Laser cutting and etching are techniques used to precisely cut or mark materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, or glass. In laser cutting, a high-powered laser beam is directed at the material, cutting it along a predetermined path to create a precise, intricate shape. In laser etching, the laser beam is used to etch designs or text onto the surface of the material, creating a permanent mark. Both laser cutting and etching are widely used in manufacturing and product design, as they offer high precision, accuracy, and versatility in creating intricate shapes and designs.
