RapidDirect’s custom plasma cutting services can be used for various applications such as mold tooling, rapid prototyping, and custom manufacturing, and more.
RapidDirect is committed to meeting and surpassing customer requirements and industry standards. Our high-precision plasma cutters cut with the highest accuracy and precision, regardless of the material type and design complexity.
Standards | Description |
Thickness | Aluminum≤40 mm, Steel≤50 mm, Stainless Steel≤50 mm |
Cutting Tolerance | The standard tolerance level for plasma cutting ranges between 0.1 to 0.2mm. This tolerance level depends majorly on the size of the part and general requirements. However, at RapidDirect, we adjust our tolerance levels to match our customer’s requirements. |
Cutting Area | The cutting area for thin sheet aluminum of up to 4mm thickness is 1000 x 2000mm, 1250 x 2500 mm, and 1500 x 3000mm.
While cutting area for thick sheets of steel over 4mm thickness is 1500 x 3000mm, 2000 x 3000mm, 1500 x 6000mm |
Lead time | 5 days or more |
Aluminum’s ability to reflect heat is one of the reasons why machinists favor this metal as a plasma-cutting material. It is also lightweight, non-corrosive, and highly malleable. Furthermore, aluminum is cost-effective, with a shorter plasma cutting time compared to other materials. Aluminum also has a high rate of recyclability, which helps reduce waste in the long term.
Subtypes: 2024, 5052, 5083, 6061, 6063, 6082, 7075
Steel is one of the most popular metals in machine shops due to its high machinability. Asides from machinability, steel has high tensile strength, ductility, and malleability. It is also very durable, with an aesthetically pleasing appearance. One major reason steel is ideal for plasma cutting is its high weldability, which allows it to withstand the stress caused by heat from the plasma cutter.
Subtypes: 1018, 1020, 1025, 1045, 1215, 4130, 4140, 4340, 5140,A36,ST37
Stainless steel is a metal alloy that contains at least 11% chromium. The chromium content of this metal gives it a glossy appearance. This metal is ideal for plasma cutting due to its strength at high temperatures, as it performs better than most metals. Stainless steel also has a high tensile strength and good plasticity. Besides, stainless steel is quite easy to machine.
Subtypes: 201, 303, 304, 316, 316L, 420, 430, 431, 304
Parts made using plasma cutting usually feature excellent finishes. At RapidDirect, we offer various custom finishing options that boost the produced part’s functionality, appearance, and durability.
Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture | Link |
Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. | Aluminum | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. | Smooth, matte finish. | Learn More>> | |
Bead Blasting | Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments. |

Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel |

Polishing |
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.

Plasma cutting affords both machinists and industries extensive benefits—little wonder why it has become the go-to process for metal fabrication. Plasma cutting facilitates the high-precision production of prototypes and parts regardless of volume. Here are the industrial applications of plasma cut parts according to industries.
Nearly every industry requires precise parts, and the aerospace industry is no exception. This industry also requires parts with excellent dimensional stability and tolerance standards. Plasma cutting facilitates the production of parts that are exactly needed for the proper functioning of aircraft parts like turbine engines.
The construction industry is one industry that uses plasma cutting quite often for fabricating steel and aluminum parts used in building construction. It also facilitates the creation of metal shapes that serve as decoration on buildings.
