Laser cutting is a technique employing a laser for cutting various materials, serving both industrial and artistic purposes, including etching. Laser cutting machines are employed for precise cutting and designing tasks across a diverse array of industries. These machines utilize a high-powered laser beam to achieve clean and precise cuts or carve specific designs onto materials such as steel, plastic, or wood. Primarily utilized in industrial manufacturing applications, laser cutting machines play a crucial role in achieving intricate and accurate results.
The primary technologies employed in the laser cutting machine market include solid-state, gas, and semiconductor technologies. Solid-state technology machines utilize a solid gain medium, typically ion-doped crystals or glasses, as opposed to a liquid. This type of laser cutting machine generates light at a significantly higher frequency. Laser cutting machines employ various processes, including fusion cutting, flame-cutting, sublimation cutting, laser processing configuration, laser cutting, and engraving configuration. These machines find extensive applications in industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, defense and aerospace, industrial, and various other end-user sectors.
