CNC Fibre
Laser Cutting
MCS cuts flat sheet on a CNC fibre laser: perforated façades, decorative screens, profiles and custom architectural parts. Small details come out sharp, and every part in a run is cut to the same accuracy.

Questions and answers
Laser cutting:
questions
What file should I send?
A DXF or DWG at full size in millimetres is best. A PDF or a sketch with sizes also works, and our design desk draws the cut file for you to approve.
How thick can you cut?
Up to 16 mm mild steel and 8 mm stainless steel. For other metals, tell us the metal and thickness.
Can you cut a pattern from a picture?
Yes. Our design desk turns the picture into a cut file, and you approve it before cutting. The Perforation Pattern Studio shows hole patterns and their open area.
Do you only cut, or bend as well?
Both. Send only the laser cutting, or the complete part: cut, V-grooved, bent, welded and finished.

In detail
How MCS uses the laser
What it cuts
Stainless steel, mild steel, aluminium, brass and copper, in sheet from 0.25 mm to 4 mm thick. Harder and more reflective metals behave differently under the beam. That changes the quality of the edge and the smallest detail the cut can hold.
What MCS cuts with it
Perforated façade and ceiling panels, laser-cut screens and jaali, parametric fins and signage letters. It also cuts the flat blank for every folded profile in the range.
Patterns and perforation
Open area, hole size and pitch are cut from your file. MCS does not buy ready-perforated coil. That is why a pattern can stop cleanly before a fold line instead of running through it.
Nesting
Parts are nested on the sheet to control how much metal is used. On parametric work every panel is different, so nesting and part numbering matter as much as the shapes.
Cut edges
On a screen or a perforated panel, a cut edge is an edge people see. Deburring and edge treatment are part of the process, not something added at the end.
Files to send
DXF and DWG are preferred. A dimensioned PDF is enough for a simple section. For pattern work, send a vector file, so nothing has to be redrawn and no redrawing errors creep in.
The machine
The fibre laser at Narela
MCS cuts in its own workshop, on its own CNC fibre laser, an SLTL machine. Perforations, screens, profiles and one-off parts are all cut on its bed.

A part or pattern to cut
Send the DXF or DWG with the metal, thickness and quantity. MCS will check that the pattern can be cut as drawn and send the cost.
