Laser Cutting is a method for transforming a 2D file into a physical object. This technology can be performed on different materials such as plastic, wood, cardboard, but also some metals* such as titanium, aluminum or stainless steel. Laser Cutting involvesthat focuses on a small area of material. The laser beam is directed to the material where it need to be cut. It can cut it with a thickness up to 10mm. There are different types of lasers which can be pulsed or continuous. At Sculpteo we use cutters that can cut all types of materials with a higher speed than the pulsed laser cutters can.
Laser Cutting is possible by creating a. You can create 2D files through vector graphics software. This file to the laser cutter that will cut the material chosen. It is not necessary to have strong skills in design to use Laser Cutting.
