CNC machining processes

Laser cutting

Laser cutting is a precise cutting process for the post processing of fibre reinforced composite and thermoformed plastic components. A focused laser beam is guided along the defined contour under CNC control, cutting the material precisely without physical contact.

Especially for three dimensionally formed parts, the process enables clean cutting edges, high repeatability and flexible adaptation to different geometries. The result is dimensionally accurate components with precise cutouts, openings and contours, without mechanical stress on the workpiece.

Advantages and applications of laser cutting

The non contact nature of laser cutting provides high cutting quality and dimensional accuracy while minimizing mechanical stress on the component.

As there is no tool contact, no burrs or deformation occur. Contour changes can be implemented quickly through software, making the process particularly flexible and cost effective for series production.

Typical applications of laser cutting include contour accurate trimming of fibre reinforced composite and thermoformed plastic components, creating functional openings, and precisely cutting out viewing and ventilation elements.

The process is primarily used for housings, panels and technical plastic components in the automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology and defence industries. Especially for complex three dimensional geometries, laser cutting enables clean, repeatable post processing with high process reliability.

GEISS offers high performance CNC controlled machining systems for laser cutting, specifically designed for post processing. The systems enable precise three dimensional contour guidance and consistent cutting quality, even with complex component geometries.

With automated processes and integrated process monitoring, the systems are ideally suited for high production volumes and cost effective series production.
