What Is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a technology-driven process that uses a concentrated beam of light to cut materials with remarkable accuracy. By leveraging Bystronics CNC laser equipment, AWC Industries produces clean, consistent cuts – without distortion or tool wear.

Our laser systems can melt, vaporize, or burn through metals like steel, aluminum, and stainless steel while maintaining tight tolerances and high edge quality. This makes laser cutting ideal for applications that demand both precision and repeatability.

AWC Industries’ Laser Cutting Capabilities

We’ve built our laser cutting services around industry-leading equipment and a customer-first approach. Our current capabilities include:

  • Material Thickness Range: 0.020” to 0.750”

  • Table Size: 60” x 120” for maximum sheet yield

  • 2D & 3D Laser Cutting: Sheets, tubing, and structural beams (C, H, I, L shapes)

  • Materials: Stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, and brass

Whether you need a single prototype or a high-volume production run, AWC Industries can deliver precision parts with fast turnaround and consistent quality.

Why Choose Laser Cutting?

🔍 Precision & Repeatability
