Pricing
Laser cutters are the top-of-the-line machinery for cutting. They are precise, powerful, and create clean edges on the final piece. Operating costs are high to sustain a laser. The high cost often makes it impractical to add to a factory or repair shop that does not need that level of cutting on a daily basis.
Another cost associated with Laser Cutting in Auburn, WA is the training of machine operators. The complexity of the machinery requires special training for safe operation. That amount of time and expense is not worth it to business owners who can simply outsource the task to an experienced company such as Specialty Metals.
Space
This machine gets hot while cutting and emits fumes. That means it has to be kept away from other machinery, supplies, and people. A corridor around the machine is needed. Space also has to be properly ventilated to ensure the area does not become toxic. A small-to-medium-size factory is not capable of safely housing such a machine.
Repair shops, metal work companies, and heating and cooling companies rely on outsourcing to supplement on-site abilities, have a limited number of a part made, or to get help troubleshooting a problem. Re-routing a section of a heating duct system, for example, may require a piece with precision holes cut for connection purposes.
