Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser cut quality of acrylic with different power
Laser is widely applied in today’s industry. Laser is widely used in industry for cutting and boring metals and other materials, in medicine for surgery, and in communications, scientific research, and holography. Laser cutting machine is often used in marking or engraving wood, glass, acrylic, rubb...
