48 Laser-Cut Metal Pergola Ideas for Added Style and Shade ☘️

Laser cutting is a method of metal fabrication used to cut complex shapes into sheet metal. The process takes electronic data from a CAD drawing or 3D modelling software, and then creates flat form parts by burning or melting the metal.

Laser cutting works by moving a laser beam into the cutting area, which burns or melts the metal. Then an assist gas is used to clear the cut zone of the molten material, producing a cut.

Laser cutting works best on carbon steel or stainless steel, and an operator needs to train for many hours to run a laser efficiently and accurately.

Laser cutting is a more precise method of metal cutting than other methods, so it results in higher accuracy cuts and a finer quality finish. The machines are fast and reliable, so laser cutting can decrease turnaround times and provide a more cost effective method of cutting.

Laser cutting machines are also flexible, offering practically unlimited choice when it comes to patterns.

Laser cutting can be used to create bespoke laser cut metal screens with perforated laser designs, ideal for decorative wall art, displays and exhibitions, garden buildings and much more.

You can incorporate your own unique personalised touch, such as a company logo, family crest, design brand, or personalised motif, to create innovative, unique screens or panels.

Laser cutting offers a wonderful range of aesthetic possibilities. You can choose from modern, traditional, contemporary and classic designs, or create your own pattern incorporating your company’s brand identity.

It’s also possible to mix laser cutting with engraving for a truly unique decorative effect. Think about the way your design interacts with light, as laser cut screens can be used to diffuse light in an interior, or to decorate the exterior of a building.
