- 10 Years of Experience in Plasma Cutting
- Thousands of Satisfied Customers
- Committed to Exceptional Customer Service
- Modern, High-Quality CNC Plasma Cutting Machine
- We Cut Hot-Rolled Steel and Aluminum
- Cost-Effective and High Quality Production
Our precision plasma cutting capabilities allow us to produce unmatched quality components.
At Elimold, we are proud to offer expert CNC plasma cutting services to help you realize your custom metal projects. Having the capacity to provide plasma cutting in addition to welding, fabrication, machining, shearing, and forming, we’ve helped designers, artists, homeowners, engineers, contractors, and businesses create a wide variety of long-lasting, highly functional pieces.
Our CNC plasma cutting machine allows us to make uniform cuts out of hot-rolled steel and aluminum. With this equipment, we can quickly and cost effectively cut out intricate designs, shapes, lettering, and curves to create personalized objects, artistic pieces, prototypes, and production parts. It proves to be one of the most cost-efficient methods for cutting large sheet metal because of its ability to combine both speed and precision to give the exact dimensions for the piece you are looking for.
To get started, you can either send us a .dxf file or work with us to create one. This file is what we use to program our plasma cutter to cut your design. We provide CNC high-definition plasma cutting services using 400-amp dual-head 4-axis equipment. Our cutting table is 10 feet wide by 90 feet long and can produce various components up to three inches thick while holding some of the tightest tolerances in the industry. we can proceed with any forming, machining, or welding on site to complete the fabrication of your project.
Our typical lead times may be as short as 1-2 weeks, depending on the project’s details.

Plasma Cutting Considerations
Depending on your application you will need to consider the following factors in choosing plasma cutting. Parts that require extreme precision will benefit from laser cutting for stringent tolerances.
- An oxide layer will be present on the cut surface.
- For all metals, but particularly aluminum, the cut edge will be rough.
- Cut edges may experience some pitting. Pitting can be as large as the thickness of the material.
- Edge angles are not exactly 90%, many times the deviation can be as much as 10 – 20%
- Intricate parts might experience some warping, in these cases your welding pro will find a better solution.

Advantages of Plasma Cutting
- Lower cost – One of the big benefits is the lower cost of a plasma cutting service compared to other cutting methods. The lower price for the service derives from different aspects – operational costs and speed.
- High speed – Plasma cutting service’s one of the main benefits is its quickness. This is especially evident with metal plates, while laser cutting is competitive when it comes to sheet cutting. The increased speed enables to produce larger quantities in a given time-frame, lessening the cost per part.
- Low operational requirements – Another important factor to keep service prices down. Plasma cutters use compressed air and electricity to operate. This means that there is no expensive equipment needed to accompany a plasma cutter.
- Low heat input – Plasma cutters focus the outgoing plasma jet using a nozzle. This concentrates the energy into a small dot, meaning that the energy requirements are not that great to perform a cut.
- Small heat-affected zone – The material properties and microstructure change in the HAZ. It can also cause material warping. Therefore, keeping the zone small is one of plasma cutting’s advantages.
- Good quality – Plasma cutting provides good clean cuts, especially with small to medium size thicknesses (up to 30 mm), although its cutting kerf is larger compared to other methods.
- Short preparation time – The prep time is kept to a minimum because there is no need for preheating the metal before cutting.
- Versatility – This cutting method lets you cut through a stack of material or use it for bevelling, shape cutting, gouging and piercing. All these possibilities make it possible to fulfil many different needs with one operation.
