The equipment
Amada’s fastest fiber laser, running 24/7
AST’s 9 kW Amada Regius 3015 AJ is Amada’s fastest laser cutting machine worldwide — ultra-high-speed, high-accuracy fiber cutting with quick setups, putting AST in a select group of metal fabricating companies.
It runs autonomously: the AMS-3015 CL material feeding tower loads sheets and the TK3015L parts picker robot unloads finished parts, so the laser cuts around the clock. For your job that means dramatically higher output and faster turnaround — prototype or production release through the same system, from one laser cutting shop in Grand Prairie, minutes from Dallas and Fort Worth.

| Material | Maximum thickness |
|---|---|
| HRS / CRS steel | 1″ |
| Stainless steel | 1″ |
| Aluminum | 1″ |
| Copper | ¾″ |
Accuracy
Precision laser cutting to ±0.003″
Precision laser cutting is what this equipment is built for. Laser profiling holds ±0.003″ dimensional tolerances on highly accurate, high-tolerance components. The 4,000-watt CO₂ system positions to 0.0002″, cuts at feed rates up to 3,150 inches per minute, and handles sheets up to 60″ × 120″ on a dual-pallet changer for quick setups.
Materials: HRS/CRS, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium in sheet and plate, backed by an ISO 9001:2015 quality system. See finished work in the laser cutting gallery.

Common questions
Laser cutting FAQs
How thick can your laser cut steel?
Up to 1″ in hot- and cold-rolled steel, stainless, and aluminum, and ¾″ in copper. The full breakdown by material and machine power is in how deep laser cutting can go — or send your print and we will confirm against our equipment.
What materials can you laser cut?
HRS/CRS steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium — from thin sheet up to the plate thickness limits above.
What tolerances can precision laser cutting hold?
Generally ±0.003″ dimensional tolerances, with 0.0002″ positioning accuracy on the CO₂ system. If your print calls for tighter, send it — we will tell you honestly what the process can hold. For the longer answer, read what the precision tolerance of laser cutting is.
What files do you need to quote laser cutting?
DXF, DWG, and STEP files quote fastest, although a dimensioned PDF works too. Include quantity, material, and thickness, so the number that comes back is the number you can buy at.
Can you handle production volumes?
That is what the automation is for. The material feeding tower and parts picking robot let the fiber laser load, cut, and unload around the clock — prototype today, production release through the same system.
