Laser cutting is a highly advanced technology that utilises a laser beam to cut a range of different materials.
When laser cutting is applied, a high-power laser is directed, via computer control, towards the material that is to be cut.
Depending on the material, this process can result in melting, burning, vaporising, or blowing it away using gas, resulting in an edge with an unparalleled surface finish.
There are numerous advantages of laser cutting, including versatility, speed, and minimal material waste, making it ideal for intricate designs and rapid production processes.
It produces better edge quality and allows for the cutting of complex shapes without tooling.
Laser cutting also reduces contamination and enables the cutting of small diameter holes with intricate details.
