Ever since its invention, the value of lasers has evolved by leaps and bounds. Lasers can not only cut and micromachine quickly, but they can do so at a low cost with accuracy and speed efficiency. Laser micromachining has replaced numerous other types of cutting methods that were available before their invention, and with the increase in the number of laser cutting projects, their demand has been increasing every year.
Laser micromachining methods are flexible and from fragile materials such as cloth, plastic, and paper to other more robust materials such like wood, metal, and stainless steel, practically anything can be cut or micromachined using a laser. Perhaps best of all, most of the laser cutting projects using high-quality, precision laser cutting systems take no time & involve minimal human intervention.
The various benefits offered by laser micromachining methods have led to their use in different laser cutting projects. Several such advantages include a reduction in total work time, quality work with precision, safe & silent performance, etc. As micromachining methods use a non-contact manner of cutting things, there is no mechanical pressure on the piece being cut – thus reducing the instrument's wear and tear risks.
The hardness of the material being cut/micromachined does not affect in any way the laser instrument. The cutting has high degrees of automation & flexibility and offers ease of integration with other automated systems. As laser micromachining methods have a high trimming capability, they can produce products that do not require further processing or finishing like polishing, deburring, finishing, etc. Various advantages, such as these, have ensured the popularity of various types of laser cutting projects and the varied laser cutting applications in several industries.
