Our lasers are ideal for trimming, cutting and etching parts with intricate designs that would be too expensive or difficult for mechanical punch tooling, especially for products under development. In many cases we laser trim prototype parts because it reduces the time and cost involved with trim tooling. We are able to trim and etch formed parts if the contours are not too drastic, so please describe your trimming challenge to us!
