What is Laser Cutting and How Does It Work?
Laser cutting is an advanced technique that uses a high-powered laser beam to cut or engrave materials like metal, plastic, and composite. The laser, either CO2 or solid-state, generates intense light that heats and vaporizes the material at a specific point.
Controlled by a computer for precision, the process is aided by an assist gas like oxygen or nitrogen, which helps in material removal and ensures a clean cut.
This method is renowned for its accuracy, speed, and ability to produce complex shapes with minimal waste, making it highly efficient and versatile for various applications.
