A laser cutter is a machine that uses a focused beam of light, or laser, to cut or engrave materials. It works by directing the laser onto the surface of the material, which melts, burns, or vaporizes it, creating precise shapes and designs. Laser cutters can work with various materials, including wood, plastic, metal, and fabric. These machines are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, architecture, and art. They offer high accuracy and speed, making them ideal for creating intricate patterns and prototypes. Laser cutters are also popular in DIY projects and small businesses for custom designs and products.
