About Kerf
Kerf is the width of material removed by the laser beam during cutting. Our system automatically compensates for kerf, so you don't need to adjust your designs.
Tolerances
Our fiber laser system maintains tight tolerances across all cuts:
- ± 0.005" on all dimensions
- Excellent repeatability between parts
- Consistent edge quality
Questions About Your Design?
We automatically review all parts for manufacturability when you submit them. If we spot any potential issues, we'll email you right away with suggestions.
