The Laser Cutter: Precision at the Speed of Light
What it does: Uses focused laser beams to cut/engrave materials like metal, wood, and acrylic with micron-level accuracy.
Key Features:
Contactless process prevents material warping
CO2 (for organics) vs. fiber lasers (for metals)
Ideal for signage, jewelry, and aerospace components
Why it matters: Delivers intricate designs faster than traditional methods, revolutionizing prototyping and custom manufacturing.
Example Application: A medical device company uses laser cutting to produce stainless steel surgical tools with flawless edges.
