Laser Cutting Speed & Power Estimator

Determine feed speed and laser wattage based on metal type and sheet thickness.

Material Type:

Sheet Thickness (mm):

Laser Source Power (Watts):

Result

3.8 m/min

Stainless Steel 3mm (3000W Fiber)

Methodology & Formulas

Feed Speed ≈ (Power (kW) × Material Factor) / Thickness (mm)

Optimal laser cutting parameters minimize burr formation and heat-affected zones (HAZ). Nitrogen high-pressure cutting produces clean oxide-free weldable edges.
