Re: Lasercutting Spur Gears?
Laser cutting is used best on sheetmetal application like that. You could laser cut an aluminum sprocket but be careful with your material choice or you'll destroy the teeth pretty quick.
My $0.02 If I had free access to laser cutting I would design the entire frame structure out of monocoque aluminum to save weight. I would bend everything on a press brake, and use solid aluminum (aircraft style) rivets to assemble it. That is how I see the best application of that manufacturing method anyway. -Pete Last edited by Peter Matteson : 08-04-2004 at 16:09. Reason: poor grammer |
