Laser Cutting Platinum
Our company is looking for a high powered laser to cut platinum tubing up to 120 thousands wall thickness. We are looking for a 4 axis laser that will cut tubing into small pieces about 2mm thick. What company would you suggest? Has anyone ever used a laser to cut PT? Colin Marker- tiffanycolin
