LASER CUTTING
For High-Precision Designs
Laser cutting uses a laser (in our case, a CO2 laser) to process and cut extremely tight tolerances. Lasers have high precision, even when slicing through a stack of laminated materials or repeatedly cutting small details like holes, slots, or fenestrations.
Strouse uses two types of laser cutting machines: a flat bed laser for prototyping and a web-fed in-line laser for larger production runs.

What is Laser Cutting Used For?
Laser cutting is often the most efficient sampling method for rapid prototyping because it's easier to access than hard tooling. It is also commonly used in the full-scale production of:
- Complex EV battery components
- Narrow microfluidic device channels
- Extremely small parts (such as laser cut gaskets)
and many other products.
The Benefits of Laser Cutting
- Accuracy and precision
- Ability to cut complex shapes
- Repeatability
- Contactless (tool-free) cutting
- Ideal for lower (~50-100 part) quantities OR when other methods aren't feasible due to tolerances
However, laser cutting is not ideal for high volumes, deep cuts, or clean (aesthetically pleasing) parts.
