Fiber Laser Machine
Secondary operations can be eliminated: A tube laser can easily cut a piece of material to the desired length, add holes or other cutout designs in one step. This eliminates the need for manual material removal. This allows you to maintain tight tolerances for more complicated fabrications. You can make parts from one continuous piece. This allows you to ensure they fit in one direction and is easy to assemble. Tube laser aluminum, carbon and stainless steel can all be tubed.
Parts can be held with automatic tabbering (in FabCreator), as well as a set of jaws at the drive chuck, and the idler-chuck.
