Coil-fed laser cutting systems offer unmatched efficiency by processing metal directly from coils, which are typically 5–10% cheaper than sheets. With optimized nesting across the continuous length, material savings reach 5–15% compared to sheet-fed systems. This combination can deliver a ROI in as little as 6–12 months for high-production facilities. For example, a plant consuming 8 coils per day could save hundreds of thousands annually in raw material costs alone.
Space and logistics are also optimized—coils take up 50% less warehouse space than sheets, reducing storage expenses and improving workflow. The automated uncoiling, leveling, cutting, and unloading process reduces labor needs, often requiring 30–50% (1-2) fewer operators than equivalent sheet-fed setups. Capable of continuous production over thousands of meters without stopping, coil-fed lasers can match or exceed the productivity of stamping presses while offering far greater flexibility and no need for expensive tooling.
Sheet-fed lasers are a versatile solution for facilities producing a variety of parts with frequent material changes. While material costs are higher compared to coils—sheets can be 5–10% more expensive—they offer greater flexibility in sourcing and are suitable for smaller batch sizes or custom orders. However, material utilization is typically 5–15% less efficient than coil-fed systems due to layout limitations on standard sheet sizes.
In terms of space, sheet storage requires roughly double the warehouse area compared to equivalent coil stock. Operators must also manually load and unload sheets, leading to higher labor requirements than automated coil-fed systems. While production speeds are lower for large-scale runs, modern sheet-fed lasers still deliver excellent precision and can handle a wide range of thicknesses, making them an attractive choice for mixed production environments.
Stamping presses excel in mass production with stable part designs, offering output speeds up to 3–5 times faster than laser systems. However, the initial tooling investment is high, and changing part designs can require entirely new dies—often costing tens of thousands. Material utilization is also less efficient, with scrap rates typically 10–20% higher than coil-fed lasers.
Press lines occupy significant floor space, often over 30% more than equivalent laser setups, and require heavy-duty infrastructure. They also demand larger operator teams, sometimes up to twice the manpower compared to coil-fed automation. While unbeatable in high-volume scenarios with no design changes, presses lack flexibility and can be cost-prohibitive when agility and design variation are needed.

Our Clients Love Us
One of our automotive industrie clients switched to our coil-fed laser system and saved over $290,000 annually on 2mm thikness material costs alone by reducing scrap and optimizing nesting. Production speed increased by 20% with no die changeovers (compare to tipical sheet laser)
Proven Savings with Coil-Fed Laser Blanking
See how our clients transform their production.
After switching to a coil-fed laser cutting system, our production — using 8 coils per day — saw immediate material savings. ✅ We save up to 3 tons per coil, which adds up to 24 tons per day. That’s 576 tons per month, or $576,000 saved just on reduced waste (at $1000/ton). 📉 Plus, coil material is on average 5% cheaper than sheet. With over 17,000 tons purchased yearly, that's another $864,000 in savings. This system paid for itself in less than 6 months. A must-have for any high-volume metal processor."
