were adapted to cut non-metals, such as textiles, because, at the time, CO₂ lasers were not powerful enough to overcome the thermal conductivity of metals.

Process

The laser beam is generally focused using a high-quality lens on the work zone. The quality of the beam has a direct impact on the focused spot size. The narrowest part of the focused beam is generally less than 0.0125 in in diameter. Depending
