Laser Cutting

Laser cutting has become a widely used method in the manufacturing industry for processing steel. 

Fibre laser cutting works through diodes and allows better absorption of the beam by the material, especially in the case of poorly conductive materials such as copper and brass. 

When it comes to buying a laser cutting machine it is important to understand the technical characteristics and processing capabilities. In fact, the price often varies depending on power, speed and other factors, whether it is machines for private use or for professional lasers for industrial production.

Although the laser can be used to engrave or cut various materials, some of these are not suitable for this type of technique. 

In this article we take into account the costs of laser cutting both from the point of view of those who want to invest in a laser cutting machine and from the point of view of those who want to orient themselves on an online service.

Understanding the difference between laser engraving and cutting techniques can be complex. In fact, although both technologies use lasers to work the material, the execution takes place in a very different way.

The 3D laser is used to cut 2D and 3D pieces such as tubes or profiles for the industrial production of components or valuable handmade products.

The heart of the HLS machine is the computerized numerical control (CNC) system that coordinates the movements of the laser beam precisely and quickly. CNC software controls laser power, movement speed and focus, ensuring a smooth and clean cut. In addition, the integrated vision systems allow you to detect the positions of the materials to be cut and adapt the cutting settings in real time.

Laser cutting takes place through a beam of light that, focused on a very narrow area, depending on the power and type of material, cuts a part of the piece on the basis of a raster or vector drawing sent to the machine.

Plexiglass is often referred to as XT or GS, abbreviations that indicate the technique with which it was produced: by extrusion in the case of the XT wording and by casting in the case of the GS abbreviation.

Laser technology is widely used to cut steel, aluminium and sheet metal. In general, metalworking is required especially in the production sectors that deal with industrial components, but it is not limited to it. 

To date, laser cutting is one of the most widely used techniques because it allows you to work on a wide range of materials, in a short time and at limited costs. Moreover, thanks to the precision of the laser, it is possible to customise and replicate the pieces quickly, even in large quantities and series.
