What is Sheet Cutting
Sheet cutting is a manufacturing process that involves slicing flat stock material along a defined profile to create a specific shape. This is typically done using a high-powered CNC laser or waterjet. From one-off batches to mass production, custom designs can be cut in various materials, including plastics, elastomers, composites, metals, and more. Sheet cutting is also typical for blank preparation in other manufacturing processes like sheet metal fabrication or metal stamping.
Materials (Non-Ferrous Metals):
• Aluminum
• Brass
• Copper
• Lead
• Magnesium
• Steel
• Galvanized Steel
• Zinc
Advantages: • Parts with Precision Tolerances • Parts with Demanding Angles and Details • Parts with Complex Shapes and Undercuts • Parts with Metal Inserts • Parts with Differential Wall Thicknesses • Parts with Dimensional Stability • Parts with Strength and Durability • Parts with Excellent Surface Finishes |
Sheet Cutting Standards and Tolerances
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| Blank Size | Xometry has access to platforms up to 10’ x 20’ for laser cutting and waterjet cutting. However, many sheet stock sizes commonly cap out at 48” x 96” (4’ x 8’) or smaller. |
| Standard Lead Time | 3 business days |
| Sheet Thickness | 0.020″ up to beyond 1.00″ depending on materials. Thinner or thicker stock may be possible through manual review. |
| Tight Tolerances | We can automatically quote sheet cutting tolerances as tight as +/- 0.005″. Tolerances tighter than this are available after manual review. |
| General Tolerances | For full details on Xometry’s general tolerances and standards for our sheet cutting service, please consult our manufacturing standards. |
