Laser Cutting
Laser Cutting is a cutting process that uses a high powered laser beam to cut materials like steel and acrylic. Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting include:
- Easier workholding and reduced contamination of workpiece
- Better precision
- Reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut
In addition to laser cutting, Million offers another popular cutting technique: waterjet cutting. The differences between laser cutting and waterjet cutting are shown below.
