturers do not make CO2 lasers anymore, many companies such as GF Laser operate both types

In recent years, solar energy has emerged as a leading sustainable power source, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional energy generation methods. As the solar energy industry continues to grow, technological advancements play a crucial role in enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Among these advancements, laser cutting has proven to be a game-changer, revolutionizing the

A question the team at GF Laser are quite often asked to give a ballpark figure for laser cutting. Whilst we are happy to do this to help customers move forward quickly it’s worth remembering that the cost of laser cutting can vary depending on various factors such as the complexity of the design, the
