Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. This type of cutting is typically used for industrial manufacturing and works by directing the output of a high-power laser through optics. CNC Routers can be used in tandem with laser cutters.
