The main limitation of Laser Cutting is material thickness. Laser Cutting is intrinsically a planar process. Materials must be relatively flat and not too thick.

The ultimate thickness limit depends on material, laser power, and speed and accuracy needed. There is no single number that defines an upper limit on thickness. Cutting of thicknesses greater than 0.25-0.5 inch (6-12 mm) will require further analysis and/or testing.
