What Is Fiber Laser Cutting, Fiber Laser Cutting Machine?

Fiber laser cutting machine uses a type of solid-state laser to melt and pierce metals, achieving a precise and efficient cut. The laser medium for this technology is optical fibre, as opposed to gas or crystal, giving fiber laser cutting its name.

Fiber lasers are a newer technology in the laser cutting world. On an industrial level, they’re often deployed to cut thin sheets of metal for production components. In desktop form, they’re still expensive machines, but they do have a number of benefits including electrical efficiency and fewer moving parts.

Fiber lasers can cut through most metals, but finding the correct pulse and amount of power to use for different materials is important. Fiber laser cutters can cut a range of materials and thicknesses depending on the capacity of the equipment. Most fiber laser machines can cut up cut stainless steel up to 10mm thick.

This sort of laser cutter is commonly used in manufacturing and infrastructure, as fiber laser cutting machines are significantly more expensive than CO2 laser cutters, which are within the budget of schools and hobbyists.

Fiber lasers cut metal faster, the beam is smaller so it’s more precise, and it uses less electricity. Fiber lasers are also easier to work with and cheaper to maintain in the long run.

In a fiber laser, the laser itself is generated from an optical fiber with rare-earth elements (such as erbium, ytterbium, or neodymium) added. Fiber lasers cut without a support gas. Lasers produced in this method are very stable and easy to focus.

After the metal has been cut, there are a few processing techniques you can use to give the material a cleaner finish. The cut edges can be sharp, so using a deburring tool or sanding down the edges is often a good idea. Depending on what metal you’re working with, you can also add a finish to the piece. This includes polishing, acid etching, painting, hydro dipping and more, all of which can add some extra character to your project.
