Cutting flat materials using a laser is a relatively straightforward process. However, cutting 3D components, formed parts or tube is a more specialised operation that is not as widely available as flat laser cutting.

However, multi-axis laser cutting can offer a range of benefits to companies who have previously not considered this operation. The benefits include:

• Reduced machining costs by combining multiple processes such as cutting and drilling.
• Increased design flexibility allowing more cost effective manufacturing.
• Being able to cut tubes or spinnings on a cost efficient basis in low volumes.
• Rapid turnaround of formed components or blanks to ensure that design changes or proofing does not stop production runs.
