  How are lasers used in the mechanical process?

  Mechanical Processing on both Metals and Non metals. Processes require transfer of energy from the laser beam to the work piece. •Happens only if the material has high absorption at the wavelength corresponding to the laser beam. •Once the surface of the materials absorbs energy, the material starts to melt and then vapourize.

  What are the advantages of laser cutting technology?

  Compared with traditional cutting technology, the advantages of laser cutting technology (figure 2) are obvious: When machining, the incision is smooth because it replaces the traditional tool or flame with a light beam. There is no need for further processing. The cutting heat affected area is small.
