American Laser Cutter: Your Los Angeles Fabrication Shop

American Laser Cutter is a modern fabrication shop in Downtown Los Angeles, delivering precise laser cutting and engraving for projects that demand clean edges, tight tolerances, and repeatable quality. Whether you’re developing a prototype, standardizing a short run, or scaling to ongoing production, we turn well-prepared vector files into finished parts with consistency you can count on—across wood, acrylic, paperboard, and other laser-safe materials.

What We Do

• Laser Cutting & Engraving: Crisp cuts, detailed surface marks, and accurate score lines for assemblies, jigs, signage, packaging components, architectural models, and product housings.

• Prototyping to Production: From one-off validation parts to steady batches with clear specs and labeling so your downstream work stays organized.

• Assembly-Ready Output: Parts arrive cleanly cut with protective masking options on request and straightforward sorting so you can move fast.

Materials & Workflows

Our focus is on materials that machine cleanly and predictably, including acrylic, plywood/hardwoods, paperboard, and select plastics approved for laser processing. You’re welcome to provide your own laser-safe material when that’s the best path for color, thickness, or brand requirements. We’ll confirm settings and run tests as needed to ensure consistent results with your specified stock.

File Requirements (Vector Only)

For the fastest, most accurate fabrication, send vector files in AI, DXF, or PDF. We do not accept raster formats (e.g., JPEG or PNG) for cutting or engraving paths. Organize layers by operation (cut/score/engrave) and include stroke colors or naming conventions if you already use them. This keeps quoting and production smooth and reduces the chance of revision loops.

Why Teams Choose Us

• Precision & Repeatability: Calibrated workflows, material-specific settings, and attention to tolerances.

• Clear Communication: Straightforward feedback on manufacturability so you can make informed choices early.

• Flexible Batches: Order what you need now, and we’ll match settings later for consistent follow-ups.
