Laser Cutting and Laser Engraving
SDM works with a local partner firm to laser cut parts to help meet our clients’ budget. Laser cutting enables high precision and complex cutting of a diverse range of materials, without the need for an investment in special tooling. Laser Engraving is available if necessary, and allows SDM to precisely mark or label parts, on a wide range of materials.
 
Water Jet Cutting
SDM has partnered with a waterjet cutting firm to help meet our customers’ manufacturing and budget requirements. Waterjet equipment gives us the ability to cut various metals, plastics and other materials with cold water in order to prevent melting or warpage. Waterjet cuts parts within tolerances as tight as +/- .004, thus saving on precision machining operations further down the supply chain.
