Laser cutting is mainly a thermal process in which a focused laser beam is used to melt material in a localized area. A co-axial gas jet is used to eject the molten material and create a kerf. A continuous cut is produced by moving the laser beam or work piece under CNC control.

What is laser cutting? Laser cutting is a slitting process with which it is possible to cut metallic and non-metallic raw materials of different material thicknesses. This is based around a laser beam which is guided, formed, and bundled when it hits the workpiece, the material heats up to the extent that it melts or vaporises. In this process, the whole laser power is concentrated on one point, with a diameter that is often less than half a millimeter.
