Whats the difference between laser cutting, water jet cutting, and plasma cutting? I have an intricate pattern I want to cut into 3003 aluminum sheet (0.1" to .25" thick)
Different costs, capabilities, edge condition.
These kinds of things can be quite expensive. Get a quote for each if possible. Then, ask to look at a sample of what it does to the aluminum. Water will be the cleanest. Laser leaves a little bit of an edge and discoloration. Plasma would be way cheaper if it works for al (it should), but does leave a little more discoloration on the edge. Be sure to ask how the machine is programmed as well; if you can generate a program or maybe a point list they can import, you will save a lot.
