Laser Cutting SS

Anyone any first hand experience of what the state of the art laser cutters do on thin (0.7 - 1.0mm ) stainless sheet?
I would hope for a very clean edge but what about colouration of the cut edges?
Is it a one step process from raw to finished item?

Yes, they make a marvellous job at these thickness's.
They cut SS with nitrogen so stop surface cracks and so there is no discolouration at all, the cut edge is silver shiny.

Here is a picture of some 1mm stainless which we cut at work, it was cut on a 4kw Trumpf 3030.
If you need more info / help just ask
