Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high power laser, by computer, at the material to be cut. The material then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish.
The product remains unaltered due to the contactfree application. Lasercutting can start at any random point of the product surface. Complex contours can be cut with high speed. The cut has a minimum width and is smooth and straight.
As alternative for stamping, milling and sawing.
