Question 1

What does "as cut" mean?

Accepted Answer

It means the part is delivered directly from the laser cutting process without deburring, bead blasting, or other secondary finishes applied to the edge or surface.

Question 2

How does it differ from "as machined"?

Accepted Answer

As cut describes the condition after sheet metal laser cutting. As machined describes surfaces generated through CNC operations such as milling or turning.

Question 3

Will there always be a burr on the edge?

Accepted Answer

It depends on material, thickness, and cutting parameters. Some components may show micro-burrs or slight irregularities that can later be removed through deburring.

Question 4

Can another finish be applied afterward?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many parts start as cut and later receive deburring, bead blasting, bending, paint, powder coat, or CNC machining.

Question 5

Is it suitable for industrial production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is widely used for brackets, panels, blanks, and metal fabrication components where the main priorities are speed, contour precision, and manufacturing efficiency.
