Assume everything is clear of the design, the pattern is confirmed, the overall size is checked, the material and the color is chosen, etc., let’s take a look at how to make the laser cut metal screens.

First step: Make the pattern on screen by laser cutting.

Guess that’s the reason why we call it “ laser cut screens ”. Yes, make beautiful but complicated patterns by the laser cutting.

Laser cutting is a great invention which allows us make the irregular patterning on sheet metal in a short time, just like drawing, it will put the exact design you want on metal panel. Output the design from software to machinery; put the sheet metal on work table, that’s it.

Second step: Make the border / frame of the laser cut panel.

The border is needed for most screens. The simple way is to fold the sides of the screen to make it have a base, which make it stand on the place where we put it. First we need to have the margin on the laser cut panel for the sides, then bend the sides to make it.

If there is frame of the screen, need to connect the laser cut panel to the frames. Be careful to do the welding as it is the crucial part, the material character and the welding technology will be considered.

All the processes need to be done in a high level, remember we’re making a product for decoration purpose not making a functional part.

Third step: Color the screens.

Now we make the screen as a complete part, let’s color it. The color will added through the surface treatment. We can make the color by plating, powder coating and painting,etc. One kind of color can be made by different treatments, but the texture and the effect will be very different.

Some accessories will be added when it’s finished, like the sunshine stone, the acrylic,etc., and some holes is needed for installation, need to give the space for them and this will be considered on the drawing before we make it.
