Material: Fiberglass (GFRP) Thickness: 3mm
Machines: Laser - Wire Cut - CNC Router - CNC Milling - Jigsaw
The best cutting machine for cutting cylinder-shaped objects made of Fiberglass (GFRP) depends on various factors such as the specific requirements of your project, the size and thickness of the cylinders, and your budget. Each of the machines you listed has its own advantages and limitations when it comes to cutting fiberglass materials. Let's go through each one:
Given the material (Fiberglass - GFRP) and the requirement for cutting cylindrical shapes, I would recommend considering a CNC Router. CNC Routers offer a good balance between precision, versatility, and cost-effectiveness for cutting cylinders made of fiberglass. They can handle thicker materials and create accurate cylindrical shapes efficiently.
Additionally, you can examine the water jet cutting machines. Different than the other methods, this cutting method may result in a smaller heat-affected area near the cutting boundary of your part. Thus, depending on the mechanical properties of your component, this method can provide less change in the mechanical property of the resultant component.

Thank you for your kind participation and for your interaction, but the sample is in the form of a sheet and its thickness is 3 mm, as in the attached picture, and not in a cylindrical shape.
What do you think if the sample is in the form of a 3 mm thick sheet?

Yes, the water jet cutting process is one of the best methods used, but this machine is not available, so I am looking for an alternative that does not affect the samples by a percentage that may lead to rejection of the results.

if it is possible, you can divide the manufacturing process into two parts, laser cutting to obtain rectangular sheet metal which has a higher dimension than your expected component, and CNC machining to obtain bone-shaped final geometry. Thus, you can both provide cost-effective manufacturing by eliminating bulk material usage in the CNC process and you can eliminate the heat-affected region in the CNC machining process by machining the appropriate boundary around the sheet metal.
