How to compare fiber laser offers

Compare the same configuration

Power of the laser source, working area, cutting head, control and table type must match. A 3 kW open machine and a 2 kW enclosed machine with shuttle tables are different investments.

Read the delivery basis

EXW Istanbul or EXW Bursa means the price is at the factory. Transport, insurance, unloading and duties are added. “Net + delivery” is not the same as “delivered and installed”.

List what is included

Installation, training, technician travel, chiller, extraction, compressor, software licences and warranty length. Missing items are unknown costs – never zero.

Keep currencies separate

An offer in USD and one in EUR are compared at a stated rate and date. The supplier decides the currency of the real offer.
