What is Decorative Laser Cut Metal?

Laser-Cut designs into sheet metal, using high powered laser to cut, engrave, or etch patterns, images, or shapes into different material types of metal such as, steel aluminum brass or copper. The result is a decorative and aesthetically pleasing piece that can be used in a wide range of applications, including interior and exterior products like facades, cladding, balustrade, signage art installations and more.
Graepels laser cutting technology is used to precisely cut metal. The technique facilitates the manufacturing of intricate designs with accuracy resulting in a finished piece which is not only beautiful but durable. Each design can be custom cut from botanical or filigree and nature inspired designs to bold geometric shapes or patterns, we can bring your vision to life.

Design Complexity: Consider the complexity of the design or pattern you want to achieve. Laser cutting allows for intricate details, but overly intricate designs might not translate well onto the sheet metal, leading to potential issues with readability or structural integrity.
Material Choice: Choose the appropriate material for your project based on factors such as durability, appearance, and compatibility with the intended application.
Design Requirements: An example of a design requirement might be a sub frame running behind your pattern. Assess whether the sub frame might disrupt the pattern’s coherence or visual appeal. If the sub frame is visible behind the pattern or conflicts with it, it could detract from the outcome.
Material Selection: Discuss your specific requirements for material type, grade, thickness, and surface finish. Different materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, offer different properties and are suitable for different applications.
Lighting and Environment: Consider the lighting conditions and environment where the decorative metal will be installed or displayed. Factors such as natural light, artificial lighting, and ambient conditions can affect the visibility and appearance of the laser-cut design.
Scale and Proportion: Ensure that the scale and proportion of the laser-cut design are suitable for the intended application. Consider how the design will interact with its surroundings and whether it complements the overall aesthetic of the space or project.

Material Specifications: Stainless Steel, Mild Steel and Aluminum
Material Thickness: Enquiry specific – As a general rule we can comfortably cut up to half the maximum material thickness range which would be 12mm mild steel, 8mm Stainless Steel and 4mm Aluminium
Sheet Size: Up to 3000 x 1500mm
Size and Shape openings: There are no limits to shapes and sizes of openings. The only limit is your imagination!

CAD Design: Graepels can work with your drawings to ensure accuracy and precision manufacturing to customers specifications.

Vector Format: Provide your text in a vector format such as SVG or DXF. Vector graphics ensure that the
lines are crisp and scalable, resulting in accurate cutting.

Customisation: Laser cutting offers unparalleled flexibility in customization. Designers can create unique and personalized decorative metal pieces tailored to specific design requirements, including custom patterns, sizes, and shapes.
Complexity of Design: Laser cutting technology can effortlessly handle complex and intricate designs that may be challenging or impossible to achieve with traditional cutting methods. This capability opens endless possibilities for creativity and innovation in decorative metal fabrication.
Scalability: Laser cutting technology is highly scalable, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale production runs. Whether producing a single custom piece or batch-producing decorative metal elements, laser cutting can accommodate various project sizes and volumes.
Integration with Other Processes: Laser cutting can be seamlessly integrated with other Graepels products like Perforated Metal and Wire Weaving but also fabrication processes, such as bending, welding, and engraving, to further enhance the decorative metal pieces’ functionality and visual impact.
