A laser cutting machine is a tool that uses a focused beam of light, or laser, to cut through various materials like metal, wood, and plastic. The laser is highly precise, allowing for intricate designs and clean edges. This technology is widely used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace for creating parts and components. The machine operates by directing the laser beam onto the material, which melts or vaporizes it, resulting in a cut. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems often guide the laser, enabling automated and repeatable processes. This efficiency makes laser cutting a popular choice for both small-scale projects and large production runs.
