Laser cutting is a process which uses a thermal laser beam to cut various materials, such as metals, plastics, wood and more. Laser cutting is more precise than flame cutting and waterjet cutting. The process involves focusing a laser beam onto the surface of the material, which melts, burns, or vaporizes the material to achieve a clean and precise cut.
RDL can offer the CNC laser cutting service which is controlled by the computer software. It has greater complex and intricate designs with high precision cutting capabilities. It offers faster cutting speeds and reduces material waste due to its narrow cutting kerf.
Laser can be used for various industries for cutting shapes. In addition to cutting, laser technology can be used for engraving, etching, and marking on various surfaces. This versatility makes laser cutting a common choice in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and signage.
Overall, laser cutting is a precise and efficient cutting method that has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, enabling fine designs and accurate cuts on a wide range of materials.

3. How does a laser cutting machine work?
The working principle of a laser cutting machine is as follows:
The machine uses a high-powered laser beam generated by either a carbon dioxide (CO2) or a fiber source. The laser beam is highly concentrated and focused into a small and intense spot, which is directed onto the material to be cut. When the material comes into contact with the high-temperature laser beam, it begins to melt, vaporize, or burn. The laser cutting machine is equipped with a computer control system that precisely controls the movement of the laser head on the material, following a predetermined cutting path. During the cutting process, auxiliary gases such as oxygen or nitrogen are used to blow away the melted or vaporized material from the cutting area. A cooling system is in place to prevent overheating of the laser components, and an exhaust system is used to remove smoke, gases, or debris generated during the cutting process. The entire cutting process is computer-controlled to ensure precise positioning and accurate control of the cutting, based on the provided design specifications.
4. Where can you get something laser cut ?
You can get something laser cut at various places, including:
Laser Cutting Service Providers, Fabrication Workshops, Makerspaces and Fab Labs and Online Laser Cutting Services, such as RDL. They can do not only laser cut names card, laser cut cardboard box , laser cut company logo , laser cut sheet metal plate, they can do complex products.
When choosing a laser cutting service provider, it’s important to consider below factors:
