For cutting metals, various methods such as laser cutting, waterjet cutting, air cutting, plasma cutting, cutting with cutting blades and etc. can be used. Laser cutting is used in cases where the user wants to cut metals with a low thickness (usually less than 8 mm) and also when the desired tolerance is low or in other words, the cutting accuracy is high. Of course, there are laser devices that can cut steel up to a few centimeters, but their use is not common due to their high purchase costs and high electrical power consumption.

Laser cutting is a technology in which laser beams are used for cutting and engraving on fabrics, papers, metals, woods, etc. It is widely used in industry. Laser cutting machines work by focusing the output beam of a powerful laser on the materials. Industrial lasers are used in various industries such as military, construction, aerospace, medicine, laboratory and research, communications, physics, chemistry and etc.
