Basic principles of cutting using laser markers

Laser cutting involves cutting and evaporating the surface of a material using a laser. 

Generally, non-laser-based cutting involves using a die or blade. Because these are contact-type methods, there is always a risk of distortion occurring during processing. Laser cutting, on the other hand, is non-contact, so the risk of distortion or the like is minimal. This makes laser cutting suitable for processing such targets as thin plates and films.
