What is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is a precision manufacturing process that uses a focused, high-power laser beam to accurately cut through industrial materials. The heat generated by laser beams can melt, burn, or vaporize even the toughest materials, including metals and acrylics. Laser cutting can create clean-cut or rounded edges, tapered cuts, and intricate, complex designs. This process is used by industries, including the aerospace, automotive and electronics sectors, for rapid prototyping and manufacturing. Laser cutting solutions from Novanta Photonics (Laser Quantum) enable seamless customization via advanced laser control software, making the technique incredibly versatile and adaptable.
