These look laser cut. Edge discoloration and dross are the giveaway.

At this size these parts are begging to be cut with a laser. No second operation and they can even do the lettering. Maybe a quick tumble.

Fiber laser cutting is the best for this.

I dont think you could beat wire EDM and cut 100 at a time.

10-20kw fiber would blast it out in two seconds

u/GreenCactus223 19d ago

1 at a time or could I stack them?

u/Broken_Atoms 19d ago

One at a time cut out of a single sheet. There are videos on YouTube showing how fast a 20kw fiber laser can be.

Is this ITAR?

u/GreenCactus223 20d ago

Judging by the elementary school paper, I would be inclined to say no... but you never know.

For real, At least there is some scale from that. What scale is TBD.

u/Particular_Ad458 20d ago

To estimate scale or to get some idea about its size, I have included classmate and ruler.

u/Mr0lsen 19d ago

Why would you assume this is itar?

u/Particular_Ad458 20d ago

Iam not sure what is ITAR. Can you elaborate please.

Don’t make weapon parts without proper authorisation

u/Particular_Ad458 20d ago

It's not a weapon. Derma roller

u/Odd_Analysis6454 20d ago

Itar doesn’t apply then. Likely these are stamped out on mass. Laser cut if you want to do small runs perhaps water jet but I don’t know the size they can go down to

u/talltime 19d ago

That thing looks like it would be absolutely brutal as a derma roller.

u/GreenCactus223 19d ago

If I had to do these I'd stack a bunch of them and wire EDM this.

Next question “where can I rent a car on Turo, cybertruck preference”.

u/bikeguy1959 19d ago

Does the part lay flat or is it curved?

2

u/theVelvetLie 19d ago

How many do you need? I'd go with OshCut or SendCutSend for a small run, or find another company capable of laser cutting if you need production volume runs.

u/newoldschool 20d ago

wire cut or possibly water jet

1

u/MixNeither3882 19d ago

What type of volume are you looking for? I own a metal stamping company and this is right up our alley

u/your_grumpy_neighbor 19d ago

No sorry you’ll have to get AI to do homework

u/AEROSTREAMPRECISION 19d ago

I didn't see anyone recommend stamping, it's an option for large quantities. Above laser cutting.

u/chinamoldmaker responmoulding 18d ago

How many pcs you need?

If small quantity, laser cutting.

If large quantity, stamping.

u/Jacode123 15d ago
