At the same time, a<strong> flow of gas<\/strong> coming from the base of the lens is used which, through a fluodynamic thrust, generates the <strong>actual cutting of the surface<\/strong>, according to the engraving that is to be obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laser cutting<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>inert gas<\/strong>;<\/li><li><strong>CO2<\/strong> laser cutting;<\/li><li><strong>fiber<\/strong>;<\/li><li><strong>diode<\/strong>;<\/li><li><strong>assisted oxygen<\/strong>;<\/li><li><strong>2D<\/strong> laser cutting;<\/li><li><strong>3D<\/strong> laser cutting.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are lasers used for cutting materials?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>advantages <\/strong>of a fibre-optic <strong>laser cutting service<\/strong> can be summarized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>extreme precision<\/strong> in cutting, which guarantees a quality result;<\/li><li><strong>low implantation costs<\/strong>, which makes it an ideal technique for the development of prototypes;<\/li><li>possibility of <strong>treating metals on which it\u2019s not possible to perform <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/photochemical-milling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>photoengraving<\/strong><\/a>;<\/li><li>possibility to perform <strong>cuts on materials with high thickness<\/strong>, up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-steel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 mm for steel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-brass\/\">2 mm for brass<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to do laser engraving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Combination cutting<\/strong> is used in cases where we need to make a <strong>half engraving<\/strong> with our laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these situations we use combination cutting, which <strong>encompasses the advantages of laser cutting and photochemical milling<\/strong>: first, we carry out the half engraving with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/photochemical-milling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chemical photoengraving<\/a> and then we complete the processing of the pieces with the <strong>laser<\/strong>, which guarantees <strong>absolute precision (up to 0.05 mm)<\/strong> thanks to the sophisticated optical centering system which guarantees making the two processes perfectly thrust together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What materials can a laser cut?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our laser we can make parts out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-steel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">steel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-aluminium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aluminum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-bronze\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bronze<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-brass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brass<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-copper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">copper<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/laser-cutting-service\/laser-cutting-titanium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">titanium<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make laser cut jewelry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through laser cutting we produce decorative components made of various metals for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chimimetal.com\/en\/fashion-accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jewelry industry<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through our techniques we first make the <strong>half engravings<\/strong> and then we <strong>laser cut the piece<\/strong>.
