Cutting technologies compared
It's not always the material – sometimes it's the cutting process
Tool wear, long setup times, rework and rising process costs are often considered unavoidable in manufacturing. In reality, however, these challenges are frequently caused not by the material itself, but by the cutting process used.
Choosing the right technology has a significant impact on efficiency, cut quality and overall process economics. While conventional cutting methods each have their strengths depending on the application, contact-free CO₂ laser cutting offers precise contours, tool-free processing, consistently high cut quality and exceptional flexibility when contour changes are required for a wide range of non-metallic materials.
Taking a holistic view of your production process quickly reveals which cutting process delivers the greatest value for your application.
