Laser cutting offers several advantages over traditional cutting methods like CNC machining, especially in terms of precision, speed, and material waste. While CNC machining is still widely used for thicker or 3D parts, laser cutting excels in high-precision work, achieving tolerances as tight as ± 0.0005”. Unlike mechanical cutting methods, lasers are non-contact, which means there’s less risk of material distortion and wear on cutting tools. Laser cutting is also faster and more efficient for thin and intricate designs, particularly when working with metals or sensitive materials.
