Advantages

Higher Precision

Compared to manual cutting, CNC laser cutting proves to be significantly more precise. Cleans cuts and precise edges are obtained from a computer-controlled beam that cuts with a precision of a fraction of a millimeter. Manual cutting yields less accurate cuts because it is more vulnerable to human error and thus, is not as preferred.

Faster Cutting Speed

CNC laser cutting is way faster. The laser beams easily melt and vaporize materials. Thus, an entire area can be cut quickly. Moreover, as compared to manual cutting, CNC laser cutting is efficient, effortless, and time-saving, especially for bulk production.

The perks of CNC laser cutting surpass those of manual cutting. Unlike manual cutting, the precision of CNC laser cutting is impeccable. It can be done at the micron level unlike the limited precision of manual cutting. Moreover, the speed at which laser cutting is done greatly increases the rate of production efficiency. It is feasible for CNC laser cutting to take on intricate and detailed designs which are impossible to do with manual cutting. Also, the consistency in quality achieved through CNC laser cutting is unmatched, resulting in lower waste and improved product quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between CNC laser cutting and manual cutting?

Micron accuracy is possible with CNC laser cutting which is not the case with manual cutting precision. Automation makes cutting more efficien, especially with CNC laser cutting as it can operate round the clock without resting. Manual cutting takes longer and is more labor intensive. It would also be easier for a CNC laser cutter to cut more elaborate shapes compared to a manual cutter. A clean cut is also easier to obtain with less material wastage when using a CNC laser cutter.
When a project is smaller in scale or more complex where a one-off novation is expected, manual cutting is more feasible because the cost of CNC laser cutting machine payments is deemed unsuitable. It is also beneficial for rough cuts, requiring expediency but without the accuracy precision. For some cases when materials become cumbersome in weight or bulkiness for CNC machines wires, manual cutting becomes a reasonable option. However, for those who require large scale productions or highly accurate precision work, CNC laser cutting is preferred in most cases.

CNC Laser Cutting Outshines Manual Cutting

It is far more efficient to do CNC laser cutting than manual cutting. There is precision cutting of materials and virtually no waste. The speed of the cut is significantly higher than any manual method of cutting, resulting in greater productivity. Furthermore, the CNC can be programmed to do complex shapes and patterns with great ease. There is really no comparison of manual cutting with CNC laser cutting in terms of efficiency and accuracy.

Higher Precision and Speed

Higher Precision and Speed

CNC laser cutting uses a computer-controlled laser beam to follow pre-defined patterns. This coupled with the decreased cutting speed result in greater precision compared to manual cutting. The finer details achievable through CNC laser cutting, paired with the higher quality products guarantee an increase in productivity.
Reduced Labor and Error

Reduced Labor and Error

Cutting by hand needs highly specialized workers and is susceptible to mistakes. In contrast, CNC laser cutting saves on labor, in terms of a worker’s hands-on physical work. Once it is set up properly and programmed, the machine has the ability to run continuously and will produce the same result over and over again, thereby reducing errors and necessary rework.
