Fiber laser cutting of stainless steel to your drawing
Fiber laser cutting is the fastest and most accurate way to turn a drawing into flat stainless steel parts: flanges, base plates, cabinet panels, machine frames, decorative screens, letters, or blanks that will be bent and welded later. At the Inox TINTA workshop (Song Than 1 Industrial Park, Di An Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), every laser job is checked against the drawing before cutting, so the parts fit the next operation without rework.
Which materials can be laser cut?
- Stainless steel 201, 304, 316/316L sheet in 2B, BA, hairline and mirror finishes.
- Mild steel and galvanised steel for frames, brackets and structural plates.
- Aluminium and brass: highly reflective metals, so the thickness is confirmed before the order is accepted.
The maximum thickness depends on the machine power and the edge quality you need, so for thick plate we confirm it on your specific drawing instead of quoting a generic figure.
Fiber laser vs plasma cutting vs punching
| Criterion | Fiber laser | Plasma | Die punching |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | High, narrow kerf, sharp corners | Lower, wide kerf | High and repeatable once the die exists |
| Stainless edge | Clean, little burr; nitrogen cutting gives a bright, oxide-free edge | Dross, needs grinding | Slight burr on the underside |
| Heat-affected zone | Small, little distortion on thin sheet | Larger | None (cold process) |
| Tooling cost | No tooling | No tooling | A die must be made |
| Best for | One-off parts to production runs | Thick plate, low accuracy | Very large runs of a fixed shape |
How a laser cutting order works
- Send the drawing with grade, thickness, finish, quantity and required date.
- Drawing check: closed contours, holes that are too small, hole-to-edge distance, parts to be bent after cutting.
- Quotation based on cutting length, number of pierces, material and quantity.
- Nesting on the sheet to save material, cutting and deburring.
- Dimensional check, scratch-proof packing, delivery or transfer to bending, welding and polishing.
Preparing a drawing for a fast quote
- A 1:1 DXF or DWG file is best; PDFs or photos must show all dimensions.
- For bent parts, add a 3D STEP file or the dimensions after bending so we can calculate the flat blank.
- Mark the visible side or the side that keeps its protective film.
- As a rule of thumb, hole diameter should be at least the sheet thickness, and hole-to-edge distance 1 to 1.5 times the thickness, to avoid distortion.
Laser cutting combined with other operations
Most cut parts continue to bending, punching and stamping, welding and polishing; decorative parts can be gold or rose-gold PVD coated. Shells, heads and stiffeners of industrial stainless steel tanks are laser cut before rolling and welding. See all our custom stainless steel fabrication services.
Frequently asked questions
Does laser cutting stainless steel need a die?
No. The machine cuts directly from the drawing file, so it suits single prototypes and production runs without tooling cost.
Will the laser-cut edge be black?
Cutting stainless steel with nitrogen gives a bright edge without oxidation. Cutting with oxygen or compressed air leaves a darker edge that may need cleaning for visible parts.
How is the price calculated?
By cutting length, number of holes, thickness, grade, whether we supply the material, and quantity. Send the drawing for an exact quote.
I only have a hand sketch or a sample part.
Send a photo of the sketch with dimensions or bring the sample to the workshop; we redraw it and send it to you for approval before cutting.
