HOW IS LASER CUTTING PRICED?

Laser cutting is typically priced by the hour, with the cost depending on the power of the laser cutter and the complexity of the design. Higher-powered laser cutters can cut through thicker materials faster, so they are generally less expensive to use.

Laser cutting services also charge differently for simple and complex designs. Simple designs can be cut quickly and easily, while complex designs may take longer to cut and may require additional time. We use a quoting program which is why a vector file is required for the quote.
