Laser cutting involves the use of a laser beam to cut certain designs, shapes, and patterns into a workpiece by burning, melting, or vaporizing the material. Laser cutting is a thermal-based and non-contact process that’s suitable for multiple types of materials, including glass, wood, metal, paper, plastic, and gemstone. At Shoemaker MFG Solutions, Inc., we provide laser cutting services based on our customers’ unique requirements.
