3D laser cutting is a manufacturing method that allows complex shapes to be cut in three dimensions with high precision and repeatability. Unlike traditional 2D laser cutting, which mainly cuts contours in flat sheets, 3D laser cutting is used to process shaped parts, bent components, tubes, profiles and other geometries where the cut needs to follow a surface or an angle.
Nd:YAG: A solid-state laser where the laser-active medium is a YAG crystal doped with neodymium. It provides a wavelength of around 1064 nm, high precision, and the option of both pulsed and continuous operation. Nd:YAG is often used for finer details, thinner materials, and the combination of cutting/welding.
Disc laser: A further developed solid-state laser where the laser-active material is a thin disc mounted against a cooling plate. This provides very stable beam quality, high efficiency, and is well suited for automated high-volume production in metal, with narrow cuts and good repeatability.
Eccentric pressing is a method of sheet metal pressing that uses an eccentric press to shape or cut metal using high, repeatable strokes.
