2D (2D) laser cutting tools cut materials using a laser light.
What Are They Used For?
- Cutting Operations: 2D laser cutting tools are typically used for cutting complex shapes or patterns out of flat sheets or materials. They are commonly preferred in industrial production for cutting materials such as metal, wood, plastic, fabric, and more.
- Fast and Precise Cutting: Laser cutting provides fast, precise, and repeatable cutting operations. This makes it widely used in mass production and prototype development.
- Marking and Hole Drilling: 2D laser cutting tools can also be used for marking materials or drilling holes. For example, they are used for marking logos on products or creating holes in panels for assembly purposes.
How Do They Work?
- Laser cutting devices use a high-energy laser beam to cut materials. This laser light is directed to a focal point and concentrated onto the material.
- The intensity and focus position of the laser light can be adjusted depending on the type and thickness of the material being cut.
- The laser light heats or vaporizes a specific region of the material during the cutting process. The heat applied during cutting usually causes the material to melt or vaporize, achieving the desired shape.
- Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems precisely control the cutting pattern and parameters, allowing for the creation of complex and repeatable cuts.
2D laser cutting tools are essential for many industrial applications, speeding up material processing while delivering high-quality cuts.
