I've been on the fence about buying a laser cutter to manufacture thicker sheet metal parts with precision, now and I finally decided to give the ST-FC3015FM a go. Arrived to my workshop in 30 days. Assembled in 45 minutes, easy to operate with a short learning curve. I've been experiencing this machine for a few months, I'm already up and running and have cut out a lot of metal parts, most of which turned out quite well. From thinner 1/16-inch stainless steel sheets to thicker 1/2-inch duralumin plates, the ST-FC3015FM can cut easily and produce smooth and clean cut edges. Its user-friendly CNC controller system seamlessly integrates with the CAD software I have been using, allowing for fast file transfer and real-time cutting parameter debugging. A full-size 4x8-foot mild steel plate with a thickness of 1/8-inch can be automatically cut into 24 metal parts in 36 minutes without additional manual operation, simplifying production process, improving quality and efficiency. I'm happy with my purchase and I'm motivated to continue with my new business of custom automotive and aerospace parts. However, the initial cost is higher for home users and small businesses, but it is worth the money. All in all, it is a must-have tool for large metal fabricators and a top choice for companies serious about growth to increase productivity.
