Laser cutting is a process where a high-powered laser beam is focused on a material for cutting. This technology has become an essential process in modern manufacturing because it is much more precise than traditional cutting tools like saws and can cut through any material.
This precision is important for manufacturing products like iPads, which rely on precision in design. Laser cutting can cut through materials like plastic, wood, and metal with incredible speed, making it an attractive option for large-scale products like airplanes.
Has laser cutting made the world a better place? For metal fabricators and product manufacturers, it spelled modernization and increased productivity. Learn more about it below.
Improved Production Rates
Laser cutting techniques have improved production rates by increasing the efficiency of the cutting process.
This increase in efficiency is due to the laser's ability to cut many materials in one go, its ability to cut in any direction without any need for repositioning the material, and the speed at which it cuts.
The laser can cut many materials at once because it can cut through metal, wood, acrylic, and plastics. It is also able to cut in any direction without the need for a table.
Produced Fully-Accurate Custom Projects
Accuracy is one of the most notable capabilities of laser cutting in Toronto.
A computer precisely controls the laser beam and it is aimed at the material in a rapid, constant motion. The laser beam cuts a thin, precise line in the material at a speed that is so fast it melts the surface and avoids leaving behind any traces of artefacts and other unwanted side-effects.
Lowered Manufacturing Costs
Manufacturing costs can reduce when using lasers in production. This is because lasers do not need to be fed by an external source of power when in operation and can often cut and weld materials faster with better precision than other cutting tools.
Made Sustainable Changes
Laser cutting has made the metal fabrication industry more sustainable by enabling the use of less material. With laser cutting, only the material that needs to be cut is heated, effectively reducing waste and ensuring that resources are as properly used as possible.
Laser cutting also reduces the need for heavy equipment, which means less energy is used in production, less dust is created, and fewer hazardous materials are released into the environment.
