Laser cutting is a technology that uses a focused laser beam to cut or engrave materials with precision. The process involves directing a high-powered laser through optics to a specific location on the material's surface, where it interacts with the material to melt, burn, or vaporize it. Laser cutting is widely used in various industries for its accuracy and ability to cut intricate shapes.
The process begins with a digital design or Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model, which is translated into a set of instructions for the laser cutting machine through Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. The laser beam, generated by a resonator and directed through a series of mirrors and lenses, then cuts through the material with remarkable precision. The result is a clean, burr-free cut that meets the exact specifications of the design.
Laser cutting offers several advantages, including high precision, minimal material wastage, and the ability to cut complex shapes. It is a valuable technology for a wide range of applications in different industries.
