Laser Cutting

Laser-cutting uses a beam of laser light  to generate heat for cutting metals and  other materials lasers advantages over  other thermal cutting processes include  on narrower curve narrower heat affected  zone and finer edge.

Cuts achievable with  a laser are smoother than with other  thermal processes and may require no  secondary edge finishing sheetmetal may  be contour cut rapidly and small holes  can be drilled in under a second laser  cutting also has limitations it is  expensive and generally cost effective .

Only for materials up to / inch or  millimeters thick though thicker  materials may be cut the term laser is  an acronym for light amplification by  the stimulated emission of radiation a  laser produces an intense beam of  coherent light as opposed to ordinary  random light...
