What Does Laser Cutting
Mean and How Does it Works?
Laser cutting is primarily a thermal process that uses a concentrated laser beam to melt material in a localized area. The molten material is ejected with a co-axial gas jet and a kerf is formed. A continuous cut is produced by moving, under CNC control, the laser beam or workpiece. Laser cutting comes in three major varieties: fusion cutting, flame cutting, and remote cutting.
| Benefits |
| High quality cut - no finishing |
| Ultra flexible - simple or complex parts |
| Non contact - no surface blemishing |
| Quick set up - small batches |
| Low heat input - small HAZ, low distortion |
| Lends itself to nearly all materials |
