First invented in 1965, laser cutting technology works by directing the output of a focused laser beam onto a metal workpiece, vaporizing or melting the metal and creating a cut edge. Because of its non-contact characteristics, this technique prevents mechanical stress on the workpiece while maintaining extremely high cutting precision.
