Processes
TAP Fabrication delivers precision with their computer driven laser, router, and beam saw. Our oversized 1,000 watt 5’x8’ bed laser cutters produce perfect 90° corners and razor-sharp acute angles. With the laser, there is no need for hold down space, clamps, or jigs. The laser leaves a smooth, finished edge and minimizes material waste. It's fast, simple, and accurate! TAP’s computer numerical control (CNC) router easily cuts through thick acrylic, and materials that can’t be done on the laser, like HDPE, StarBoard, PVC, Polycarbonate and ABS. Routing leaves a flat, perpendicular edge that is ideal for gluing. Our CNC beam saw allows for repeated highly accurate cutting in large quantities, when uniformity is key.
