Stephens Gaskets is a trusted name in laser cutting for the automotive industry. With decades of experience and the latest laser technology, we provide precision-cut components for a wide range of automotive applications.
Whether it’s for prototyping, mass production, or bespoke one-offs, our team ensures every part meets the exact standards expected in this fast-paced, safety-critical sector.
What Is Laser Cutting for Automotive?
Laser cutting for automotive applications involves using high-powered fibre or CO₂ lasers to cut metal or plastic components to exact tolerances. This technique enables quick turnaround, complex geometries, and clean edges without the need for secondary finishing.
Why Use Laser Cutting in the Automotive Sector?
- Precision at Scale:
Tight tolerances and repeatability are crucial. Our systems can produce thousands of identical parts or single prototypes with equal accuracy. - Speed to Market:
Laser cutting reduces lead times. It’s ideal for development stages or production when timing is critical. - Material Versatility:
We work with aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel, copper, and technical plastics. Each is suitable for different automotive systems, including engine mounts, exhaust assemblies, and interior fixtures. - Cost-Efficiency:
Especially for small batches or highly detailed components, laser cutting minimises tooling costs and waste.
Automotive Components We Laser Cut
- Gaskets and shims.
- Heat shields.
- Brackets and flanges.
- Sensor housings.
- Custom washers.
- Battery casing parts (EV sector).
- Trim components.
If it needs precision and performance, we can cut it.
Materials Used for Automotive Laser Parts
- Stainless Steel: for corrosion resistance and strength.
- Aluminium: lightweight and conductive, ideal for EVs.
- Mild Steel: cost-effective structural use.
- Copper & Brass: for electrical conductivity.
- Plastics: for non-conductive or lightweight needs.
All materials are traceable and meet automotive-grade standards.
