  • Laser Cutting vs Plasma Cutting—Cutting Options Compared

    Sheet goods—including metals, plastics or even wood, cloth and paper products—are ubiquitous materials in manufacturing, and are used to produce a wide variety of parts. In mass production, these parts form the inputs for more complex processes that shape blanks into three-dimensional forms. In the automotive industry, sheet and plate steel are stamped into blanks…

  • What Is Laser Cutting and How Does It Work?

    Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut or drill material. The process can be used to cut various materials, including metal, wood, plastics, and textiles. Laser cutting is helpful in manufacturing applications where a high degree of accuracy is required. For example, it can create intricate patterns or shapes in metal…

  • Ultrahigh-power laser cutting continues growth path

    Two methods are currently used to cut sheet metal: plasma cutting and laser cutting. Plasma cuttingdates back to the 1950s when it was developed as an alternative to flame cutting. It works by firing a superheated, electrically ionized gas (i.e., plasma) out of a nozzle at high speed toward the workpiece. An electrical arc is…

  • Which Cut is Best, Water or Laser?

    Which Cut is Best, Water or Laser?

    Laser cutting and waterjet cutting: two great technologies that go great together? Or best when they play solo? As ever, the answer is it depends—on what work a shop has coming in the door, what materials are being processed most often, operator skill levels and, ultimately, the available equipment budget. The short answer, according to…

  • The rapid evolution of modern laser cutting technology

    The rapid evolution of modern laser cutting technology

    There is more than one type of laser cutting. It can use different medias to generate lasers of different wavelengths, so the scope, characteristics and functions of the applications are different. In the following, the article will take you to understand the uses of laser cutting in different fields, so that you can better understand…

  • How Does a Laser Cutting Machine Works?

    Laser cutting in recent applicationLaser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to slice materials. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is also starting to be used by schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The laser optics and…

  • Mechanical Cutting vs. Laser Cutting vs. Milling

    Both mechanical and laser cutting are common fabricating processes used in today’s manufacturing industries. Each method employs its own distinct equipment, and has its own advantages and disadvantages. Preference among the two usually depends on a range of factors, such as application requirements, cost-effectiveness, and production capabilities. Mechanical cutting, which includes tooling and machining, is…

  • Laser Cutting Vs. Waterjet Cutting

    Two major cutting process manufacturers commonly use when cutting material include laser cutting and water jet cutting. Depending on the type of material used and the desired end result, one of these two methods may be appropriate for a given application. First, it is helpful to examine the fundamental differences between the processes and the…

  • Understanding The Role of Laser Cutting Technology In Modern Industry

    In the past, cutting through materials was a time-consuming and somewhat imprecise process. However, the advent of laser cutting technology has revolutionized the way that industry can cut through materials. These days, laser cutting services are able to cut through a variety of materials with speed and precision, making them an essential tool for modern…

  • What is Laser Cutting and Uses?

    What is Laser Cutting?The word LASER is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, which is the abbreviation of “beam generated by stimulated radiation”. Laser is an artificial light source with characteristics different from natural light, so practical technology has been widely developed and applied in various fields. Simply put, Laser Cutting is a technology…
