  2. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

    Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics.

  3. Nesting (process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nesting_(process)

    Nesting (process) In manufacturing industry, nesting refers to the process of laying out cutting patterns to minimize the raw material waste. [1] Examples include manufacturing parts from flat raw material such as sheet metal, glass sheets, cloth rolls, cutting parts from steel bars, etc. Such process can also be applied to additive ...

  4. Laser beam machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_machining

    Laser beam machining ( LBM) is a form of machining that uses heat directed from a laser beam. This process uses thermal energy to remove material from metallic or nonmetallic surfaces. The high frequency of monochromatic light will fall on the surface, thus heating, melting and vaporizing the material due to the impinge of photons (see Coulomb ...

  5. Laser scanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning

    Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible. Scanned laser beams are used in some 3-D printers, in rapid prototyping, in machines for material processing, in laser engraving machines, in ophthalmological laser systems for the treatment of presbyopia, in confocal microscopy, in laser printers, in laser shows, in Laser TV, and in barcode scanners.

  9. Printed circuit board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board

    A PCB milling machine (referred to as a 'PCB Prototyper') operates in a similar way to a plotter, receiving commands from the host software that control the position of the milling head in the x, y, and (if relevant) z axis. Laser resist ablation Spray black paint onto copper clad laminate, place into CNC laser plotter. The laser raster-scans ...
