Made by Het Laser Lokaal

Custom laser cutting

A panel with exactly the right cutouts. A display that slides together. Components for your own product. We cut your design from sheet material, from a single piece to a complete series.

From flat sheet to your product

Panels and enclosures

Recesses for connections, mounting holes and the outer shape: you include them all in your drawing. Loose panels can thus form a single enclosure, as in this example.

More technical applications

Displays and product holders

A product presentation does not have to be transported in one piece. This display for Zintenz is made of 6 mm poplar plywood and was shipped as a flat-pack.

Building sets and construction

Using appropriately designed joints, you can transform flat components into a three-dimensional product. For Zappie's construction kits, we cut various parts from birch plywood.

The material makes all the difference

You choose something different for a sturdy construction than for a transparent viewing panel or a protective inlay.

  • Plywood and MDF: for DIY kits, displays, models, and flat parts. Poplar plywood is light; MDF has no wood grain.
  • Acrylic: for clear, coloured, or mirrored viewing parts, such as panels, letters, and product holders.
  • Foam, rubber, and cardboard: for inlays, gaskets, and light models, among other things. The suitable type depends on the application.

Sheet with model kit parts during laser cutting

The shape you're drawing

A curved contour, a small hole, or a series of cut-outs: you capture them in your drawing. The laser cuts the outer shape and the openings from the same sheet.

EPIQ logo engraved on die-cut metallic gold acrylic coins

Details engraved

Give your part a logo, text, or a useful marking. You can combine cutting and engraving in the same design, as with these coins made of gold-colored acrylic for EPIQ.

Multiple numbered kit components together in a flat sheet

Multiple parts in one file

A product can consist of a complete set of flat parts. Group the parts compactly and add numbers or markings where necessary, so that the set remains identifiable after production.

A trial element. Or directly a series.

Want to see how your design turns out first? Order a single part and assess the fit, appearance, and use. Is everything to your liking? Then use the same file for your series.

You can also calculate and order large quantities directly online. If you still need internal approval, you can save the calculation as a quote and order later.

Need a previous order again? From your account, you can reorder it. The price and material availability will be recalculated.

Practical questions about laser cutting

An AI, EPS, DXF, SVG, or PDF file with visible vector lines, at actual size in millimeters. This defines the shape, cutouts, and any engravings. View the drawing rules with examples for preparing your file.

Yes. Within the same laser cutting job, you can engrave lines or surfaces, for example, for text, a logo, or markings. The contour of the part will be cut out. You can see how to set up the operations at how to order.

Do you want to engrave an existing product? Then read more about product engraving.

That depends on the material and the time required for cutting and engraving. Your design, thickness, and quantity together determine the total price. Upload your file and set up your order to view the price before ordering. Read more about pricing.

We produce in our own workshop in Wormerveer. When ordering, you will see which production speeds are available and when you can expect the laser work. Choose the schedule that suits your order and check the shipping option before placing your order.

That depends on the material. Plywood and brown MDF get a dark cutting edge; transparent acrylic gets a clear edge. On wood, smoke stains can appear around the cut. Protective film can limit this, if it is available for the chosen material.

The material page tells you more about the finish. Do you want to see it for yourself first? Order a material sample.

Yes, for example with slots and tabs for a kit or display. In your drawing, take into account the actual plate thickness and the material that the laser removes along the cutting line. With a small test part, you can test the fit before ordering a new construction in series. Also, check the drawing rules.

Your own material is also possible if it is suitable for our lasers. Tell us what material you want to use and what you want to make with it; then we will see what is possible. On the additional services page, you can read how to arrange this with us.

No, we do not laser cut non-metallic sheet materials. We do not offer metalworking, milling or printing. In the materials overview you can find the materials that you can have cut by us.
