7 Top Applications of Lasers in Manufacturing - ASME
2020年5月28日 · 5. Laser Cutting. Similar to laser drilling, laser cutting relies on a focused laser beam to ablate material, straight cut, or cut patterns to very precise depths in the material or component. Ultrafast lasers are typically used for various types of metals and polymers because they cut clean edges and do not create heat-affected zones.
