A guide to all things laser cutting
Successful laser-cutting of a reflective material involves managing several critical factors to achieve precise and efficient results. The factors include the focus point, cutting speed, power settings, and choice of cutting gas. Each element plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the cut and minimizing the risk of damage to the material and … Read more
Cheap laser cutters are commonly used in educational institutions, maker spaces, and workshops, offering a cost-effective way for students and learners to gain hands-on experience with laser cutting technology.

Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 are both solid-state lasers, meaning they both use a crystal as the laser-active material. In the case of Nd:YAG, it is a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet. This means the YAG crystal has neodymium atoms added to its crystal structure. In contrast, the Nd:YVO4 laser has neodymium atoms built into a yttrium orthovanadate … Read more
