Want to know whether your laser cut sheet metal parts will be perfectly flat when they get to you? Learn why relative flatness of cut parts isn’t something we can guarantee.
Our typical raw material flatness deviation is +/- 0.030” per foot in our laser cut sheet metals. Individual part flatness depends on the cut geometry and stress relief when material is removed during the cut process, so we’re not able to guarantee the flatness of finished parts.

In Summary
Our typical raw material flatness deviation is +/- 0.030” per foot in our laser cut sheet metals. Individual part flatness depends on the cut geometry and stress relief when material is removed during the cut process, so we’re not able to guarantee the flatness of finished parts.
However, you can design your part so that warping is less likely to occur. Take a look at tips in in this article before uploading your next part design file to our website for an instant quote!
