Overview

Fiber laser cutting is one of the fastest and most accurate ways to cut metal plate and sheet. It delivers clean edges, tight repeatability, and efficient material use for a wide range of parts, from simple base plates and brackets to more complex profiles that feed into forming, welding, and machining.

As experts in fiber laser cutting, we handle a broad variety of projects and help customers refine material, thickness, tabbing, and feature details so parts not only cut cleanly but also work well in downstream operations. Small changes to hole size, slot width, minimum web, and nesting approach can significantly improve both cost and lead time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is fiber laser cutting?

Fiber laser cutting uses a high-powered, fiber-delivered laser beam to cut metal with speed and precision. In fiber laser cutting, the beam is focused onto the material, melting or vaporizing it along the programmed path to create a clean, accurate profile. At FPS, fiber laser cutting is supported by automated systems that run 24/7 and tie directly into our fabrication, welding, and finishing capabilities.

Fiber laser cutting is used to produce:

  • Base plates and mounting plates
  • Brackets, gussets, and tabs
  • Panels, guards, and covers
  • Components that will be formed, welded, or machined later


Many of these fiber laser cut parts move directly into press brake forming, welding, or CNC machining within the same facility.

Fiber laser cutting at FPS supports a variety of metals commonly used in fabrication, including:

  • Mild or carbon steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminum

Other metals may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and we can help confirm the best cutting process for your material and thickness.

Fiber laser cutting is generally well-suited to thin and medium-gauge sheet and plate. Exact thickness ranges depend on the specific material and part geometry. When you send your RFQ, include material and thickness so we can confirm current fiber laser cutting capacity for your project.

Yes. FPS offers 24/7 laser cutting automation by linking multiple high-speed fiber laser machines through an automated system and online tools. This allows on-demand fiber laser cutting and helps shorten lead times across both small and large orders.

Preferred file types for fiber laser cutting quotes are DXF, DWG, STP and PDF.  

Including flat patterns or clearly defined profiles, along with notes on material, thickness, and quantities, helps us quote fiber laser cutting work more quickly and accurately.

Typical fiber laser cutting tolerances depend on material, thickness, and feature size. Fiber laser cutting is known for providing tight, consistent tolerances on holes, slots, and exterior profiles. When you submit your drawings, we review your critical dimensions and let you know what is achievable and practical for your specific part and material.

If you upload your drawings or models with material, thickness, quantities, and any special notes (such as forming or welding after cutting), we can typically provide a fiber laser cutting quote quickly. Clearly marking critical dimensions, cosmetic faces, or special requirements helps speed up the review.

Fiber laser cutting pricing is influenced by:

  • Material type and thickness
  • Part size and complexity
  • Number of pierces, holes, and tight internal features
  • Nesting efficiency and sheet utilization
  • Any secondary operations such as forming, welding, machining, or powder coating
  • Special handling, tabbing, or cosmetic requirements

We often suggest small design adjustments that improve nesting and cut time, helping you get the most out of fiber laser cutting.
