Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists.
Put simply, it's marking/cutting wood with a very strong laser.
Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The laser optics and CNC (computer numerical control) are used to direct the laser beam to the material. A commercial laser for cutting materials uses a motion control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the material. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.
I have a highly capable 60W laser cutter made by Omtech. It has a 600x400mm working area allowing me to accomodate large projects. It can comfotably cut ip to 8mm thick material and can engrave any wood, acrylic, leather and others. I have the skills in Solidworks and Adobe Illustrator to design and manufacture a multitude of projects. Examples can be found under 'Case Studies' on the first page of this site.
