Laser cutting technology is highly regarded as one of the top precision cutting technology methods available on the market today. Compared to either high density plasma cutting or regular plasma cutting, laser cutting is vastly more expensive, slower, but the most accurate smooth finish of all the processes.
The process can be used in a variety of different industries from cutting wood, pencils, furniture to foams, polyethylene, plastics acrylics, kapton tape and many many more.
The laser beam works with a the basis of an optical amplification of stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation focused on a specific point to heat up, shape and cut the object in question. When the process actually takes place there are sometimes additional gasses that are combine to the process to cool down the cutting area. Using the concentrated focus of the lens and accurately arranged mirrors make this process more accurate.
If the concentration of the light is highly focuses it can burn, melt of even disintegrate the object it comes into contact with.
