What is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is a fabrication process that utilizes a focused and powerful laser beam to cut, engrave, or etch materials. Laser cutters, unlike traditional mechanical cutting tools, do not come into contact with the material; they vaporize or melt the material using concentrated energy.
Benefits of contactless laser cutting include:
- Pinpoint accuracy for detailed cuts and complex shapes
- Smooth, sealed edges needing little to no post-processing
- Speed - perfect for scale jobs or fast-turn jobs
Unlike traditional cutting methods, laser cutting delivers:
- Clean, polished edges
- Tight tolerances
- Minimal material waste
- High repeatability
From acrylic display cases to custom electronic enclosures, laser cutting can provide solutions to any industry, from aerospace to retail.
At Welch Plastics, we use cutting-edge equipment to ensure every project meets exact specifications—whether it's a one-off custom piece or large-scale production.

Benefits of Laser Cutting for Plastic Fabrication
Laser cutting offers many competitive advantages over traditional methods, whether you are designing a one-off prototype or scaling up to mass production.
Unmatched Accuracy
Laser cutters can achieve tolerances of .001 inches with ease. Therefore, they are ideal for:
- Medical devices
- Aerospace parts
- Enclosures for electronics
- Custom logos and engravings
Design Flexibility
Since you are using digital CAD files, designs can easily be amended or updated on the fly. Laser cut designs can feature intricate curves, detailed cut-out patterns, and geometries and designs that would not have been possible using older methods of cutting.
Compatible with Many Materials
Laser cutting is not limited to plastics; it is also effective with:
- Wood
- Metals
- Composites
- Fabrics
- Glass (for engraving)
Because of this flexibility, laser cutting is the preferred option in many industries.
Faster Lead Times
When compared to CNC routing or manual cutting, laser cutting is considerably faster, making it a preferred option for low-volume or high-volume production.
| Feature | Laser Cutting | Traditional Cutting |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | High | Moderate |
| Edge Finish | Smooth & polished | Rough |
| Speed | Fast | Slower |
| Waste | Minimal | Higher |
| Complexity | Handles intricate designs | Limited |
Laser cutting is the clear choice when quality and precision matter.

Custom Laser Cutting vs Traditional Cutting Methods
With low material waste, no tooling costs, and low labour costs, laser cutting can offer excellent ROI. Especially when used for custom plastic fabrication as support components for larger injection molded components.
Laser Cutting vs. Injection Molding
Now this brings up the question that many of our clients are asking us lately, 'Is laser cutting better than injection molding?' And while this might seem simple, the answer is complicated because there are different issues to evaluate depending on what we are trying to accomplish.
| Features | Laser Cutting | Injection Molding |
| Setup Cost | Low | High (there is a beginning commitment to mold the part) |
| Best Suited for | Prototypes & small runs | Mass production |
| Flexibility | Customizable | Fixed once the mold is created |
| Lead time | Fast | Moderate - Long |
| Design Changes | Easy | Potentially Expensive - time-consuming |
👉 Laser cutting is the right solution for shorter run jobs that need a fast turnaround or need fast custom fabrication at a low cost.
👉 Injection molding is the right solution for production that is high volume and of consistent quality.
At Welch Plastics, we offer both laser cutting and injection molding, and we will help you find the best solution for you based on your timeline, budget, and end use.
