Due to the HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) and reflective nature of SS, you
might want to also look at AWJ (Abrasive Water Jet), which is slower and
generates a wider kerf, but has zero HAZ and doesn't care about
reflectivity. Usually, AWJ cut parts are stacked MANY deep since AWJ is
more efficient as the parts get thicker.
Another option is plasma cutting, often cheaper than laser, it has a
wider kerf than laser, but is a cheap system to maintain and run. Keith
Fenner on YouTube has some pretty impressive demos of cutting sheet
goods at high speed.
