Available Finishes
Standard Minimal post-processing or treatment on parts is done.
Anodized (Type II or Type III) Type II creates a corrosion-resistant finish. Parts can be anodized in different colors—clear, black, red, and gold are most common—and is usually associated with aluminum. Type III is thicker and creates a wear-resistant layer in addition to the corrosion resistance seen with Type II.
Powder Coat This is a process where powdered paint is sprayed onto a part which is then baked in an oven. This creates a strong, wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than standard painting methods. A wide variety of colors are available to create the desired aesthetic.
Chem Film (Chromate Conversion Coating) Provides corrosion resistance and good conductivity properties. Can be used as a base for paint. Can leave surface yellow/gold.

Available Types Of Plasma Cutters
2-Axis This is the most common and conventional form of a plasma cutter and operates like any traditional CNC sheet metal fabrication tool, producing flat profiles with straight edges. These plasma cutters are best for cutting large parts from thick material quickly and are more cost-efficient than CNC laser cutters for the same work.
3-Axis This type of CNC plasma cutter adds in an additional axis of rotation which allows the cutting tool to tilt and cut edges at an angle. This is extremely useful for cutting chamfers, countersunk holes or angled edges as part of weld preparation, which saves on secondary operations such as grinding or machining helping reduce overall cost.
Applications of Plasma Cutting
Blank Preparation
Plasma cutting can build near net shapes of conductive metals, making it perfect for material preparation.
Rapid Prototyping
The range of materials available, low cost per unit, and speed of production makes waterjet a great option for prototyping.
End-Use Production
Large format cutting, vast material options, and high throughput have made plasma cutting a favorable technology for end-use parts.
Advantages of Plasma Cutting
Durability Similar to CNC machining, sheet metal processes produce highly durable parts well-suited for both functional prototypes and end-use production.
Scalability All sheet metal parts are built on-demand and with lower setup costs compared to CNC Machining. Depending on your needs, order as little as a single prototype up to 10,000 production parts.
Material Selection Choose from a variety of sheet metals across a wide range of strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion resistance.
Rapid Turnaround Combining the latest cutting, bending, and punching with automated technologies, Tiandiao provides instant sheet quotes and completed parts often within a week.
Plasma Cutting General Tolerances
Description | General Tolerance |
Distance Dimensions | For features of size (Length, width, diameter) and location (position, concentricity, symmetry) + 0.125", -0.000 is typical. Material length and thickness may affect tolerances. |
Thickness Dimension | Thickness tolerances are determined by the material blank. |
Minimum Recommend Part Size | 1.000" |
Minimum Feature Size | 2X material thickness with a minimum of 1.000" |
Kerf (slit size) | Approximately 0.50" |
Edge Condition | Plasma edge will have vertical striations and be tapered. Upper edges may have a rounded area with top splatter. |
Why Use Plasma Cutting For Your Parts?
Plasma cutters are a good all-around sheet metal fabrication tools, though they lack the
material cutting diversity of waterjet cutters and don’t have the precision of laser cutters.
For larger sheet metal parts, plasma cutters are more cost-efficient than CNC laser cutters and
can cut thicker materials easily. Plus, they are easy to operate and can cut at high speeds
while maintaining precision.
Sheet metal offers a cost-effective way to fabricate
product device
panels, boxes and cases for a variety of applications. We build enclosures of all styles,
including rackmounts, “U” and “L” shapes, as well as consoles and consolets.
