Laser Cutting
The laser works by employing a resonator that generates a beam of light using an electric charge combined with radio frequencies and inert gases. The light beam is directed from the resonator to the plate using a series of mirrors. Just above the plate, gas is delivered coaxially with the laser beam and separates the material. Laser cutting leaves an edge with a high-quality surface finish, without the need for additional finishing. Arcadia Manufacturing has the ability to handle anything from one-off custom projects, large productions runs, modifications to existing components and odd shaped blanks. Arcadia can rapidly turn your prints into parts.
