Why should I consider laser cutting for my custom parts?
Lasers can cut the hardest materials and leave burr-free edges.
The laser cutting process is extremely repeatable and produces parts with virtually no distortion. Laser cutting is well suited for rapid prototyping and provides a cost effective solution for short run production, making it a good alternative to metal stamping.
What is your typical quote response turnaround time?
Quotes are usually returned to the requesting company the same day or, at the worst, the following day. We are very concerned about quick and accurate quote response times.
What's the typical processing time for a laser-cutting job?
The processing time is really a function of the job's complexity, so it depends. Laser Shapes UK can turn around laser cut parts in as little as a few hours, but some jobs might take a week.

Once you've laser cut my parts once, how easy is it to reorder?
Once our computers have been programmed to laser cut your part, we can begin producing your re-order parts within just a short setup time. Each part on the re-order will have the same repeatability and positioning tolerances as the previous order, ensuring all parts are identical.
