Laser cutting is a technology that uses a focused, high-power laser beam to cut materials like metal, wood, and plastic. It is a non-contact process controlled by a computer (CNC) which directs the laser to melt, burn, or vaporize material along a programmed path, leaving a precise cut with a clean edge. This process is highly precise and can be used for both industrial and artistic applications.
A laser cutter is a prototyping and manufacturing tool used primarily by engineers, designers, and artists to cut and etch into flat material. Laser cutters use a thin, focused laser beam to pierce and cut through materials to cut out patterns and geometries specified by designers.
