During your manufacturing process there will be a time where you have the opportunity to use a laser cutter. It is a long term investment that any cutting business should get into. Getting a laser cutter will end up being much more cost effective than your traditional methods. It is also lower power and lower cost of materials. You will get the benefit of being more precise with your cuts. You can also customize and cut into many different materials.
Key Takeaways:
- Design for manufacturing is a cost-effective strategy, that allows businesses a way to analyze design viability early in the stages of a potential design project.
- The idea isn’t new. Manufacturers have struggled to implement DFM for ages, defaulting to simplistic patterns to aid process, as complex patterns are harder to produce.
- With laser technology, it isn’t necessary to dumb down the designs. The lasers simplify the manufacturing itself, thereby allowing for complex designs and more innovation.
