Metal Laser Cutting Services
ATACO’s custom metal laser cutting services offer a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative to other metal fabrication methods. Laser cutting reduces product development time and allows for rapid design changes without expensive hard tooling costs. Mechanical fabrication processes like deep draw metal stamping require new tooling for every new part or prototype iteration. With our metal laser cutting technology, you need only change your CAD/CAM files and our CNC laser cutter does the rest.
Multi-Axis Laser Cutting Capabilities
In order to deliver the highest quality parts and the greatest ROI for our clients, ATACO Steel Products continually invests in the very latest and most efficient laser cutting technologies. This enables us to deliver the highest quality parts to you faster and at a more competitive cost than our competition.
With multiple 5-axis CNC laser cutting systems and 2D lasers, we can produce dimensionally perfect and totally repeatable metal parts, no matter how simple or complex your designs.
We use dynamic nesting to optimize material usage. By analyzing your part shapes and material needs, we can determine how to get the most parts from the least amount of material. Each part will be cut with perfect precision and match your designs exactly, from the first piece to the last.
We laser cut most metals and alloys, including:
- Carbon steel (up to 1″ thick)
- Galvanized steel
- Stainless steel (up to 3/4″ thick)
- Mild painted steel
- Film protected stainless steel
- Brass
- Copper
- Aluminum
- Nickel
- Titanium
- …and many other ferrous and non-ferrous metals
To reduce the time and cost of laser cutting, ATACO has an in-house nitrogen generator that allows us to cut with nitrogen instead of the traditionally-used oxygen as an assist gas. Laser cutting with nitrogen offers numerous advantages.
It provides greater cutting accuracy, and produces no oxidized edges, which allows for better weldability and paint adhesion. Nitrogen-assisted laser cutting eliminates the need for secondary post-process laser oxide removal, which results in faster production times and lower overall costs for our customers.
Precision 3D Laser Cutting
If you need three-dimensional (not “flat”) metal parts, or if your part geometry prohibits the use of a flat laser, ATACO’s multi-axis laser cutting services are the perfect solution. Our advanced multi-axis CNC laser cutter systems enable us to accurately produce any part geometry you may need and meet the close tolerances your designs require.
5-axis Laser Cutting
5-axis laser cutting involves moving a part on five axes simultaneously so the CNC laser cutter can machine parts from virtually any angle of approach. 5-axis laser cutting is ideal for curved parts and making angular cuts. For cutting, trimming, and piercing complex 3D metal parts, there’s no better option than 5-axis laser cutting.

2D Laser Cutting
Though generally less complex than their 3D counterparts, flat (aka 2D) parts still require exceptional precision to achieve proper fit, form, and function. ATACO’s state-of-the-art, automated 2D lasers allow us to deliver superior quality laser cut parts.
No matter how intricate your designs, our flat laser cutting capabilities guarantee exceptional precision, short turnaround times to meet your schedule, and low costs that won’t tank your budget.
