In our modern society we are observing a fast-developing situation: the rapid rise of raw steel prices. In the last two months, for example, steel prices in the U.S. have jumped 30%. This is a critical situation especially for manufacturers that use steel for their products and building projects. Many of them are small and midsize businesses, which can’t easily face price increases. Especially at a time that is also characterized by a general recession. Certainly raw material factors are still the primary contributor to the sharp rise in steel prices even if also the global demand is certainly playing such crucial role. In this particular situation, economy in the use of material has always been a major promotional point for laser cutting machines but this probably has more relevance today than it ever has. As we have already said, steel prices are rising almost daily and some items are beginning to become scarce. It seems that this situation is going to get much worse before it gets better. Laser cut components can be nested very closely to obtain maximum yield and therefore minimum cost. This production method assures, in fact, perfection in the production of items avoiding at the same time the need for expensive hard tooling.
