Laser Cutting Misconceptions You Need to Get Over
Laser cutting involves introducing a high-powered
beam on a material that needs to be cut through.
Thereafter, it vaporizes, melts or burns the
surface of the material it touches. As laser
cutting is executed by using state of the art
equipment, there are hardly any flaws noticed
after cutting takes place. It gives high-quality
finishing to the product that is cut. Although,
you need to ensure that the laser machine spare
parts you use for your machines are of high
quality and are replaced regularly to ensure the
quality of cutting is top notch.

  • In Spite of knowing the benefits of laser
    cutting, people do not go for it as they have
    some misconceptions about it. Let us know what
    myths exist and provide facts to prove them
    wrong.
  • Laser cutting is a new technology
  • Laser cutting isnt something that has
    been introduced lately. This technology
    was introduced in the year 1960 and was
    highly embraced by manufacturers by 1980.
    Over the years, the technology has progressed by
    leaps and bounds and is used for the production
    of equipment belonging to every industry.
  • Laser cutting is complicated
  • This isnt true. It is much easier as
    compared to other mechanical cutting
    technologies. Moreover, there is no need to make
    special preparations for cutting like
    sharpening the tools, deciding the
    placements etc. A computerized CAD file is
    created and the lasers are programmed to
    cut according to that. It is possible to change
    the depth of the cut by changing the power of the
    laser. Now this is something that you cant
    accomplish with other cutters.
  • It will burn the materials
  • Burning is probably not the right term to
    be used for laser cutting. The process
    actually involves charring the surface
    that is being cut along. However, the best
    part about charring is that the edges are cut in
    a way that its finishing remains intact. Lasers
    are the best equipment when it comes to cutting
    through soft materials like plastic. And
    they dont burn plastics or metals.

  • Lasers cant cut through thick materials
  • A lot of people think about the James
    Bond movie when it comes to industrial
    laser cutting and form the opinion that it
    cannot work for their projects. It is a sheer
    misconception. Laser cutting can be applied to an
    array of materials and thicknesses. However,
    it has some limitations with the intensity
    of thickness it can cut through. Take a
    look at some of the materials and thicknesses
    it can cut through
  • Wood 1/2 3/4 inch
  • Ceramic Up to 1/8 inch
  • Stainless steel Up to a 1/8 inch
  • Plastics 3/16 1/4 inch
  • With so many options available for cutting,
    you might get confused as to what cutting
    technique to use. But you must know that
    laser cutting tops the list with its
    cutting quality, feasibility and
    accessibility. Get rid of misconceptions
    mentioned above and try choosing laser cutting
    for one of your small projects. Once you get
    acquainted with the quality of results you get,
    you will always choose this method above all.
