Lasers used for cutting are rarely found outside of industrial use, as they are extremely dangerous and very large. Laser cutting is done by CO2 lasers or neodymium lasers. CO2 lasers function by energizing a gas mixture of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and helium. Neodymium lasers function in the same way as CO2 lasers, except instead of using gas as the medium, they use a crystal with small amounts of neodymium in it.

Can a laser cutter cut diamond?
yes
How much does it cost to purchase a laser cutter online?
A laser cutter is a generic term for a broad range of machines with a broad range of capabilities. A machine shop laser cutter costs in excess of 30000$. A much less capable machine will run about 4500$.
Is there a way to cut acrylic without a laser cutter?
yes
What are laser consumables?
Laser consumables refer to the parts that can be replaced in a laser cutting machines, such as filters, nozzles and optics. A laser cutter is a machine that cuts materials very accurately using a laser.
How safe is a laser cutter?
Many safety precautions need to be taken when working with or near a laser cutter. When in operation, a laser cutter can expel waste materials that can be extremely hot, causing burns or fires within close proximity. Some precautions that can be taken include having someone closely monitor the cutter at all times and have several fire suppression systems nearby. Safety glasses that block intense light should be worn whenever the cutter is in operation.
Why should you never leave the laser cutter unattended?
it will burn through the floor
When was the first laser cutter invented?
American physicist Theodore Maiman constructed the first working laser in 1960. But research started in 1958
How is a laser cutter is used in the manufacturing of resistant materials?
it cuts out precise shapes on plastics such as acrylic
Why is acrylic a good material to use in a laser cutter?
Because it's cheap and can resist wear
What is a laster cutter?
laser cutter? laser cutter can be thought of as three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. The laser is like a pencil - the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface. The controller (usually a computer) controls the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of the laser beam aimed at the surface. The surface is picked to match what the laser can act on.laser engraving machineThere are three main genres of : The most common is the X-Y table where, usually, the workpiece (surface) is stationary and the laser optics move around in X and Y directions, directing the laser beam to draw vectors. Sometimes the laser is stationary and the workpiece moves. Sometimes the workpiece moves in the Y axis and the laser in the X axis. A second genre is for cylindrical workpieces (or flat workpieces mounted around a cylinder) where the laser effectively traverses a fine helix and on/off laser pulsing produces the desired image on a raster basis. In the third method, both the laser and workpiece are stationary and galvo mirrors move the laser beam over the workpiece surface. Laser engraving machine using this technology can work in either raster or vector mode.
