Laser cutting technology is often used in the manufacturing industry. It is a non-contact process that cuts through materials using a high-energy light beam. The laser beam melts the material and then, due to its energy, vaporizes it and creates an evaporated layer. The vaporized layer then cools and solidifies, while the material stays behind as a line. The speed of the laser beam allows for a high degree of accuracy and speed in fabrication.
Here are three great applications laser cutting has in big industries.
Car Manufacturing
Laser cutting speeds up vehicle manufacturing by producing complex shapes for vehicles much easier. A laser can cut a thin, perfect layer of the material needed for a vehicle in seconds rather than hours. This allows for more creativity in the design of parts, which in turns helps create a better vehicle. In short, the technology speeds up the processing of vehicles and vehicle parts and increases component flexibility.
Aero Manufacturing
Laser cutting speeds up airplane parts manufacturing by providing a clean cut that is more precise than other traditional cutting methods. Laser cutting achieves exceptional precision in manufacturing airplane engines because it is a very precise process that follows a specific order. It begins with the parts being cut out of a metal block with a laser beam. The parts are then placed in a fixture called a jig, which holds the parts in place during the manufacturing process.
Jewelry Processing
Laser cut materials are used in the manufacturing of jewelry-related products. Jewelers use laser cut materials to create intricate designs and metal parts. Laser cutting is also used to create a large number of different shapes and textures of metal, as well as to undercut pieces with a tiny beveled edge.
