How Laser Cutting Works

Laser Cutting works by focusing the power of a high-power laser onto the surface of the material. The size of the focused laser spot is very small, typically about 0.1 mm (0.004"). Because the power density in this small area is extremely high, almost all soft materials will be melted or vaporized. Depending on the applied power level, cutting, perforation, or even welding of these materials are possible.

Types of Lasers

Most soft material applications use the Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) laser. CO₂ laser output is efficiently absorbed by most substances, resulting in a flexible cutting system compatible with the vast majority of soft materials.
