laser cutter

Light-based cutting tool

A laser cutter is a machine that uses a focused laser beam to cut, engrave, or etch materials with high precision.

Common in manufacturing, prototyping, and crafts, laser cutters work on wood, acrylic, metal, fabric, and other materials.

The beam vaporizes or melts material along a programmed path, producing clean edges without physical contact: She used the laser cutter to make intricate jewelry designs.
