What is Sheet Metal Laser Cutting?

Sheet metal laser cutting is a precise method of cutting thin metal sheets using a high-powered laser beam. The process allows for intricate shapes, clean edges, and minimal material waste, making it ideal for industries such as manufacturing, design, signage, and architectural detailing.

At MS Laser Services, we specialise in custom sheet metal laser cutting services across Liverpool, the North West, and the UK. Our expertise lies in working with stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, and zinc, delivering precision parts for trade customers, designers, architects, and manufacturers.

How Does Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Work?

A focused laser beam heats and melts the surface of the metal, following a pre-programmed design path. Using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technology, the laser head moves with extreme accuracy, achieving detailed cuts and fine features that traditional mechanical methods can’t match.

We work specifically with thin sheet metals between 0.5mm and 3.0mm, ensuring perfect results whether you need a single prototype, short production runs, or full-scale manufacturing.
