I use to make laser machines, so 0.5mm is easy to cut with a laser no clean up at all. You will need to keep the exposed side (within the game) protected with the film right up to issue to the customer.
- If the laser file is prepared and issued to the sheetmetal / laser company they just have to programme the order of the cuts and away they go.
- 0.5mm SS will be either 1200 x 2400mm or 1200 x 3000mm so you should get about 6 - 7 sets out of 1 sheet.
- laser cut fees will be anything from $150 to $300 per hour but once a sheet is on the deck they should be able to cut 6-7 sets in about 20 mins.
I will send a PM with some other details.
