What is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting, as the name may suggest, is the process of cutting a material using a laser beam. This can be done to either trim down a material or to help cut it into complex shapes that more conventional drills would struggle with.

This laser process also has many similarities to the laser drilling and laser engraving processes. The former involves the creation of thru-holes in a material or dents, like an engraving used in the later process. These dents and holes are essentially cuts, and you’ll often see a laser cutting machine being used for laser drilling and laser engraving too.

A vast range of materials and thickness sizes can be cut using laser cutting, making it a handy and adaptable process.
