What is the Laser Cutting Process?
What is the Laser Cutting Process Process Definition Laser cutting is a non-contact machining process that uses a high-power, concentrated laser beam to melt, burn, or vaporize material away. The laser optics focus the beam into an intense spot sized 0.01-0.25mm. When this focused beam irradiates the workpiece, the laser energy gets absorbed by the material, heating it up instantly to melting or burning temperatures, causing precise localized material removal by thermal mechanisms. This enables intricate cut shapes to be achieved with high speed, precision, automation, and low force across various materials. Laser cutting finds widespread use for high-production metal…
