How Laser Cutting Works
Laser cutting is a non-contact process, meaning there is no physical interaction between the laser and the material. Instead, a concentrated beam of light is used to cut through the material, allowing for precision without the risk of damage or deformation. The cutting parameters can be easily adjusted to meet the specific requirements of each project, ensuring optimal results.
At Foamtec Specialty Converting, our laser cutting capabilities offer efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility, providing tailored solutions for various industries and applications.
