Aerospace Laser Cutting
The aerospace industry has stringent fabrication requirements for aircraft parts and components. These parts and components must be cut precisely and accurately, which is where aerospace laser cutting comes in. Laser cutting for the aerospace industry provides accurate parts with efficiency. At Kammerer Dynamics, Inc., we have three state-of-the-art laser cutters that will produce precise cuts to your specifications.
Understanding Laser Cutting for the Aerospace Industry
Laser cutting uses a high-powered laser to cut various materials of varying thicknesses into different shapes and sizes. These laser-cut parts can then be used to produce parts and components. Laser cutters are very precise machines that cut pieces accurately and efficiently. Laser-cutting machines work by adding your specifications into a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file, which is loaded onto the machine’s computer; then, the lasers cut the part to your specifications.
Benefits of Laser Cut Aerospace Parts
There are many benefits of laser cutting for the aerospace industry, including:
- Precision: Laser cutters produce clean, accurate cuts for aircraft parts.
- Reduced Costs: Produce more products in less time, less material waste, lower labor costs
- Increased Productivity and Efficiency: Precise cuts mean less material waste and an increase in parts coming from a single sheet, fewer parts to break, so less downtime
- Safety: Precise and accurate cuts mean parts are safer, no contact with the laser increases user safety
Other benefits of laser-cut aerospace parts include improved speed of the cutting process and lower repair and maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts.
Aerospace Laser Cutting
Several different types of laser cutters can be used to laser cut aerospace parts, including:
- Laser Marking: For easy review and inspection, aerospace industry parts need to be marked with part numbers and manufacturing lot numbers.
- CO2 Lasers: Ideal for cutting non-metallic metals, but they can be used to cut metals and metal alloys if the power supply is high, use helium in addition to carbon dioxide.
- Fiber Lasers: Can cut most metallic metals and use cheaper argon instead of more expensive helium in addition to carbon dioxide.

Materials Used for Laser Cut Aerospace Parts
At Kammerer Dynamics, we offer various materials for laser-cut aircraft parts and components, such as carbon steel, hot-rolled steel, galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Aluminum is the most widely used metal in the aerospace industry because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and lightweight.
Types of Products Aerospace Laser Cutting Can Produce
Aerospace laser cutting can produce many products, including end effector parts, wing fastener parts, tooling parts, fixture parts, and more.
