 CNC Laser |
 |
|
A CNC laser cutter uses a high intensity laser to cut metal. The laser cuts by heating or vaporizing the metal. This means there is localized heating of the metal and all the assosciated effects such as hardening and warping are a consideration. Lasers are typically limited to plates of 1/4" or less.
