Laser Cutting Service

How It Works

What is Fiber Laser Cutting?

FYORD uses high-power fiber lasers (1.5 kW – 6 kW) to cut sheet metal with extreme precision. A concentrated laser beam melts and vaporises material along a programmed path, producing clean edges with no tool wear.

Unlike CO₂ lasers, fiber lasers cut reflective materials like copper and brass without risk of back-reflection damage — and at 3× the speed on thin materials.

Al 5052 / 6061	0.5 – 10 mm	0.2 – 0.4 mm	1500×3000 mm	Ideal for enclosures & panels.
Copper	0.5 – 6 mm	0.3 – 0.5 mm	1000×2000 mm	Busbars, heat sinks, electrical parts.
Brass	0.5 – 6 mm	0.3 – 0.5 mm	1000×2000 mm	Decorative & plumbing applications.

Design Guidelines

Rules for Laser-Cut Parts

Following these guidelines ensures your parts cut cleanly and arrive on time.

Minimum Hole Diameter

Minimum hole diameter = 1× material thickness. For a 3 mm plate, min hole = 3 mm. Smaller holes may not pierce cleanly.

Minimum Slot Width

Slot width ≥ 1× material thickness. Narrow slots trap molten material and cause dross. Add 0.5 mm margin if tight-fit assembly.

Min Feature Distance

Keep features at least 2× material thickness apart. Closely spaced holes weaken thin webs and cause warping from heat.

Kerf Compensation

Our CAM software applies kerf offset automatically. Upload true-size geometry — don't pre-compensate. Kerf is 0.2–0.5 mm depending on material and thickness.

Bend Allowance

If you plan to bend the laser-cut blank, include bend allowance in the flat pattern. Use K-factor 0.33 for mild steel, 0.38 for aluminium.

File Preparation

Export as DXF (R12 or later). All geometry in one layer. Remove text, dimensions, and title blocks. Closed contours only — open paths will cause errors.

Pro tip: Use our free DFM check — upload your DXF and our system flags thin webs, tiny holes, and open paths before you place the order.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What file format do I need to upload? ▾

We price DXF (R12 or later) and SVG instantly; DWG, STEP, IGES, PDF, AI and EPS are accepted and quoted by our team. For best results use DXF with all geometry in model space, scale 1:1, with closed contours and no blocks or hatches. Our DFM checker runs automatically on upload.

How do you calculate the price? ▾

Price = material cost (per kg, on the sheet area each part uses) + cutting time (from the length of the cut path and the number of pierces) + a flat one-time setup charge of ₹500 per order. Volume discounts (3 % at 5–9 pieces, 5 % at 10+) apply to material and cutting, not to the setup charge. Our algorithm nests parts efficiently to minimise material waste, and passes the saving back to you. The online quote is final — no surprises at invoice.

What is the minimum order? ▾

Minimum order value is ₹999 (ex-GST) per order. You can order a single piece — we cut single prototypes every day. Orders below ₹999 are rounded up to ₹999, shown as a “Minimum order adjustment” line in your quote.

Can you cut thick material (10 mm+)? ▾

Yes — our 6 kW machines cut mild steel up to 20 mm, SS up to 12 mm, and aluminium up to 10 mm. Above these values we recommend switching to waterjet cutting, which has no heat affected zone and handles any thickness up to 150 mm.

Do you ship outside Bengaluru? ▾

Yes — we ship pan-India via Delhivery, BlueDart, and DTDC. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on dimensional weight. Most metro cities receive parts within 1 day of dispatch. GST invoice provided for all orders.
