Understanding CNC Cutting

DemandCNC a Synventive Engineering Inc Company offers precision sheet metal cutting. CNC cutting is a subtractive manufacturing process utilizing computer-controlled Plasma, Laser, and Waterjet cutting tools to remove areas from solid materials. This method is employed to selectively cut various materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, and certain plastics.

Plasma Cutting Service

Receive top-tier plasma cut parts swiftly with instant pricing from both local and global plasma cutting manufacturers. Sheet metal solutions provide high-quality sheet metal solutions.

Superior Plasma Cutting Quality

CNC Plasma cutting, one of DemandCNC's sheet metal and CNC cutting processes, employs a focused plasma beam and compressed gas to cut through ferrous metals for prototypes, one-off parts, and industrial applications. It's considered more cost-effective than waterjet cutting. Our Manufacturing Partners offer CNC plasma cutting services capable of cutting metals like low-carbon steel, A36, aluminum, and stainless steel. For materials thicker than 3 inches or 75 mm, please refer to our waterjet cutting services. You can obtain instant quotes from verified local and global manufacturing partners by securely uploading your CAD, STP, or DWG files to our instant quoting marketplace.

Plasma Cutting Applications

  • Sheet Metal Enclosures
  • Agricultural Equipment Manufacturing
  • Brackets and Fixtures
  • Artistic Designs

Plasma cutting provides a swift and efficient method to cut 2D shapes in various thicknesses of sheet and plate metals. Due to low setup time and cycle times, CNC plasma cutting is ideal for one-off parts and small batch production runs. Plasma cutters can handle a wide range of ferrous metals, crafting complex, high-quality sheet and plate metal parts efficiently.

Unveiling Laser Cutting

Laser cutting stands as pivotal sheet metal and CNC cutting process at DemandCNC provides a high-powered laser focused through optical lenses, it efficiently cuts through various materials for prototypes, one-off, and industrial applications, facilitated by a computer-controlled gantry system. Laser cutting excels in precision compared to CNC plasma cutting and offers faster results than waterjet cutting.

Superior Laser Cutting Quality

DemandCNC provides laser cutting services that are adept at cutting materials like low carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, plywood, MDF, acrylic, and exotic alloys. For plate materials exceeding 3 inches or 75 mm in thickness, please refer to our waterjet cutting services. Obtain instant quotes from verified local and global Manufacturing Partners by securely uploading your CAD, STP, or DWG files to our instant quoting marketplace.

Laser Cutting Applications

  • Sheet Metal Enclosures
  • Agricultural Equipment Manufacturing
  • Brackets and Fixtures
  • Patterns and Material Blanks

Laser cutting offers swift and efficient production of 2D shapes across various thicknesses of sheet and plate materials. Its minimal setup time and rapid cycle times make CNC laser cutting ideal for one-off parts, small batch production, and large-scale production runs exceeding 5,000 parts. Laser cutters excel in cutting through diverse materials, crafting intricate, high-quality sheet metal components effectively.

Unveiling Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting serves as a pivotal CNC cutting process at DemandCNC utilizes extremely high-pressure water, often with sand or a cutting medium, it efficiently cuts through varying material thicknesses for prototypes, one-offs, and industrial applications, facilitated by a computer-controlled gantry system. Waterjet cutting stands out for its precision, without a heat-affected zone (HAZ) near the cutting edge, unlike plasma or laser cutting.

Superior Waterjet Cutting Quality

DemandCNC provides waterjet cutting services that are adept at cutting materials such as low-carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, UHMW, polycarbonate, and ABS. For orders requiring large-quantity production runs, please refer to our CNC laser cutting services. Obtain instant waterjet cutting quotes from verified local and global Manufacturing Partners by securely uploading your CAD, STP, or DWG files to our instant quoting marketplace.

Waterjet Cutting Applications

  • Material Blanks
  • Patterns
  • Brackets
  • Fixtures

Waterjet cutting offers a methodical yet efficient approach to cutting through thick plate materials. Due to its slower cutting speeds, CNC waterjet cutting is often preferred for one-off parts, small batch production runs, and creating material blanks to optimize CNC machining time. Waterjet cutters excel in cutting through various material thicknesses, even up to 12 inches thick, facilitating the creation of complex, high-quality parts.
