Laser Cutting Metal Parts

The Basics Of Laser Cutters

Laser cutters are CNC machines that use a thin, high-powered laser beam to cut
materials. The process is most often used in industrial manufacturing. Laser
cutters are commonly used for quality welding and to cut industrial sheet
metal, but laser cutters can also be used for other materials from composites
to rubber, glass, wood, and aluminum.


How Laser Cutters Work？

Laser focusing optics are used to direct electrical energy into a high-density
light beam, and CNC is used to manage either the workpiece or the laser beam.
The material processed by the laser cutter is then melted, burned, vaporized,
or blown away by a jet of oxygen or nitrogen.
