Overview
Cut metal tubing, I-beam, channel, and angle with reduced lead times and higher efficiency. 3D tube laser cutting consolidates multiple operations for quick cycles, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes—ideal for both prototypes and production.
Why choose IMS?
We provide convenience and quality. We also provide the following:
- Quotes within one business day
- Same-day Will-Call pickup at any of our locations
- Prototype to production quantities
- Numerous CAD formats supported
- We work with a variety of files including DXF files and hand-drawn sketches
What can our lasers do?
Our tube laser cutting uses a 4,000-watt system with the ability to cut materials as long as 26’ and as short as one inch. Material cutting thicknesses include:
- Up to ¾" for steel
- Up to ½" for stainless steel
- Up to ⅜" for aluminum
Robotic material handling provides enhanced capabilities, including:
- 10" diameters for round tubing
- 8" for rectangle and square tubing
- 8" square options for structural shapes, including channel and I-beam
Why choose tube laser cutting?
High precision with smooth surface finishes makes 3D tube laser cutting ideal when you need tight tolerances and fast turnaround. It replaces multiple non-laser steps for speed and consistency.
- Part identification via laser engraving
- Virtually any shape from a CAD system
- Tight tolerances and precision cuts
- Straight and angled cuts with weld bevels up to 45°
- Contoured cuts with weld bevels
- Tap and drill holes up to ½" diameter
- No need for fixtures or additional tooling
- Combines drilling, tapping, grinding, beveling, deburring, cutting, and milling into one process
