Laser Cutting

  At GF Laser we are regularly asked how quickly we can turnaround laser cutting jobs. This all depends on the type of job and we have turned around jobs in a few hours but typically customers ask for 24 hour turnaround laser cutting. Some of the factors that can affect timescales are: Is there […]

  With governments across the world now seemingly focused on delivering renewable energy solutions GF Laser are working for a number of customers in this fast-growing sector.   Flexibility The flexibility of laser cutting and press braking makes it ideal for use in almost all sectors of the renewable energy industry. GF Laser have carried

The team at GF Laser are increasingly working with companies in the building sector, some advantages of laser cutting include: Precision: Laser cutting allows for very precise cuts, with a tolerance of less than +/- 0.25mm. This can be especially useful for cutting complex or intricate shapes, such as those found in architectural designs. Speed:

Did you know: Aluminum (also spelled “aluminium”) is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic and ductile metal that belongs to the boron group. Aluminum is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon) and is abundant in the earth’s crust. Due to its

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
