Introducing Our Newest Capability: Flatbed Laser Cutting
Inside This Article
At LaserMed Technologies, we push our manufacturing capabilities forward — not incrementally, but deliberately. Our latest addition is a state-of-the-art flatbed laser cutter, and it changes what we can deliver for clients in medical device and aerospace manufacturing.
This machine handles materials including Nitinol and stainless steel up to 1/8" thick, with a cutting surface of up to 4 square feet. That combination of material range and work area opens doors for larger, more complex components that our previous setup couldn't accommodate.
Precision Cutting at Scale
Flatbed laser cutting brings a level of dimensional accuracy that conventional cutting methods can't match at this scale. Whether we're cutting intricate geometries for precision tube-cut components or flat profiles destined for device assembly, the flatbed cutter holds tight tolerances across the full cutting surface — not just at the center. That consistency matters when your parts are going into a regulated medical device or a flight-critical aerospace assembly.
Faster Turnarounds, More Flexibility
The flatbed laser cutter significantly reduces cycle times on larger orders. Jobs that previously required multiple setups or outsourced cutting now run in-house, in a fraction of the time. For clients prototyping new components, that speed is tangible — tighter iteration loops, faster decisions, and a shorter path to production. For production runs, the efficiency compounds. This is the kind of capability that helps accelerate your time to market without trading away quality. It complements our existing device assembly and packaging workflow, keeping more of your supply chain under one roof.
What's Coming Next
The flatbed laser cutter is one piece of a larger build-out. We're also developing in-house metal 3D printing capabilities — a natural extension of our precision manufacturing focus. Together, these additions position LaserMed to handle more of the product development cycle, from early prototype and molding work through production-ready parts. If you're heading to MDM West 2025, find us at Peterson Enterprises' booth — we'll be talking through these capabilities in person.
