Today, we're proud to announce the availability of fiber laser cutting for creating customer parts. Fiber laser cutting can offer important advantages over waterjet cutting, such as: 1. Narrower kerf, which allows improved fine details and inside corners 2. Significant cost savings on many parts. As of today, our online ordering system can give you instant quotes on fiber laser cut carbon steel, including hot roll A36, cold finished 1018, and others. We're still proud to offer waterjet cutting. In fact, it's ideal in many cases like aluminum alloys where the heat from the laser can create a heat affected zone and ruin the heat treating. Waterjet cutting also works on many materials that the fiber laser simply can't cut, like polycarbonate and other plastics. Over time, we'll keep expanding the materials available for fiber laser cutting. Check out our sample parts and choose a carbon steel material to compare the prices for fiber laser parts. Or better yet, upload your own design for an instant quote! Big Blue Saw Featured In Industrial Machinery Digest Details Written by BBS Admin Parent Category: Big Blue Saw Blog Created: 18 August 2021 Recently, Big Blue Saw was featured in Industrial Machinery Digest, with an article covering Big Blue Saw's past, present, and future. Here's what Russ Willcutt wrote about us: Nothing has been abandoned while these gains have been made, though, Arthur says: “All of our customers were hobbyists in the early years. They were just excited to find a site where they could get the custom parts they needed quickly, easily, and at a reasonable cost. So they remain a central part of our business, as they will.” At the same time, Big Blue Saw has expanded its horizons, collaborating with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Microsoft, for instance, leading a field of big-name enterprises attracted to the company’s business model and output. We're grateful to Russ and IMD for writing such a nice profile. Check out the full article at Industrial Machinery Digest. A Note From Big Blue Saw’s Founder And CEO Details Written by Simon Arthur Parent Category: Big Blue Saw Blog Created: 09 August 2021 Widespread raw material shortages and price increases have been in the news for months. Many of you are probably experiencing this directly in your businesses or personal lives.
