Laser cutting uses a high-powered CO2 laser directed through optics to a cutting head where assist gases help the laser cut through materials like mild steel, timbers, acrylics, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass. Laser cutting is preferred over other cutting methods because it has no tooling costs, designs can be easily changed at low cost, produces cuts with no burrs or sharp edges, and is fast, quiet, efficient, and leaves minimal waste between cut items.

Co2 Laser Cutting machine can cut through most materials because of high powered electricity that is directed through the machine through a series of optics to a cutting head where different assist gases help the process of cutting through materials e.g:
Oxygen is used to cut through Mild Steel.
Air is used to cut through Timbers and Acrylics. High Pressure Nitrogen is used for cutting through Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Gal and Zinc coated Mild Steel and Brass.
Laser Cutting is preferred because:
No tooling costs. Designs can easily be change at no or minimum costs. No burrs or sharp edges. Square edge of the cut. Fast, quite and efficient and can cut through most materials. The thin cut of a Laser beam, means that there is minimal waste between items and therefore getting the most use of material and keeping costs down. The amount of energy to cut through materials is concentrated, therefore there is minimal heat when Laser Cutting.
