The high-energy and pulsed radiation of high-power lasers is used in the manufacturing process. Depending on the material in question, the surface is melted, burned or vaporized by the energy of the laser during laser cutting. The dissolved material is then blown out of the kerf by a strong jet of a low-reaction gas. The particular <a href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/laserteile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advantage of the manufacturing process<\/a> is that the cut edge of the blanks is precise and clean during laser cutting, eliminating the need for post-treatment for subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/oberflaechenveredelung\/\">painting or coating<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the state of aggregation &#8211; melting, burning or evaporating &#8211; a general distinction can be made between laser fusion cutting, laser flame cutting and laser sublimation cutting. The latter is suitable for cutting inorganic as well as organic materials. Modern laser cutting systems enable flawless laser cuts and laser parts for prototypes, small and large series.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/en\/laser-cutting-and-laser-cutting-manufacturing-process-and-other-cutting-methods\/#Advantages_and_disadvantages_of_laser_cutting_at_a_glance\" >Advantages and disadvantages of laser cutting at a glance:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/en\/laser-cutting-and-laser-cutting-manufacturing-process-and-other-cutting-methods\/#Other_metal_cutting_processes\" >Other metal cutting processes<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/en\/laser-cutting-and-laser-cutting-manufacturing-process-and-other-cutting-methods\/#Plasma_cutting\" >Plasma cutting<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/en\/laser-cutting-and-laser-cutting-manufacturing-process-and-other-cutting-methods\/#Water_jet_cutting\" >Water jet cutting<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/en\/laser-cutting-and-laser-cutting-manufacturing-process-and-other-cutting-methods\/#Laser_cutting_at_Gutekunst\" >Laser cutting at Gutekunst<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/en\/laser-cutting-and-laser-cutting-manufacturing-process-and-other-cutting-methods\/#Order_laser_cuts_and_laser_parts_by_express_delivery\" >Order laser cuts and laser parts by express delivery<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_and_disadvantages_of_laser_cutting_at_a_glance\"><\/span>Advantages and disadvantages of laser cutting at a glance:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><u>Advantages:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Particularly economical manufacturing process, even for very small quantities<\/li>\n<li>High cutting quality,<a href=\"https:\/\/info.formfedern.com\/laserteile-entgraten\/\"> Edges do not have to be reworked or hardly need to be reworked<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Suitable for almost all materials<\/li>\n<li>Cutting and engraving possible in one work step<\/li>\n<li>Ideally suited for minimal processing thicknesses and filigree laser parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Disadvantage: <\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High requirements and investment costs in terms of occupational safety<\/li>\n<li>The maximum cutting depth is less with laser cutting than with other cutting processes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_metal_cutting_processes\"><\/span>Other metal cutting processes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to laser cutting, other cutting processes are also used to separate metallic materials.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plasma_cutting\"><\/span>Plasma cutting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is used to liquefy the surface of a workpiece <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plasmaschneider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plasma cutting<\/a> the high energy of plasmas.
