Always remember to use safety protection when cutting our material.
Laser cut carbon fiber cloth.
Two principles of laser cutting with cw lasers can be used for cutting carbon fiber fabrics gas assisted laser cutting galc and remote laser cutting.
Laser cutting carbon fiber can be done with either a co 2 laser or a fiber laser but the highest quality cut is achieved when using multiwave hybrid technology which combines a 10 6 micron wavelength co 2 laser beam and a 1 06 micron fiber laser beam into a single hybrid laser beam.
Cutting carbon fiber with a laser cutter.
Even though carbon fiber has a very high tensile strength it has only moderate shear strength so it is fairly easy to cut.
What we used was a pair of scissors.
The laser melts the epoxy much faster than it can have an impact on the carbon fibers.
This results in a very poor cut line and very few broken fibers.
