What’s the difference between laser cutting and plasma cutting?
Laser cutting is a precise manufacturing process that uses a high-powered laser beam to cut materials into custom shapes and designs. The laser beam is focused through a lens onto the material’s surface, where it melts, burns, or vaporizes the material along a programmed path. This process allows for intricate cuts, tight tolerances, and excellent edge quality, making it suitable for various materials like metals, plastics, wood, and more.
