Laser Cutting Stainless Steel: Precision, Industries & NSSC Expertise

When it comes to stainless steel, precision isn’t optional; it’s essential. At National Stainless Steel Centre (NSSC), laser cutting isn’t just about slicing through metal; it’s about engineering speed, consistency, and accuracy into every project. With state-of-the-art laser systems and decades of stainless expertise, NSSC has become a trusted partner for industries in South Africa and beyond.

Why Laser Cutting Stainless Steel Matters

Stainless steel’s strength and versatility make it ideal for industries from construction to food processing. But working with it requires accuracy; mistakes cost time and materials. Laser cutting technology provides:

• Tight tolerances and clean edges
• Reduced waste with optimised nesting
• Consistency across small or high-volume runs
• Compatibility with a wide range of grades (304, 316, 3CR12, Duplex and exotic alloys)

The result? Components that are ready to weld, assemble, or ship without rework.

NSSC’s Laser Cutting Capabilities

Operating from Kempton Park, near OR Tambo International Airport, NSSC offers:

• Cutting thickness: 0.5 mm to 30 mm stainless steel
• Plate size capacity: up to 6 m x 2 m
• Laser technology with fast turnaround and minimal distortion
• Automated sheet loaders for high-volume efficiency

This combination of advanced tech and process control ensures every order, whether a prototype or 10,000-unit batch meets ISO/TUV 9001 quality standards.

Industries That Depend on Laser Cutting
