2. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   CAD (top) and stainless steel laser-cut part (bottom) 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 ...

3. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   A cutting torch being used to cut a steel pipe. Oxy-acetylene Welding (OAW) station. Oxy-fuel welding torch (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to ...

4. Carbon-dioxide laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-dioxide_laser

   The active laser medium (laser gain/amplification medium) is a gas discharge which is air- or water-cooled, depending on the power being applied. The filling gas within a sealed discharge tube consists of around 10–20% carbon dioxide (CO 2), around 10–20% nitrogen (N 2), a few percent hydrogen (H 2) and/or xenon (Xe), with the remainder ...

5. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

   Plasma cutting. Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well. Plasma cutting is often used in fabrication shops ...

6. Gas laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laser

   Gas laser. A gas laser is a laser in which an electric current is discharged through a gas to produce coherent light. The gas laser was the first continuous-light laser and the first laser to operate on the principle of converting electrical energy to a laser light output. The first gas laser, the Helium–neon laser (HeNe), was co-invented by ...

7. Digital modeling and fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_modeling_and...

   The laser cutter is often bundled with a driver software which interprets vector drawings produced by any number of CAD software platforms. [ 5 ] The laser cutter is able to modulate the speed of the laser head, as well as the intensity and resolution of the laser beam, and as such is able in both to cut and to score material, as well as ...
