Abstract

In the 20th century, there were four major inventions: semiconductor, computer numerical control, atom centered energy technology and laser technology. Laser cutting technology is the most widely and rapidly developed in laser technology, which has greatly transformed and innovated the traditional machinery manufacturing industry. Because it has the advantages of precision manufacturing, flexible cutting, special-shaped processing, one-time forming, high speed, high efficiency and low cost, good cutting product quality, high degree of automation, and many kinds of cutting materials, it has solved many problems that cannot be solved by conventional methods in industrial production. This paper discusses the principle of laser cutting, the status quo of laser cutting, and studies the development trend of laser cutting technology. It emphasizes the advantages of laser cutting and the necessity of replacing traditional processing, and gives the improvement plan under the current situation.
