Accuracy is definitely the most important aspect of laser cutting services. Indeed, fabricators have fewer problems with inaccurate cutting edges thanks to the consistency of laser cutting machines. There are three ways lasers process metal workpieces efficiently: flame or oxygen, sublimation, or fusion cutting. Each one of these achieves different results but definitely guarantees 99.9% accuracy in every result.
Flame or Oxygen
Laser cutting services use high-intensity and heat light that concentrates heat at a single point that is adjustable in size. Conventional laser cutters use oxygen as its cutting gas that accelerates the workpiece's ignition temperature at the target area. This achieves a clean cut without any contamination especially on thick steel plates below 30 millimetres.
Sublimation
This process is common with laser cutting services that frequently process non-metallic materials. For example, sublimation works well with wood, plastic, and foam workpieces because it reaches the material's vaporisation point and avoids oxidation. It is a stark contrast of the flame or oxygen cutting process because oxidation creates an undesirable effect on non-metallic workpieces.
Fusion
A variation of sublimated laser cutting, it once again avoids oxidisation by shielding the non-metallic workpiece material with nitrogen. However, machines capable of fusion cutting can pierce through metallic and ceramic products too. In turn, it achieves a clean and uncontaminated cut void of any type of undesirable oxidation.
