What Is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is a highly precise and efficient way to cut and engrave metals, including aluminum, brass, copper, and steel. The process starts with the creation of a vectorized drawing. This drawing provides the laser with a blueprint on where to make each cut. Once the laser cutting machine has been programmed, the raw material is positioned on the cutting bed. After ensuring alignment, the technician programs the laser to make precise cuts along the surface, following the design laid out in the drawing. The laser beam is assisted with gas, metallic fibers, and a mirrored lens. This technology provides a clean and exact cut.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”222″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
