How is the price for a sheet metal cut calculated?<\/h2>\n\n

Since laser cuts are individually manufactured parts, the price is not a flat rate, but rather individual. There are three main components that make up the price:<\/p>\n\n

Material price + machine time + fixed costs = sheet metal cutting price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

You can find out exactly what these individual components are and how you can influence them below. But to give you a rough idea in advance: Most of the laser cuts that we produce are priced between \u20ac30 and \u20ac60. The only additional costs are the shipping costs. At the bottom of this page we have also prepared some practical examples that can give you a rough guide, as the material price in particular can change at short notice depending on the market situation.<\/p>\n\n

Material price<\/h3>\n\n

For large parts or high quantities, the material price of the workpiece is often the largest component when calculating the price of a sheet metal cut. Depending on the type and amount of material used, this can be more or less important. Stainless steel, for example, is more expensive than mild steel – if a cheaper material is sufficient, replacing it can save significantly.<\/p>\n\n

Machine time<\/h3>\n\n

As the name suggests, machine time is calculated based on the amount of time our machines need to cut. Accordingly, complex laser cuts are more expensive than those that only require a few cuts. Workpieces whose contours consist of many short lines are comparatively complex. Workpieces with many cutouts also take longer to produce because the laser has to pierce the metal for each breakthrough. This is particularly true if the cutouts are small (e.g. in the area of the thickness of the sheet metal) – then the puncture must be made slowly with low power, otherwise the puncture crater will be larger than the cutout. The savings tip at this point is, if possible, to avoid structures that are too fine and small holes.<\/p>\n\n

Fixed costs<\/h3>\n\n

As in every trade, we also have certain fixed costs that have to be covered. These include, among others:<\/p>\n\n
