    What is Laser Cutting?

    Laser cutting uses a focused beam of light (CO2 or fiber) to cut or engrave materials like wood, acrylic, or metal, controlled by CNC software. The process requires designing with vector files, selecting appropriate materials, setting correct power/speed settings for the material's thickness, ensuring proper ventilation, and monitoring for fires. Key operations include cutting (through material), engraving (surface relief), and scoring (shallow lines).
