Guide to 3D Laser Cutting




The technology of laser cutting can be described as a highly efficient and advanced method of cutting materials that has a range of industrial applications. Due to its efficiency, this technology is also becoming a vital part of the operation of small businesses, and for very good reasons that is. For once, thanks to the advancements of laser cutting methods there is no longer the need to relay on traditional cutting methods that are not only costly, but time-consuming as well.


To fully understand all the benefits that come with this advanced and innovative manufacturing method, you should first get more familiar with the main principles of operation of a modern 3d laser cutter. This devices consist of different well designed parts that are all connected together to allow the laser cutter to cut through a variety of materials with enhanced precision. As a comparison other types of cutters like craft and vinyl ones are unable to cut through sturdy and thick materials, thus limiting the kinds of materials you can use when designing and crafting your products. With a 3d laser cutter this is not an issue, considering the fact it can easily penetrate both soft and hard materials.

The material that is being shaped and modified is penetrated by using a powerful laser beam. The laser beam is generated by electrical discharges inside a closed container that have the purpose to stimulate the lasing material. With the stimulation of the lasing material, a partial mirror is enabled to reflect the generated beam. In addition to mirrors, fibre optics are other important elements of a laser cutter. They are designed to direct the laser light to special lens, which in turn focuses the light on the work surface.

Laser cutter can rely on a variety of methods to cut and shape different materials. While some methods melt the material, others either burn or vaporized it away. Which method will work the best will depend on the type of material that is being manufactured. For instance, vaporization laser cutting is commonly used for materials such as carbon, plastic and wood. The melt and blow method works best for cutting metals like aluminium and stainless steel. Thermal stress cracking is another popular method that is characterised by increased precision and flexibility, both of which make it ideal for cutting glass. Reactive cutting is another method that has various industrial applications. It's often used to penetrate thicker materials.
