CNC laser cutting machines use computer numerical control (CNC) to direct a high-powered laser beam that melts or vaporizes material with extreme accuracy.
How CNC Laser Cutters Work
Digital Design Input: The system reads G-code generated from CAD/CAM software files.
Beam Generation: A laser source (such as fiber or CO₂) creates the focused beam.
Motion & Control: A gantry system moves the cutting head along the X and Y axes to execute precise cuts or raster engravings.
Assist Gas: Nitrogen, oxygen, or compressed air blows through the nozzle to clear molten debris and protect the cut edge
