G’day, mates! When it comes to our world of fabrication and laser cutting, I reckon we all know the sheer importance of nailing that quote right off the bat. But don’t you sometimes feel like pulling your hair out with the traditional ways? Well, you’re not alone. Back in my early CNC operating days, I […]
There are several strategies that a fabrication job shop can consider to improve profitability: Streamline the production process: Identifying and addressing bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the production process can help to reduce costs and increase output, which can improve profitability. Software such as RanFab’s implementation can easily integrate this approach into your workflow. Increase utilisation […]
There are several factors that can influence the cost of a laser cut part, including the material being cut, the thickness of the material, the complexity of the design, the size of the part, and the quantity being produced. To calculate the cost of a laser cut part, you will need to consider each of […]
The type of materials to be cut, the size and complexity of the components, and the production volume will all affect the ideal laser-cutting equipment for a contract-cutting business. When choosing a laser-cutting device, keep the following in mind: Laser sources: such as CO2, fibre, or Nd: YAG, are more effective in cutting particular types of […]
There are many things that a fabrication business can do to increase profitability, including the following: Focus on efficiency: One way to be more profitable is to increase efficiency in all aspects of the business, from design and engineering to manufacturing and delivery. This can include using advanced software and automation to streamline processes, reducing […]
Nesting software is used to optimise the placement of 2D parts on a flat sheet of material to minimize waste and maximize material utilisation. Here are some key differences between a good and an average nesting software solution: Efficiency: A good nesting software solution should generate efficient and effective nest layouts quickly, even for large […]
There are many ways that software can help a fabrication business. Some examples include: CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software: This software allows engineers and designers to create detailed, accurate models and drawings of the parts or products that will be fabricated. These models can be used to develop production-ready drawings for manufacturing and simulate and test […]
Laser cutting is a fabrication process that uses a focused laser beam to cut materials, such as metal, plastic, or wood. It is a good option for many applications because it is fast, precise, and produces high-quality cuts with smooth edges. One of the key advantages of laser cutting is its high level of precision. […]
