Nowadays, mechanical cutting and milling are often used for composite materials. Laser cutting is a relatively fast and a clean way of processing. Laser cutting can avoid tool wear and tear problems and can reduce dust in conventional processing. However, the laser cutting process of composite materials will release pungent and toxic gases. In order to comply with current regulations, a three-fold safety protection system is established for these harmful gases to ensure the safety of the process. Compared to the conventional machining process, laser processing has superiority in lower processing cost, higher processing efficiency and less dust contamination. This article will introduce the above described composite materials with laser cutting technology in detail.
