What is CNC Laser Cutting?

CNC laser cutting is a method in which a computer-controlled laser is used to cut or shape a specific material. In this technique, an intense laser beam is focused directly onto the material and provides energy. This energy causes the material to melt or vaporize. This energy applied to the material allows the cutting or shaping to occur. The CNC laser cutting process allows for high cutting speeds, surface integrity, and precision. It is commonly used for cutting metals, plastics, and a variety of other materials. The basic principle of laser cutting is that the energy required to cut or vaporize the material is directly provided by the laser beam.
