Fibre Laser 20kW
At Sprint Material Processing, our 20kW fibre laser delivers the precision and productivity that modern material processing demands. Fibre laser technology gives us the speed to move through large production runs and the accuracy to hold tight tolerances on intricate designs, all from the one cutting machine.
With up to 20kW of power, your projects are processed faster and cut cleaner. Whether you need sheet metal cutting for a custom component or thicker materials for a structural build, our fibre technology keeps up with a wide range of materials and delivers production-ready parts.
How Fibre Laser Cutting Works
A fibre laser generates its laser beam through an optical fibre rather than the mirrors and gas tubes used by older laser systems. This solid state laser design produces a focused laser beam with high beam quality and a shorter wavelength, which is exactly why fibre lasers excel at cutting metal.
The focused laser beam heats the material surface to the point where it melts and the molten material is blown clear, leaving a clean, accurate edge. Because the beam is so tightly focused, the cutting process holds high precision across many materials and various thicknesses, from cutting sheet metal through to heavy plate. The same fibre laser technology that powers high-end engraving machines and laser engraving applications is what gives our cutting its detail and repeatability.
The key benefits for our clients are clear:
- Speed: faster cutting speed than older laser machines, lifting output without sacrificing accuracy.
- Efficiency: fibre laser machines draw less energy, so lower energy consumption on every job.
- Reliability: fewer moving optics means minimal maintenance and consistent performance.
- Reach: the shorter wavelength handles reflective metals and thicker metals that challenge other laser cutters.
Our laser cutting machine is an automated Bystronic ByStar fibre laser, configured for accuracy, repeatability, and continuous output.

- Unmanned operation during off-shifts
Our 20kW fibre laser cutter cuts a broad range of cutting materials, and the right settings change with material thickness. We work across the following thicknesses:
- Mild Steel: 0.6 – 32 mm
- Stainless Steel: 0.6 – 30 mm
- Aluminum: 0.6 – 30 mm
- Copper/Brass: Up to 20 mm
- Other: Corten, galvanised, nickel, floor plate
Because material properties such as reflectivity and thermal expansion change how each metal cuts, we match power, gas, and speed to the job so the result is consistent every time. Certain materials demand more care than others, and that control is what protects the structural integrity of every part we produce.
Built for Continuous, Unattended Production
Sprint provides high-quality laser cutting using a 20kW fibre laser with automated material handling. The system is designed for continuous, unattended operation, allowing for lights-out production with no operator required at the machine.
Automated loading and unloading improves consistency, reduces handling time, and keeps jobs moving efficiently, even outside normal working hours. This setup lets us produce parts accurately and repeatably across single jobs and long production runs. Clean cuts, tight tolerances, and dependable output are standard.
Laser cutting is fully integrated into our workshop, so parts move directly into pressing or fabrication without unnecessary delays. That integrated workflow is a core part of how we reduce lead times and keep quality consistent from cutting through to finished component.
Frequently Asked Questions
We cut carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass, along with Corten, galvanised steel, nickel, and floor plate. Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals are supported, including reflective metals.
Our 20kW fibre laser cuts mild steel up to 32 mm, stainless steel and aluminium up to 30 mm, and copper and brass up to 20 mm. The minimum thickness across most materials is 0.6 mm.
Fibre laser technology uses a focused laser beam delivered through an optical fibre, giving higher beam quality, faster cutting speed, lower energy consumption, and minimal maintenance compared with older laser systems. It also cuts thicker metals and reflective metals more effectively.
Upload your drawings and we typically return a detailed quote within hours, covering material, cutting, bending, and finishing. We offer same-day quoting where possible.
Yes. Our automated cutting machine suits single custom parts for small businesses as well as long production runs, with consistent accuracy across both.
