Laser cutting machines can cut a wide range of materials, including metals (such as steel, aluminum, and brass), plastics, wood, fabrics, leather, and more.

The thickness of the material that can be cut depends on the power of the laser cutting machine. Generally, most machines can cut up to 25mm thick materials, but more powerful machines can cut up to several mm thick materials.

Laser cutting machines are extremely precise, with accuracy up to 0.1mm. The accuracy of the machine depends on several factors, including the power of the laser, the quality of the optics, and the precision of the CNC system controlling the machine.

Yes, laser cutting machines are capable of cutting complex shapes and intricate designs with a high degree of accuracy. The machine can be programmed to cut any shape or design that can be created in a CAD software.

Laser cutting machines are generally safe to operate if proper safety procedures are followed. The laser is enclosed within a protective housing, and the operator should wear protective eyewear when the laser is in operation.

Like any machine, a laser cutting machine requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes cleaning the optics, replacing worn out parts, and ensuring that the laser is properly calibrated.

The time it takes to cut a piece of material depends on the thickness of the material, the power of the laser, and the complexity of the design being cut. Generally, laser cutting machines are able to cut materials quickly and efficiently, with cutting speeds ranging from a few seconds to several minutes per piece.

The cost of a laser cutting machine depends on several factors, including the power of the laser, the size of the machine, and the features included. Entry-level machines can cost around CHF10,000, while more advanced machines can cost upwards of CHF100,000 or more.
