FAQ — questions and answers about laser cutting, CNC machining and 3D measurement

It starts with an inquiry: through the free quote form or by e-mail, you send the documentation and basic details — material, quantity and required date; you can also discuss the project by phone first. A technologist from the relevant department reviews the drawing, asks about details if anything is unclear and sends back an offer with a price and lead time. Once you accept the offer, we schedule production, and after final inspection we ship the finished parts by courier or prepare them for pickup in Janikowo.

Yes. A quote prepared from the documentation you send is free and non-binding. If information is missing, such as the material, tolerances, or quantity, we will ask before giving you a price.

The biggest factors are: the type and amount of material, machine time determined by the part's shape and required tolerances, the number of additional operations (e.g., cutting, milling, grinding, coating), and the preparation of programs and tooling. We incur this last cost once per batch, so the unit price drops as quantities increase. Our quote also covers any additional requirements, such as an inspection report.

Yes. Prototypes, short runs, and repeat production all go through the same machine park and the same quality control. A prototype lets you verify the design and assembly before you order a larger batch, and we incorporate the feedback from its acceptance into the production documentation.

Yes, this is one of the main advantages of ADJATECH. We perform laser cutting, milling, turning, saw cutting, grinding and polishing, engraving, and measurement at a single facility in Janikowo, and we can also apply special coatings within the same order. You get one contractor and one point of contact from file to finished part.

Yes. We select and order the material as part of the order: we keep some sheet and bar grades in stock, source the rest from suppliers, and confirm availability in the quote. If you prefer to work with your own material, we also accept customer-supplied material, and we check its grade, dimensions, and surface condition before machining.

Black steel, stainless and acid-resistant steel, aluminum and duralumin, brass, bronze, copper, and titanium, and on the router and machining centers also plastics, wood, and MDF. We keep some grades in stock and source the rest to order; we confirm availability in the quote.

The laser cuts sheet 0.5–25 mm thick from 1500×3000 mm and 1000×2000 mm sheets, the CNC router works on a 1500×2000 mm field, and the band saws take bars up to Ø250 mm and material up to 6 m long. The maximum dimensions of milled and turned parts depend on the specific machine — give the part size in your inquiry and we will select the machine. You can find ranges for individual sheet grades in the laser cutting materials table.

Inspection starts before the run: we measure the first piece in full and start the batch only after it is approved. During production, the operator checks dimensions at the workstation, and we perform a final inspection before shipping. For toleranced dimensions we use a Mitutoyo CMM coordinate measuring machine, and for freeform geometry a Scanology Simscan 42 3D scanner with a stated accuracy of 0.02 mm.

Yes. Adjatech Metalworking holds ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) certificates issued by TÜV Rheinland Polska, valid until 08.06.2029. The scope of certification covers the production of aluminum, bronze and brass castings and lettering. Scans of the documents are on the Certificates page.

Yes, if you request it in your inquiry. We include a PDF inspection report with the batch, containing CMM measurement results for the specified features or a deviation map from a 3D scan. We agree on the scope of inspection, e.g. first article, a sample from the batch, or selected dimensions on every part, together with the quote, because it affects the price.

Most often machine and structural components: mounting plates, brackets, flanges, ribs, guards and housing parts, as well as nameplates and decorative parts. Laser cutting works wherever the contour is complex and the part has to be made without costly tooling, for both prototypes and series production.

Usually not: with well-chosen parameters the edge is smooth and burr-free, and the blank is ready for assembly, welding or painting. If you need a higher surface grade, the part can go through grinding or polishing in our grinding shop.

A fiber laser gives a narrow kerf, an accurate contour and a small heat-affected zone — it works best on thin and medium sheet. Plasma can be cheaper on very thick plate, but leaves a wider and less even edge, and a waterjet does not heat the material but cuts more slowly. At ADJATECH we cut sheet with a fiber laser, and bars and profiles with a band saw.

Sheet grade and thickness, the quantity of each part, whether we supply the material or it is customer-supplied, and any requirements for further processing, e.g. deburring, grinding, engraving or coating. Add a DXF, DWG or SVG file with the contour. A complete inquiry shortens the path to a quote, because the process engineer does not need to ask about the basics.

Matte and satin grinding, polishing to a gloss or mirror finish, vibratory polishing of small parts, and surface preparation for painting, chrome plating, and gold plating. We work on belt, disc, and CNC grinders, semi-automatic machines, and robotic polishing systems.

Start with the function of the part. A component exposed to moisture and outdoor conditions usually needs a coating: powder coating, chrome, or PVD. A surface that mates with a seal or bearing needs grinding to a specified roughness. A visible, decorative part needs polishing or a satin finish. Describe in your inquiry where the part will operate, and we will propose a solution.

Powder coating, decorative and technical chrome plating, 24-karat gold plating, PVD and PTFE coatings, and ceramic coatings. Before applying a coating, we prepare the surface in our own grinding shop, because the coating reproduces the condition of the substrate.

The sequence is set by our process engineer. Machining and grinding usually come before coating, because the coating reproduces the condition of the substrate, and we do the marking before or after coating, depending on whether the mark is to be in the metal or in the coating layer. When all operations are in one order, we avoid damaging the finished surface in later stages.

We use drawings, models, and photos only to quote and carry out your order. We do not share them with other customers or publish them without your consent. When a project requires it, we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before you send the documentation.
