Laser cutting, also known as laser beam cutting, refers to the cutting of solid materials using continuous or pulsed laser radiation through material ablation. Almost any type of material, such as metals or other organic materials, can be cut using state-of-the-art laser radiation. The parameters of the laser radiation, such as wavelength, average power, pulse energy, and pulse duration, must be adjusted accordingly for the application. The microscopic ablation mechanism and the thermal effects are essentially determined by the pulse duration and the irradiance.

Important elements of a laser beam cutting machine are the laser beam source, the laser beam guide, and the processing head (focusing optics) including the cutting nozzle. The beam leaving the laser beam source can be guided in the near infrared via fiber optic cables, or in the case of CO₂ lasers via deflection mirrors to the focusing optics at the processing point. The focusing optics bundle the laser beam into a focus, thus generating the intensity required for cutting.

The process is used where complex contours (two- or three-dimensional), precise, fast processing (typically 10 m/min, but also up to over 100 m/min), the production of three-dimensional openings (even in hard-to-reach places) and/or contactless, virtually force-free machining are required. Compared to alternative processes such as punching, laser cutting can be used economically even for very small batch sizes. Laser cutting makes it possible to create any conceivable contour.
