Laser cutting has become the best of modern separation method for high precision and efficiency. Compared with conventional separation methods, to obtain highly accurate laser cutting cutting even to the smallest detail, no matter how complicated the design. For example, if several complex designs such as lace, gentle curve or a very acute angle can cause problems, similar to most conventional tools with laser cut to produce the results that the highest standards.
But the size of the laser cutting as possible, without proper training, would not so great results.

Then select the lie width cutting. If you have to respect a certain width, choose to 0.004 inches. Depending on the thickness and hardness of the material to be cut, cutting speed, depth of cut and the number of pulses per inch (PPI). This setting will also vary depending on the brand or model of a laser cutter you use, so check the manufacturer manual for detailed instructions.
