There are two types of laser cutting techniques: the first is pulse laser suitable for metallic materials, and the second is continuous laser suitable for non-metallic materials. The latter is an important application field of laser cutting technology. Several key technologies of laser cutting machines are integrated technologies of light, machinery, and electricity. The parameters of the laser beam, the performance and accuracy of the machine and CNC system directly affect the efficiency and quality of laser cutting in laser cutting machines.

Laser cutting processing replaces traditional mechanical knives with invisible beams of light. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to cutting pattern limitations, automatic layout saving materials, smooth cutting, and low processing costs. It will gradually improve or replace traditional metal cutting equipment. The mechanical part of the laser blade does not come into contact with the workpiece, so it will not cause scratches on the surface of the workpiece during operation; Laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and generally does not require subsequent processing; Cutting heat affected zone is small, plate deformation is small, and cutting seam is narrow (0.1mm~0.3mm); The incision has no mechanical stress and no shear burrs; High machining accuracy, good repeatability, and no damage to the material surface; CNC programming can process any flat drawing, and can cut large whole boards without the need for molds, which is economical and time-saving.
