As reported by The Fabricator in the article “Laser cutting thick plate? Check the surface”, the rapid evolution of high-powered fiber lasers—now reaching 30 kW and beyond—has transformed how manufacturers approach thick plate cutting. But as cutting speeds increase, material surface quality has become more important than ever.
Modern fiber lasers don’t just offer speed—they also reduce or eliminate the need for secondary operations like deburring or machining. This “done-in-one” capability is a game changer for heavy fabrication. However, even the most powerful machines can’t achieve optimal results without the right material preparation.
