CNC laser cutters use a laser beam to cut or engrave materials. They use the same gantry design as CNC routers, but with a laser beam instead of the router bit.
The laser beam is controlled by computer numerical control (CNC), which means that the path of the cut is programmed by a computer. The intensity and speed of the laser beam can be adjusted to create different cuts, or just to etch the surface of the material.
CNC laser cutters are excellent for engraving a wide range of materials with fine patterns or images.
Powerful industrial laser cutters are also excellent for cutting sheet metals and other sheet materials. They have the smallest kerf of cut (the width of material removed with the cutting tool) besides wire EDMs. Laser cutters have lower operating costs than plasma cutters, and CNC waterjet cutters. However, they are not as fast as wire EDMs and cannot cut conductive materials.
Overall, CNC laser cutters are versatile machines that can be used for a variety of tasks. They are a good choice for businesses that need to cut or engrave materials
