Laser cutting is a subtractive manufacturing process that utilizes a highly focused beam of coherent light to cut, etch, or ablate materials. The intensity and wavelength of the laser determine the material's state change, which can involve controlled vaporization, melting, or chemical reaction, enabling the precise removal of material along a defined path. This technology is employed across numerous industries, including metal fabrication, textiles, and woodworking, allowing for the creation of complex geometries and intricate patterns with high accuracy. The efficiency and adaptability of the system allow for automation and the processing of diverse materials ranging from soft polymers to hard metals.
